7. Cape Girardeau, MO: Jacque Waller

When Jacque Rawson met Clay Waller in the early 1990s, she pictured an ideal life of raising a family. After years of trying, the couple finally welcomed triplets, but that didn't do much to turn Clay into a more doting husband and father. Clay had been allegedly having affairs, was abusive, and tried to put a divide between her and her family. As time went on, Jacque finally saw an opportunity to leave, and after a meeting with Clay at the divorce attorney's office, she suddenly disappeared.  What follows is a year of investigation that finally leads to the arrest of her killer.
