Thomasville resident Lindsay Shiver is under arrest after Bahamian Police uncovered a plot crafted by her and two men to kill her estranged husband, Robert Shiver.

According to Bahamas Court News, police arrested Shiver, 36, along with her lover Terrance Bethel, 28, of Guana Cay, Abaco and hitman Farron Newbold Jr., 28, of the Bahamas. Bahamian police say they uncovered the plot on July 16, while searching the phone and social media app of a suspected burglar.

A source familiar with the investigation said the Shivers have a home in the Bahamas, where Lindsay first began an affair with Bethel. Upon Robert finding out about the affair, he filed for divorce. That is when Lindsay, Bethel and and Newbold Jr. concocted a plan to murder Robert.

Authorities are currently holding Lindsay, Bethel and Newbold Jr. in jail. They were not required to enter a plea and have to return to court October 5.

Oh FFS!!! Well if they had a home in the Bahamas. He filed for divorce. I bet she felt she wouldn't get what she thought she should in a divorce. Normal people just get divorced. Money is a very old motive for murder. Divorce, Child support, Life insurance, Inheritance, To silence a person who discovered embezzlement. There are so many.

Georgia woman arrested in Bahamas in alleged plot to kill former Auburn football player husband​

“So thankful for that fitness class 13 years ago that brought us together and all of the love, laughter, and life we have created ever since! I love you babe. Cheers to many more,” Lindsay Shiver wrote in the caption of a 2020 post with an array of photos — one of which featured them on their wedding day.

After his career with Auburn University, Robert Shiver signed with the Atlanta Falcons as a free agent but was cut before the start of the 2009 season.

He is listed as the executive vice president of Senior Life Insurance Company in Thomasville, Ga.
 

Ex-Auburn football player was locked in nasty custody battle before wife’s alleged murder plot​


Lindsay and Robert Shiver fighting over private jet, $2.5 million Georgia mansion and custody of their 3 sons​


A Georgia woman charged in the Bahamas for an alleged plot to assassinate her estranged husband, Robert Shiver, was in the midst of a vicious divorce battle over child custody and the family's multimillion-dollar fortune.

The couple, who live in Thomasville, appeared to have the perfect marriage, frequently vacationing with their three sons on the Caribbean islands, where they posed for photos on yachts and poolside at the exclusive Baker's Bay Golf and Ocean Club.

The 13-year marriage took a turn when Robert, 38, allegedly caught his wife having an affair and filed for divorce in April on grounds of "adulterous conduct," according to court papers. She responded with accusations of "physical and mental cruel treatment," including domestic violence. As the pair ruthlessly sparred in legal filings, they continued to live together with their children in their 8,000-square-foot Thomasville mansion.
 
THERE is a NATIONAL Peanut Festival Pageant? She was second runner up. Wow.. Impressive.

He made it to the NFL but was cut in short order.

Fighting over a private jet, in the midst of a vicious divorce yet lived together in their 8,000 sq. ft. mansion. Not sure where the money came from unless he really excelled at the insurance thing.

A home in the Bahamas, trips to the Bahamas, soccer mom, picture perfect life on social media.

Seems very money centric with total emphasis on such and the surface ideal picture portrayed. What could possibly go wrong in a relationship where money, pleasure and image seem to be the important things.
 
The lifestyles of the rich and not famous. She didn't become Ms. Peanut and he isn't in the NFL. Maybe that's part of it, the failed dreams. Sarcasm.

What's the financial situation? Drowning in debt and living above their means or all paid for? And of course, let's not forget to ask what the life insurance situation is...

a judge set a $100,000 cash bond for Lindsay Shiver, the former Dothan pageant queen implicated in an alleged plot to kill her husband.

Under the terms set by a Supreme Court judge, she must remain in The Bahamas until at least an October 5 hearing, Our News reported late Tuesday.

The judge set bond at $20,000 for each of the two other suspects in the case, her alleged lover and hitman.

Terrance Bethel and Faron Newbold, also referred to as Faron Roberts, Jr., must adhere to a curfew, while Shiver is required to wear an ankle monitor.

Wannabe music producer. That says it all. Meaning a failure to launch. Imo. What did the lover do, other than be recruited as a hit man?

