The estranged husband of missing woman Jacque Waller told police Friday several derogatory terms had been spray-painted on his truck.
They included killer, child molester and dirtbag.
At 12:30 p.m. Friday, James C. Waller II, known commonly as "Clay," came to the Cape Girardeau police station to report the damage to his 1993 Nissan pickup truck, said Sgt. Jason Selzer, public information officer.
Waller's wife disappeared June 1. She was last seen near the place where her husband was living at the time in Jackson. The story of the missing mother of triplets has now gained national media attention. Clay Waller is a person of interest, but not a suspect, in the case.
The words appeared in black spray paint on both the hood and the driver's side of the truck, Selzer said.
Clay Waller told police this occurred between June 26 and July 10 at his home in Cape Girardeau.
He identified a person he thought was responsible, Selzer said, but police have not yet made contact with the individual.
