Lindsay Shiver Story: Beauty Queens Alleged Murder-for-Hire Plot | True Crime Podcast [BFTkVqNbdnm]
Listen on Spotify: Listen on Apple: In 2023, a routine burglary investigation in The Bahamas took a shocking turn when authorities stumbled upon a series of WhatsApp messages that appeared to outline a murder-for-hire plot. The target was Robert Shiver, and the alleged mastermind was his estranged wife, 35-year-old former beauty queen Lindsay Shiver. The message that set off a multi-national legal drama was just two words: "Kill him." This case quickly unraveled a story of a picture-perfect life crumbling behind the scenes. From a sprawling $2.5 million home in Thomasville, Georgia, and luxury vacations at the exclusive Bakers Bay Golf & Ocean Club, the Shivers' marriage was a carefully curated image of southern success. But a bitter divorce, allegations of infidelity, and escalating domestic disputes painted a much darker picture. Lindsay's relationship with a Bahamian bartender, Terrance Bethel, and a now-infamous photo of Robert with another woman would become central to a case that reads like a Hollywood script. Join us as we explore the timeline of the Shiver's disintegrating marriage, the discovery of the alleged murder plot, and the complex legal battles that followed. We'll examine the evidence, the key players including Terrance Bethel and Faron Newbold Jr., and the bizarre celebrity crossover involving reality TV star Savannah Chrisley. This is a story of wealth, betrayal, and what happens when a paradise life leads to a prison sentence. 00:00 - Intro: The Picture-Perfect Life Unravels 00:51 - A Murder Plot in Paradise: The Arrest of Lindsay Shiver 01:55 - How an Unrelated Burglary Uncovered a Conspiracy 03:15 - Who is Lindsay Shiver?
