Missing Dad Found Murdered in Backyard 3 Years After Disappearance

The episode provide a comprehensive overview of the criminal investigation and trial of Lori Shaver, who was convicted of the second-degree murder of her ex-husband, Michael Shaver. After Michael vanished in 2015, Lori maintained for years that he had abandoned their family, but his skeletal remains were eventually discovered buried beneath a concrete fire pit in her backyard. During the legal proceedings, the defense presented a controversial narrative claiming that Lori’s young daughter had actually fired the fatal shot to protect her mother from domestic abuse. However, the prosecution successfully argued that Lori systematically deceived others by impersonating Michael on social media and manufacturing a false trail to hide her crime. Ultimately, the jury rejected the defense's theory and found Lori guilty, concluding a decade-long search for justice for the Florida father.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
