Who murdered Jacqueline Watts? Missing Indianapolis woman found dead.

Officers said Watts had been in the Columbus area to drop off pets at her parents’ home ahead of D.C. trip with her husband. It is believed en route to drop off the pets, Watts had gone looking for the run away dog, having created a social media post where she asked for help finding a 10-year-old poodle, in which she described the animal being ‘sick, has cataracts, and is almost deaf.’

A report via the nydailynews tells of Watts being a dedicated animal activist and having served on the board of directors of Indyclaw Rescue, an animal rescue organization founded in 2009.

Told Watts family in a press statement: ‘At a young age Jackie developed a love for animals. To say that this was Jackie’s passion was an understatement,’

‘If she believed she could help an animal in need she would do so without hesitation. We know Jackie gave her life for what she believed in … oh that we would all be filled with enough passion to give our lives for what we truly believed in.’

The animal lover regularly fostered animals, on many occasions taking home some of the sickest ones to show them what having a home feels like.

Perhaps ironically, it wasn’t until Sunday, a day after the missing woman’s body had been discovered along the river that Watts’ missing pooch was also discovered by the river.
