The above photo is of Amy Yager, taken from her myspace page. She is not so lucky, on September 12, 2008 in her home, Jeff David Yager, a Federal Officer, beat the luckiest woman in the world. Then he finished her off and fired 2 rounds into her body. One to the torso, the other at close ranger to her head.
Below is Jeffrey David Yager. The photo caption on my space says "MyBaby and his gun"
This big tin badge coward, murdered his wife. He sits in a Texas jail. Could he or someone post the $25,000 cash required to get out of jail until his trial? It is a possibility.
A news story appeared in a Texas paper on the murder and I was outraged by commentary left by readers claiming to be friends or realted to the couple here is a sample:
"i think a lot of you that have wrote these blogs should be ashame of you're self .you don't know how it is to come up with nothing and try to make something of you're self DAVID GREW UP WITH A HARD LIFE .I KNOW BECOUSE I WAS THER TO SEE HIM EVERY DAY .I KNOW WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG BUT THERE IS A WEAK SPOT IN EVERY ONE OF US .HOW MANY RICH PEOPLE HAVE KILLED IN A BIT OF ANGER? THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU JUST AS WELL AS AMY CLEAN UP YOU'RE ON BACK DOOR THEN WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS HE HAS TO ANSWER TO GOD NOT YOU. YOU DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY. DAVID IS A PART OF MY FAMILY SO I KNOW HOW HE GREW UP . THINK WHAT YOU MAY IT COULD BE YOU NEXT TIME."
Blaming, making excuses, all because we know the person arrested for the crime has become common in our society when a husband or an ex murders their spouse or significant other. Sorry but the friend or relative has not a clue about violence in the home or what a woman similar to Amy endures. And if you would like to send me nasty words in an email or on this blog I suggest you do your homework on my background, first.
When the tragedy was broadcast by the local media , a plea of sorts was sent out asking the public for any information they could provide in the case. Seems very clear cut to me. I was stumped as to what other information they [the police] are seeking? And this is what most of the news organizations asked: A motive for the crime was being investigated. Anyone with information should call the special crimes Tnit at 378-9468. The police are asking the public for a motive??? Again, you have the shooter, the weapon, and the body. Is there any question about that? If they are so concerned and wish to wast manpower begin by checking the police department phone call logs just two nights before the shooting. Didn't Amarillo Police respond to a domestic disturbance call at the home of the Yager's?
There are no room for questions, doubts or stone throwing in this case. It is simple. Jeffrey David Yager Murdered Amy Yager in cold blood.
Today, Amy was laid to rest. It is important to me as the daughter of a law enforcement officer who murdered his wife, and my mother, that changes on how these cases are handled, charged and reported come out of the stone age and into the twenty first century.
Stop sugar coating these cases at both the felony and misdeameanor level. Redirect how they are reported in the media. Train Officers to see the signs within their own units.
Amy Yager, and the thousands before her, did not have to die because someone demanded power and control over their lives.
There's your investigation summary!

I do have a beef with you-you bitter-bitter bitch. You did not know either of them and yea sometimes peoples past has a way of infecting a current situation.
He was drunk and he shot her. He wasn't in his right mind at the time. Why don't you get yourself a big fat dildo and shut your mouth.
He was drunk? PLease stop excusing what he did to Amy. I am so sick of people using excuses.
RIP Amy.
I am shocked at the posts supporting this murderer.
I hope they realize they're only helping to convince every normal person in this world that Yager and his friends are bad and violent people.
How dare you call Susan names. She cares for the victims, she gives hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless.
You're not doing anything but making yourself and your friend look worse and like white trash!
Delete that persons comment!
I just tripped upon this site and it didn't take me long to figure out what's wrong. It's the family and friends none of them care about people outside their circle.
They all seem to be foul mouthed, excuse driven, psychopaths. If you don't know what a psychopaths is look it up. Several of you including the murderer show classic signs. Continually making excuses and attempt to divert attention away from your own self-made problems.
I think a better excuse for this young mans murderous rage would not be the drinking but maybe the influence of his wayward family and friends.

