Beauty queen in Bahamas murder-for-hire plot seeks removal of ankle monitor: ‘It’s causing pain’

Lindsay Shiver, 39, the former Georgia beauty queen accused of hiring a hitman to kill her estranged husband, a former NFL player, is now requesting the courts to remove her ankle monitor so she can restart her modeling career.

Shiver has worn the GPS anklet tracker for more than two years while awaiting trial for allegedly plotting the murder of ex-husband Robert Shiver, a former player for the Atlanta Falcons, in July 2023.

According to the Daily Mail, in a recent court filing in Nassau, Shiver claimed the ankle bracelet has caused bruising, sores, sleep disruption and emotional distress for her children. She said it has also prevented her from accepting job offers in modeling and influencer work.

She also complained that the device cannot get wet, preventing her from visiting the beach, and said she is forced to conceal it in public to avoid embarrassing her three sons.

Shiver is scheduled to stand trial in March 2026 on charges that she conspired with her alleged lover, Adrien Bethel, a 30-year-old barman, to have her husband killed. In a WhatsApp message to Bethel, showing a picture of her husband, she texted, “Kill him.”

She is currently living with her parents on a ranch in Abbeville, Alabama, after previously receiving permission to leave The Bahamas.

She is seeking to return to Thomasville, Georgia where she and her husband once shared a $3 million home, to be closer to her children and earn income to help pay her mounting legal expenses.

Her request will be heard in the Supreme Court on December 8.

The American woman, Lindsay Shiver, whose plans were foiled in her alleged attempt to kill her husband while in the Bahamas was released on $100,000 bail on Wednesday.

She was reunited with her young lover Terrence Bethel, 28, who arrived at court with friend Faron Newbold, 29, both freed on $20,000 bail last week.

Bahamian police intercepted their plans while rummaging through Whatsapp text messages telling Newbold to “Kill Him” along with a picture of her husband Robert, whose family owns property in Baker’s Bay and regularly vacations on the island.

Shiver paid her bail money in cash and gave the court copies of a lease agreement for a residence to stay in the Bahamas while awaiting trial, according to the Daily Mail.

Represented by Ian Cargill, she surrendered her passport to a US Embassy official during the proceeding presided over by Judge Cheryl Grant-Thompson.

Shiver will report to a police station three times a week, adhere to an 8 pm to 6 am curfew, and cannot go within 100 feet of her husband.

Shiver left the court outfitted with a GPS ankle bracelet and drove off in a waiting Mercedes.

On Tuesday, she appeared at the court requesting bail but was ordered to return on Wednesday when she was finally granted it.

Lover Bethel told the Daily Mail, the messages were just casual talk and that neither Newbold nor Shiver were serious about the alleged act.

“Go and get the transcripts from the police. They have had both of my phones for three weeks. They’ve been through every single message – there’s nothing there.

“None of us have anything to hide. People are taking everything at face value and defaming us.”
