Georgia woman, alleged lover & hitman arrested in Nassau for plot to kill husband

Thomasville resident Lindsay Shiver is under arrest after Bahamian Police uncovered a plot crafted by her and two men to kill her estranged husband, Robert Shiver.

According to Bahamas Court News, police arrested Shiver, 36, along with her lover Terrance Bethel, 28, of Guana Cay, Abaco and hitman Farron Newbold Jr., 28, of the Bahamas. Bahamian police say they uncovered the plot on July 16, while searching the phone and social media app of a suspected burglar.

A source familiar with the investigation said the Shivers have a home in the Bahamas, where Lindsay first began an affair with Bethel. Upon Robert finding out about the affair, he filed for divorce. That is when Lindsay, Bethel and and Newbold Jr. concocted a plan to murder Robert.

Authorities are currently holding Lindsay, Bethel and Newbold Jr. in jail. They were not required to enter a plea and have to return to court October 5.

Thank you for weighing in! I was confused about jurisdiction issues.

It gets very difficult in international cases for sure. And I know little about Bahamian law. But this was a crime that was to take place IN the Bahamas, so I think their jurisdiction will play, She traveled there frequently. The Bahamians are fighting crime right now like they haven't had to see for a long time. It used to be a very peaceful and safe place, but things changed covid forced them to bring in a lot of workers from around the Caribbean. They are a very conservative country. I think they will (and should) press this case to a conviction. THey just can't allow their nation to be seen as a lawless playground.

Glad to know things are tightening up and they are taking crimes seriously there now.
