Parents of missing Missouri mom, Jacque Waller, hope for break in case, says report
(CBS/AP) COLUMBIA, Mo. - The parents of missing Missouri mother Jacque Sue Waller said Monday they are hoping for a break in the case this week, after Waller's father said "blood evidence" was recovered from the home of his daughter's estranged husband, according to a report.
Nearly two months have passed since 39-year-old Jacque, mother of triplets, went missing on June 1, the same day family members say she and her estranged husband Clay Waller planned to visit a divorce attorney in southeast Missouri.
Waller was last seen near her husband's home in nearby Jackson, her car abandoned along interstate 55 with a flat tire.
Jacque's mother, Ruby Rawson, said Monday that she's confident a break in the case will happen soon after new leads continue to come in, reports Fox News.
Ruby's husband Stan reportedly said blood evidence was discovered inside Clay Waller's home, according to Fox.
Clay Waller told police he and his wife argued that day but denies any role in what is currently a missing person's case. He remains a person of interest, but no charges have been filed.
"Clay misses Jacque. He is saddened and shocked by her disappearance," said Scott Reynolds, Clay Waller's attorney. "He hopes and prays for her safe return and his heart goes out to the Rawson family despite their repeated accusations against him."
Friends and loved ones say Jacque Waller, a former cheerleader at Southeast Missouri State University who met her estranged husband while in college, would never leave her children behind.
"She was the most devoted mother I've ever seen," said her father, Stan. "She loved those kids."
