Laurie Shaver pretended to be the man she’d murdered to cover up the horrific and bloody crime she later blamed on their young daughter in a crime that shocked locals and the entire court room
Laurie Shaver murdered her husband, Michael, in 2015, shooting him in the back of the head and burying his body under a concrete slab in their backyard. She then spun a web of deceit, pretending Michael had left her and their daughter to start a new life, leading friends and family to believe he had simply disappeared. Shaver even went as far as having Michael impersonate a text message response to messages from his loved ones. Ultimately, evidence led police to uncover Michael's remains and Shaver's scheme was exposed.
The main conceptual idea is a case of domestic violence and deception, where a wife murdered her husband and then carefully crafted a false narrative to cover up her crime, even going to lengths to implicate their young daughter.