Seems like light bond on them all but always is imo when no actual murder occurred. The victim has to let themselves be killed to get real justice. Sarcasm but basically true. They'd be dumb of course to kill him now with their plans outed but people have been dumber...

Is she out yet on bail? Curious to see what if any assets there are to be tapped... I suspect they were living beyond their means but could be wrong.

Childhood friends Bethel and Newbold were released Thursday on $20,000 bail and ordered to remain in Marsh Harbour where they will have to steer clear of one another and abide by a curfew.

Shiver will have to find five times that amount in cash and persuade a judge that she has a place to stay in the Bahamas before she can be released with an electronic ankle tag.


The former beauty pageant contestant is said to have been hooking up for the past several months with Bethel, whom she met while vacationing in Great Guana Cay, a sun-steeped resort island off the coast of Abaco.

Robert’s family own property there in exclusive Baker’s Bay, a members-only golf resort where Michael Jordan, Justin Timberlake and Tom Brady have sprawling coastal mansions.

But they cut off Shiver’s access to the luxurious residence and the family’s private jet in April after Robert learned of her fling with Bethel and filed for divorce, citing his wife’s ‘adulterous conduct’.

Shiver hit back in a counter-filing, accusing Robert of domestic abuse and claiming that any ‘extramarital relationship’ came after they had already split. Since then, Robert and their three kids, all aged under 12, have remained at the $2.5 million marital home in Thomasville while Shiver has travelled back and forth to the Bahamas to visit Bethel, sources say.

‘It’s common knowledge that they are dating,’ a friend told DailyMail.com. ‘It was like a crazy love affair between them.’

....... We previously unmasked Newbold – alias Faylo - as a wannabe music producer and the son of a respected local politician in Marsh Harbour, the principal town in Abaco. His day job is working as a structural engineer for a power company. According to Bahamian authorities, Newbold was enlisted by Shiver, 36, and her barman boyfriend Terrance Bethel, 28, to target her estranged husband

has spent the past two weeks locked up in a grim Nassau prison after cops uncovered evidence of the supposed ‘murder-for-hire’ plot from WhatsApp messages between the trio.

But a source with knowledge of the investigation predicted that prosecutors may have a hard time proving that Newbold intended to kill Auburn standout Robert, who is now safely back in Thomasville, Georgia with the couple’s three young sons.

‘He has not confessed and there is little evidence that he agreed to an offer,’ our source explained.

‘There is no evidence that he objected either. But, of course, it will be up to the Crown to prove that he was genuinely prepared to kill Mr Shiver.’

@GrandmaBear
It is early, but my prediction is Faylo will go free.

as for living beyond their means, seems Faylo is a structural engineer and wannabe music producer on the side.

Shiver's parents have money and her husband's family have megabucks. Robert has a very good position moneywise.

I see that now, that there is money at least on his side or at least his family has money. The other guy yeah works a real job and has a local politician father right? But her lover doesn't, works as a bartender or something.

Does the husband's family fund their lifestyle or did his job?

Yeah I was going by the first info out which didn't share much other than she was a pageant winner somewhere, some small town or something and he played for the NFL but not for long. Other than his insurance job, I don't see the money channel unless family funds them.

So then is there a prenup??

Why does she need him dead if there's so much money to split? And if she comes from money too? Over custody?

The "source" says the case is weak at least against the guy. Could this even be set up against them all? How much power does his family wield there? This is so new and I have so little time or attention span for it when I do have it sometimes with all going on, how did police come to know about this plan? I can't recall if it said.

Just trying to figure it out. It could be over custody but I'd lay a wager if she really wanted him dead it is over assets and money. And again why if there was so much and she'd be owed her part?
 

Lindsay Shiver's husband hired private investigator to track down her Bahamian bartender lover and confronted him - before she 'plotted murder-for-hire'​


Robert is said to have sarcastically thanked Bethel for confirming his suspicions — saying, 'thanks for taking care of my wife — before filing for divorce in a legal battle that would see him and Lindsay fight for custody of their three children and their property portfolio spanning from Georgia to the Caribbean.

Lindsay was later arrested for trying to kill her husband amid the divorce proceedings and allegedly confessed to sending photos and messages to an aspiring rapper — instructing him to murder her husband of 13 years.

