A Wisconsin man has been accused of killing his missing wife, who hasn’t been seen since disappearing in March 2017, PEOPLE confirms.

Police interviewed a woman with whom Sypher was allegedly having an affair, the complaint states. The woman allegedly told police Sypher had sexually assaulted her and threatened to kill her and then bury her body so that “nobody will ever find you,” the complaint states.

The complaint alleges that Jason bought 39-gallon trash bags on the day Krista disappeared, and states that GPS records from the Syphers’ Chevy Cruze indicated the car had stopped at or near area public dumpsters in the subsequent days.

While reviewing surveillance video of a waste transfer facility processing Plover’s garbage, police saw a “long black plastic bag consistent with the size of a human body” falling from a garbage truck, the complaint states.

Sypher was arrested last Friday near the Wisconsin-Illinois border following a traffic stop, according to the police release.

Sypher hasn’t entered a plea and PEOPLE was not immediately able to reach his attorney, Gary Kryshak. But the attorney told WJFW that “this case is probably the weakest case I’ve seen in years.”

A preliminary hearing is set for September 10, according to online court records.
