A Virginia man on trial for the death of his long-and-still-missing wife was allegedly cheating on her for years, a witness said in court on Wednesday morning. The day before, jurors heard testimony the defendant believed his wife was cheating on him – and had often threatened to kill her over her suspected infidelity.

Shanitia Eure-Lewis, 35, was last seen by family and friends on July 17, 2022, according to the Newport News Police Department.

On July 18, 2022, she was reported missing and “believed to be in extreme danger” by the Virginia State Police. That same day, her husband, Adrian Lewis, 50, bought a ticket to Jamaica, police allege.

On July 19, 2022, Lewis was charged with one count each of murder in the first degree and using a firearm in commission of a felony in connection with his wife’s disappearance. She is presumed dead – though her body has yet to be found. He was arrested around 4:15 a.m. the day before at Washington Dulles International Airport near the departure gate for a flight headed to Montego Bay.
