U.S. News - Husband charged with murdering wife -- mother of triplets The husband of a southeast Missouri woman missing for nearly a year has been charged with first-degree murder. Cape Girardeau County prosecutor Morley Swingle filed the murder charge Monday against 41-year-old Clay Waller, even though the body of his estranged wife, Jacque Waller, has never been found. Swingle says he will not seek the death penalty. Waller is also charged with tampering with evidence. Waller is already serving in federal prison for threatening Jacque Waller's sister in an online posting. He did not have a listed attorney.