Unnamed sources told the New York Post of Robert's plan to catch his wife cheating, saying he paid the private eye to tail her across several bars near their home in the exclusive Baker's Bay community.

On one occasion, the PI took a photo of Lindsay with the innocent manager of Grabbers Bar & Grill.

But when Robert went to confront the man, the manager insisted he had no idea what he was talking about.

It was only later that the sleuth caught Lindsay with Bethel, allegedly taking photos of the two in several different locations — including the Nassau, Bahamas, airport. Those photos would play an important role in Robert's divorce case.

Lindsay is now said to have been hooking up for the past several months with Bethel, whom she met while vacationing in Great Guana Cay in the Abaco Islands, where Robert's family owns property. They later cut off her access to the luxurious residence and the family's private jet in April after Robert learned of her fling with Bethel

Amid the bitter court proceedings last month, detectives uncovered Lindsay's alleged murder-for-hire plot when they were investigating a break-in at Grabbers. They asked staff – including Bethel - to hand over their phones for inspection and found WhatsApp messages in which he, Lindsay and aspiring rapper Faron Newbold allegedly discussed killing Robert, who was visiting his family home in nearby Baker's Bay.

Robert was vacationing independently of his estranged wife when cops contacted him to warn him about the plot. He was left 'in fear of his life' and flew back to the US with their kids shortly afterward.

So far I'm guessing neither parent has ever really adulted. Although the two men involved apparently have jobs that too doesn't mean they've ever adulted in any real way. You're a barman in a tourist area and get with a rich married not unattractive woman. You're a husband vacationing it seems a lot even though having a supposed job and hiring a PI to follow her.

They may say its about the kids but not one bit of this says to me either one is about the kids and their acts sure don't help them.
 
I've had no time to look at this at length but did see this which covers a lot of what is known out there for anyone interested.

 
New insight into the life of a Georgia woman accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill her estranged husband in the Bahamas.

New body camera video from police shows a confrontation at their south Georgia mansion just days before the trip.

Lindsay Shiver called the Thomasville Police Department and claimed her husband Robert pushed her during a fight over the trip.

In the video, Robert said he didn’t want Lindsay to come because she wanted to bring another lover and it would upset their three children.

Days later, Lindsay was arrested for allegedly plotting with her lover to hire a hitman to take out Robert.

That plot failed and Lindsay was arrested in the Bahamas.

She’s out on bond but not allowed to leave the island nation.
 
Trust Daily Mail with the sensational like pageant queen, football star, hellhole, etc.

On the other hand they don't have to try for sensational as this family is giving it.

His mother whines that can't get a hari from her head to test for drugs.

I'm not sticking up for Lindsay but I think there is a whole lot of gaslighting going on here and I have no doubt some money and power is playing in.

I am not enamored with a single one of them and they all act like a bunch of children. His mother seems and sounds interfering and talking sennsational sh*t herself. Who knows what is true. This is going to be one nasty divorce and the relationship has already been for how long.

It's the kids who suffer at the hands of all of them here including grandma if you ask me and their behaviors.

I don't know what to believe and honestly I think one is as bad as the other.

I hate to be nasty but she's now a chubby former pageant queen and he dresses like a dork. And yes her lover claims he is in love with her. Okayyyy.....

And someone dropped off a jUSB drive to both him and his parents. Isn't that just odd....

It isn't a surprise the case is staying in the news, it has all of the elements fo the rich, the famous and the sensational.

But I feel like I am watcing adult people behaving like children having hissy fits and trying to one up the other or get the other in trouble (which isn't funny) and that INCLUDES grandma. No one is thinking of the kids imo.

The USB drive thing AND the robbery allowing the bar manager's/lover's phone to be looked at seems just a little too convenient for my taste.

Lindsay Shiver appears in Bahamas court with lover Terrance Bethel and 'hitman' Faron Newbold as lawyers ask judge to speed up her case after hearing was adjourned until December​



  • Lindsay Shiver's lawyers Thursday asked a judge for no further delays in her case after prosecutors told the court the Voluntary Bill of Indictment wasn't ready
  • The case was adjourned until December 1, but insiders told DailyMail.com there's 'no guarantee Shiver will go on trial next year let alone this year'
  • Their hopes of a speedy trial look forlorn, however, as the overburdened Bahamas judicial system buckles under a backlog of hundreds of cases
