New Bodycam Footage Suggests Unusual Twist in Murder Plot Case
In a surprising turn of events, newly surfaced bodycam footage seems to shed light on a peculiar alignment in the ongoing saga of Lindsay Shiver, who stands accused of plotting the murder of her estranged husband, Robert Shiver. The footage shows Lindsay’s mother-in-law, Robin Shiver, apparently siding with her and her estranged husband less than three months before the alleged murder-for-hire plot unfolded.
The incident in question took place on April 30, when Robin Shiver, the mother of Lindsay’s husband, dialed 911 in distress, alleging that Lindsay was harassing her. The bodycam video captures Robin’s conversation with a deputy from the Thomas County Sheriff’s Office. She expresses concern about Lindsay’s mental state and claims that she, along with Lindsay’s husband and herself, all urged Lindsay to seek help for what they believe is her delusional behavior.
The footage further reveals Robin Shiver seated in her car, accompanied by her husband, Allen Shiver, the former CEO of the bakery giant Flowers Foods. The couple appears to discuss Lindsay’s alleged threats and possession of a pistol.
Weeks later, on July 21, Lindsay Shiver found herself arrested in the Bahamas alongside her lover, Terrance Bethel, and an accused hitman named Faron Newbold Jr. They faced charges related to a conspiracy to murder Robert Shiver. The bodycam videos, spanning 16 minutes and obtained through a public records request by Fox News Digital, provide a closer glimpse into the events leading up to this shocking development.
In the footage, Robin Shiver voices her concerns about Lindsay’s actions during the time when Lindsay was in the Bahamas and Robert had custody of their children. She accuses Lindsay of being on drugs and details a menacing text that Lindsay’s mother apparently received.
The video captures a moment when Robin hands her phone to the deputy, allowing Lindsay’s mother to relay her concerns about a threatening message she received from her daughter. The deputy deems this a civil matter and notes that the agreement between Lindsay’s mother and her is consistent, hinting at the credibility of their claims.
The footage also features Lindsay explaining her side of the story to another responding officer. She recounts that her husband was supposed to return their children after a visit to her mother’s house but failed to do so. Lindsay was worried that her husband might be taking the children to his parents’ house without her consent.
Despite their ongoing contentious divorce proceedings, the couple continued to live together in an 8,000-square-foot mansion, a situation that Lindsay ironically refers to as a “lovely situation.”
In the midst of these conflicts, Lindsay filed a motion on May 2 to hold her husband in contempt over the incident. In this filing, she claimed that Robert had taken their children out of town and refused to return them to their shared residence until law enforcement intervened.
Their divorce case is marked by accusations of infidelity, domestic violence, and control over finances and assets. The bodycam footage provides a glimpse into the complexities of their troubled relationship, highlighting the tensions that ultimately led to the alleged murder-for-hire plot.
As Lindsay and her alleged accomplices await trial in the Bahamas, this newly revealed footage offers a window into the dynamics of a case that has captured public attention.
