Kennett man charged with murder

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Charges have been filed against Cleveland Pulliam, 68, of Kennett, for the murder of Jacqueline Kaye Farmer, 47, of Kennett, Dunklin County Prosecuting Attorney Stephen P. Sokoloff announced Friday.

Pulliam is being charged with Ist Degree Murder and Armed Criminal Action.

According to Chief Barry Tate, with the Kennett Police Department, Farmer was pronounced dead at the scene and an autopsy concluded that her death was a result of stab wounds, as well as blunt force trauma.

"I want to thank the community for their support and assistance in this investigation, but a special thank you to the family of Mrs. Farmer, for their patience during this investigation," Tate said.

On Sunday, April 27, 2008, Kennett Police were called to the scene of an apparent homicide at 226 W. 9th St., where Farmer's body was found by a family member.

Sokoloff praised the work of the Dunklin County Major Case Squad, KPD, Dunklin County Sheriff's Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control for their intense efforts during the investigation of this murder.

"These officers did a phenomenal job, working tirelessly to bring this case to a point where charges could be filed," Sokoloff said.

A warrant was issued for Pulliam by Associate Circuit Judge John Spielman, who ordered Pulliam be held without bond.

I was very saddened to hear of the tragic death of my family's friend Jacqueline. I pray God's blessings for her family during their time of mourning.

My prayers go out to her family. I went to school with her and her brothers and sisters. I will always remember her BIG smile and her BIG laugh! I would always make her laugh...she would say:"Tim, you so crazy, HeHeHeHe!" Those of you who knew her, know what I'm talking about...don't you?

Thank you all so much for the work that went into this investigation. It was so hard to be patient but I finally realized in order for it to be correct, I had to be patient. I had asked several people to pray for the investigation team as they charged the man we all knew took the life of my Jackie friend.
