Laurie Shaver was guilty of second-degree murder with a firearm in murdering her husband Michael Shaver, 33, whose body was found under a fire pit in their yard. Michael Shaver was last seen on November 15, 2015. In February 2018, a friend asked police to check on Michael then on March 9, 2018, investigators who had a search warrant, cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar, found Michael's body buried underneath a concrete slab and a fire pit that Laurie had allegedly placed there to cover up the burial spot on the couple's five-acre property. An autopsy showed Michael had been shot once in the back of the head with a .38 caliber handgun. Laurie Shaver was charged with second-degree murder, domestic violence and accessory after the fact. However, she is claimed that it was the couple's then 7-year-old daughter who fatally shot the Disney World worker. The daughter testified to shooting her father to protect her mother.
