Clay Waller's sentencing hearing on federal Internet threatening charges has been pushed back two weeks to give the prosecution time to gather evidence and prepare testimony to contest the sentencing guidelines recently set forth by a presentence report.

Waller pleaded guilty Oct. 3 in federal court to a charge of making a threat against Cheryl Brennecke, his missing wife's sister and guardian of his children, on the online message board Topix. He faces up to five years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine for a charge of transmitting through interstate commerce a threat to injure. Waller was supposed to be sentenced Dec. 19, but the hearing will now commence Jan. 3, according to an order filed Thursday by U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr.

Officials involved in the Jacque Waller disappearance investigation no longer will have access to testimony that claims Clay Waller confessed to killing his wife.
James Clay Waller Sr., the only person Clay Waller allegedly confessed murdering Jacque Waller to, died Tuesday morning in a Cape Girardeau nursing home, Cape Girardeau County Coroner John Clifton confirmed Tuesday afternoon.

James Waller's death comes a month after Cape Girardeau Judge William Syler denied the preservation of his testimony that alleges Clay Waller confessed to murdering his estranged wife, Jacque Waller, who has been missing since June 1.

Clay Waller gets 5 years on federal charge; judge says evidence points to murder guilt

Cape Girardeau, MO

A federal judge sentenced Clay Waller to five years in a federal penitentiary Wednesday for Internet threatening charges. But first he told Waller that he was guilty of murdering his missing wife, Jacque Waller.

Clay Waller pleaded guilty Oct. 3 to threatening Cheryl Brennecke, his wife's sister and the guardian of his three children, on the Internet site Topix. After hearing emotional testimony from Brennceke and federal prosecutor Larry Ferrell's plea to significantly vary from the suggested 6- to 12-month sentence, Judge Stephen Limbaugh imposed the maximum sentence on Clay Waller, who has spent the last five months in federal custody.

"The court finds that based on preponderance, you did murder Jacque Waller," Limbaugh told Clay Waller shortly before sentencing him.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) -
Clay Waller was sentenced to five years in prison for threatening his missing wife's sister on the website Topix.

Prosecutors convinced the judge to give Waller the maximum federal prison sentence for that charge by telling the judge that threat to Jacque Waller's sister was serious.

Judge Limbaugh in the end told the court that he believes Clay Waller killed his wife and is a dangerous man.

In October, Clay Waller pleaded guilty to threatening to kill his estranged wife's sister, Cheryl Brenneke on Topix.

Tuesday in court, Waller said, "I'm sorry for causing problems. I just miss my kids...that's it."

Snipped:

Clay Waller will remain in the Pemiscot County Jail for the time being. Once transferred to prison, he will be required to serve 85% of his sentence. He will also get credit for federal time served.

Clay Waller's attorney filed an appeal for his federal sentence on Internet threatening charges Wednesday, but the details of the appeal weren't initially available to the public.

Waller was sentenced to five years in prison in January after he pleaded guilty in October to threatening Cheryl Brenneke, his sister-in-law and guardian of his three children, on an Internet message board in July. Brenneke's sister, Jacque Waller, has been missing since June 1, and Clay Waller is considered a suspect in her disappearance, although no charges have been filed against him.
