OPINION

LUTTIG, Circuit Judge:

Appellant Robert Peter Russell was convicted of the federal offense of first-degree murder for killing his wife, an officer in the United States Marine Corps. The evidence supporting Russell’s conviction was all circumstantial. His wife’s body has never been found, there were no witnesses to the crime, and the murder weapon has not been located.
