LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – An ongoing murder trial in Lake County focuses on Laurie Shaver, 41, who is accused of killing her husband, Michael Shaver, and burying his remains in her backyard.

The following is a timeline of the case, now dating back nearly a decade:

November 2015​

Investigators believe that Michael Shaver was killed sometime between Nov. 7 and Nov. 10, 2015.

Years would pass before law enforcement became involved as it relates to either a missing person or a murder case.

February 2018​

A friend of Michael Shaver requested that the Lake County Sheriff’s Office perform a well-being check, stating neither he nor Michael’s family had seen or heard from him in years. Responding to Laurie Shaver’s Clermont property on Sandy Pines Road, she reportedly told deputies she hadn’t seen Michael since 2015.

After initially permitting investigators to look inside the residence, deputies said that she stopped cooperating and requested an attorney as the search continued outdoors. Michael Shaver had only recently been reported missing.

My bet is that she does not testify. Instead they will tell the abuse tale through the daughter.
