Julian Clifton Lewis, a 51-year-old electrician, was murdered in his Keeling, Virginia, home on October 30, 2002. The attack also killed his 25-year-old son, Charles C.J. Lewis. Both victims were shot while they slept after two men entered the mobile home through an unlocked back door.

Investigators say the killings were carried out as part of a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by Julian’s wife, Teresa Lewis, who stood to collect a $250,000 life insurance policy. Teresa reportedly met Matthew Shallenberger and Rodney Fuller in the fall of 2002, promised them a portion of the policy, withdrew $1,200 to buy weapons, and later allowed the men into the home. Julian, as he lay dying, told a sheriff’s deputy that his wife knew who was responsible. Teresa waited more than an hour to call 911 and initially claimed unknown intruders had broken in.

The case focused quickly on Teresa; she failed a polygraph and later confessed to involvement. Matthew Shallenberger and Rodney Fuller were arrested for the killings. Does anyone have additional information about Julian or C.J.’s lives in Keeling, or remember anything from that night that could shed more light on the plot?
