Wife of former Auburn star Robert Shiver arrested for allegedly hiring hitman to kill him: Reports

Former Auburn football snapper Robert Shiver's wife, Lindsay Shiver, was arrested after allegedly hatching a plot to kill him by hiring a hitman together with her lover in the Caribbean.

Robert's wife, Lindsay, was crowned Miss Houston in 2005, and they met while attending Auburn University together.

According to reports, the police were investigating a totally different case unrelated to Lindsay Shiver when they discovered her plot to kill her husband.

The plot allegedly involved Terrance Bethel, Lindsay's 28-year-old romantic partner, and a supposed hitman called Faron Newbold.

The police were on the tail of a suspected burglar in Grabber's Bar and Grill, located in Great Guana Cay, Bahamas. They searched the phone of the suspect and allegedly found numerous WhatsApp texts detailing the plot to kill Robert Shiver.

Shiver owns a house in the Bahamas, where the incident took place, and had filed for divorce after finding out about his wife's alleged affair with Bethel, whom she met on the island.

After being arrested, Shiver and her co-conspirators were transported to Nassau. They appeared in a Nassau court on Friday, but at that stage of the trial, they were not required to enter a plea.

The case will go back to court on October 5, 2023.

Robert Shiver and Lindsay's Auburn background

Robert Shiver was a long snapper for Auburn from 2006–2008. According to Lindsay Shiver's Instagram account, the couple met during a fitness class when they were at Auburn University together.

The caption to one of her posts states,

“The key to a perfect marriage, is having two imperfect people, who refuse to give up on each other. 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.”

Robert Shiver was signed by the Atlanta Falcons as a free agent after leaving the Auburn Tigers in 2009, although he was cut before the season began. He is currently listed as an executive vice president at an insurance company in Georgia.
