Jayne Valseca, the wife of Eduardo Valseca, died of cancer. NBC's Dateline shows their children expressing their experiences on the episode of 27 May 2022.  

Waldorf School Founder and Eduardo's wife Jayne was a strong woman who bravely handled her husband's kidnapping case. However, as strong as she may have been on the outside, her body gave up from the inside, as her battle with breast cancer eventually took her. 

According to IMDB, Jayne is a writer with credits on Stella (1990), We Have Your Husband (2011), and Dateline NBC (1992). After her husband's abduction in 2007, she advocated for kidnap victims in Mexico.

What Happened To Jayne Valseca? Eduardo Valseca Wife Had Stage 4 Cancer

Jayne Valseca, the wife of Eduardo Valesca, died of cancer.

While she was dealing with her husband's kidnapping in 2007, she had another predicament in her life. As per the 2020 report from NBC's Carol Gable, her stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer was in remission. 

However, Jayne's gut feeling about the illness' return towards the end of her spouse's captivity turned right. And just two weeks after Eduardo's release, she faced the devastating news. 

For six weeks after the prognosis of the terminal disease, she wanted to give up, losing her will to fight. However, the support from her family kept her going for four years.

Jayne went through exhausting cancer treatments. Just months before she passed, she bought teddy bears that could record voice messages and play them.

Eventually, on 3 May 2012, she died in Potomac, Maryland, aged 45. Afterward, her friends organized the Jayne Rager fund at the Waldorf School, which she had founded on her ranch for underprivileged children.

Jayne Valseca Kidnapped Husband Eduardo Came Back Safe, But Lost Her Life To Illness

Though Jayne Valseca's kidnapped husband, Eduardo, made it alive, she became the one who faced the sad fate, as she succumbed to the illness. 

The Valescas lived on a ranch in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico when the incident occurred. On 13 June 2007, the couple set out to drop their three kids off at the Waldorf School.

And while on the way home, armed kidnappers forcefully opened the couple's car. They then blindfolded the two and transferred them into a new vehicle. 

Despite being in serious trouble, Jayne remained calm as she tried to take notes of where the car turned and the duration of their travel. The vehicle stopped after some time, and the abductors moved Eduardo to another automobile. They left her stranded near a highway.

Nonetheless, she was able to memorize the license plate. Soon after returning home, she went to the police. The kidnappers originally asked for ransoms worth $8 million, and with no such amount on hand, the negotiations went for over six months. 

Eventually, Jayne asked two men to drop an undisclosed amount of cash at a location. Then, Eduardo returned home safely the next day.

After the incident, the family moved to her hometown in Mayland. 

As for the perpetrators, authorities arrested two Chilean ex-revolutionaries, Raul Julio Escobar Poblete (in May 2017) and Ricardo Palma Salamanca (in February 2018).

Poblete is imprisoned in Guanajuato, while the other seems to be in France. Reportedly, the French government denied extraditing him to Chile.

It was the last moment of pure innocence any of them would ever know...
