Public defender Christopher Davis told The Associated Press that Clay Waller will confess to killing 39-year-old Jacque at a Thursday hearing. Jacque Waller's body was found on a Mississippi River island last Wednesday.
She had been missing since June 1, 2011, the same day the couple met with a divorce lawyer. Police said they had been living apart for about three months and had financial problems.
Davis would not say Wednesday whether Clay Waller led police to his wife's body.
Waller was charged last year with first-degree murder, even though his wife's body had not yet been found. He pleaded not guilty at the time.