Such a waste of a bright and beautiful life:
Amy P. Yager AMARILLO, Texas - Amy Elizabeth Partner Yager, 26, of Amarillo, formerly of Franklin and Hampton, died tragically at her home in Amarillo Friday, Sept. 12, 2008. She was born in Price, Utah, on July 13, 1982, to Karl Taylor Partner and the late Deborah Anne Partner. Amy graduated from Southampton Academy in Courtland in 2000 on academic scholarship. She attended Brigham Young University Hawaii for 1? years. During her time in Hawaii, Amy developed a love of the ocean, having taken up the sport of surfing. Because of her love of the ocean she then joined the U.S. Navy and served for three years as a petty officer pursuing a career as an EOD diver and underwater welder, until a hip injury resulted in her honorable medical discharge. Amy then moved from Hampton to Texas in 2006, attending Amarillo College and transferring to West Texas A&M, majoring in interior design and a minor in business. Amy adopted, practiced and enjoyed many qualities of the Buddhist faith in her adult life. She is survived by her father and stepmother, Karl and Laurie Partner of Palmyra, Va.; brothers and sisters, Jason Partner of Page, Ariz., Seth Partner of Westchester County, New York, Sam Partner, Tess Partner, and Ashley Herndon, all of Palmyra, and Matthew Herndon of Scottsville, Va. She has one nephew, William Taylor Partner of Page, Ariz. Her two surviving grandmothers are Mrs. Beth Partner of Dolores, Colo., and Mrs. Dorothy Stephens of Charlottesville, Va. Amy was predeceased by her maternal grandmother, Gilberta Blume Kotsch and paternal grandfather, Alfred A. Partner. Amy has many loving aunts, uncles and cousins, who are also mourning her death. The family will receive friends Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Wright Funeral Home, Franklin. The funeral will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday at Wright Funeral Home with Bishop Jim Council presiding. Interment will follow at Poplar Spring Cemetery in Franklin where Amy will be laid to rest beside her mother. The family will then receive friends at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Homestead Road in Franklin following the interment. A memorial service will be held at a later date by close friends in Amarillo, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made, in Amy's name, to one of the charitable organization very near to Amy's heart: Breast Cancer Awareness, Domestic Violence Outreach and Awareness, or a branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Please refer to your local directory for the address closest to you. Wright Funeral Home has charge of arrangements. www.wrightfuneralhome.org.
Nothing "cute" about little boy and his weapon. I am worried a defense lawyer will try and use the insanity plea in this case.
Agent Yager knows the system, he will use every legal tactic to not go to prison. The rights of Amy will be pushed off to the side as they are in many of these case's when a husband murders his wife.
There should be a "no excuse plead" in cases where it is cut & dry.
Prayers an Gods love may they shine and remain bright in the weeks and months ahead for Amy's family & friends.

Thank you for your efforts. How did you find out the police had responded to the home two days earlier? I am Amy's maternal aunt, and we have been kept in the dark. We want justice, but we fear he will not be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. What can I do to make sure he is prosecuted? What can I do to make sure other young women have help and intervention with domestic violence especially when their husbands are issued duty weapons.
AuntShell-why don't you email me at
contact@movingoutmovingon.com and we can talk about some strategies regarding your niece.
You are right on with your investigation summary. It is pathetic that family and friends of Jeffrey 'David' Yager are pointing fingers and blaming alcohol, his past, circumstances, or that he was having issues. It doesnt frickin matter! Take responsibility for your actions Mr. Yager! You took our Amy Elizabeth Olson ( BTW: Olson was the name on her birth certificate when she was born in Price, Utah...Her Real Father was only allowed a few minutes to be with Amy in her closed casket) from us! You are an evil coward Jeffrey Yager. You took a life, Your life should now be taken. Real justice would be after you were beaten and then shot from the back when you were least expecting it. It may not happen in this life, but you will get what is coming to you.
Thank You Susan. Keep up the informative blog.
My husband is also a Federal Agent and worked with David Yager. I am proud of him and what he does. We, like most of you, were horrified and shocked at what David did to Amy. I don't believe Amy's death had anything to do with David being an Agent or ex-military. It had to do with a defect or demon inside of him. Please quit inferring that a man with a badge is an automatic abuser. I for one, know this is not the case.
