Laurie Shaver was found guilty of murdering her husband, Michael Shaver, in 2015. She buried his body under a concrete slab in their backyard and deceived his loved ones by impersonating him through messages. Shaver initially claimed that Michael had left her and was living elsewhere, but later blamed their daughter for the murder.
In a chilling case from February 2018, a man requested that the police check on his friend, Michael Shaver, who hadn't been seen since 2015 not even by his family. The 36 year old lived in Clermont, Florida, with his wife Laurie Shaver and their two young children. The couple had been high school sweethearts, and Michael worked as a monorail technician at Walt Disney World. Known for being a relaxed and devoted family man, his disappearance was baffling.
The last sighting of Michael before he mysteriously disappeared, apart from being seen by Shaver, was at a tractor show on 7, November 2015. A workmate noticed him with his family, and things seemed off-kilter, but they couldn't tell why, reports the Mirror. As the years ticked by, concern for Michael grew; he remained absent and didn't reach out to his kids. Doubt began to be cast over Shaver's varying narratives regarding his whereabouts. She spinned various versions Georgia to some, New York or California to others. To her new partner's mother, Michael was a globetrotting pilot, yet she informed her boss he was incarcerated over unpaid child support.
Two weeks after he was reported missing, the property was thoroughly searched. Police dogs were brought in and indicated the presence of human remains in the back garden, near an area where new concrete had been laid around a fire pit. Excavation equipment was brought in, and under a concrete slab in the backyard, items of clothing and what looked like a human arm bone were discovered. As they dug deeper, skeletal remains were found buried three feet below the surface.
They alleged that the girl, who was seven at the time of the murder and now a teenager, said she shot her father to protect her mother from supposed abuse during a dispute. However, both the daughter and Shaver also claimed that while married to Michael, Shaver had an affair with a married man who was present at the time of the murder and shot Michael a second time.
