A little more info in this article:
Georgia man charged with murder, arson in wife's 2013 death
.....
After a jury trial in 2016, Sheffield won a $270,000 judgment against State Farm after the company refused to pay his insurance claim for fire damage to the house and a motorcycle.
[.....]
In her decision, the judge wrote that during a deposition, State Farm lawyers wrung an admission from Sheffield acknowledging affairs with at least three women while he was married.
She also wrote that as part of their investigation, GBI investigators found nude photos of a woman on a cellphone Sheffield used to call the woman on two separate occasions just prior to the murder of his wife.
Haven't see "how old" Sheffield is?

Nothing in the news since December 2018?!?
Husband arrested nearly 6 years after Georgia woman’s brutal death
... declined to say what led officials to arrest Timothy Sheffield, who is being held at the Coffee County Jail. According to jail administration, he was denied bond.
