Vacation Home of Horror, How a Bahamian Affair Led to a Murder Scheme

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the case of Lindsey Shiver, a former beauty queen from Georgia, who allegedly plotted to kill her husband. Lindsey, who seemed to have an idyllic life with her former Auburn University football player husband, is accused of conspiring with her boyfriend and a hitman to murder her spouse. The case, which will be tried in the Bahamas, raises questions about the extent of Lindsey's culpability, given her text messages and the actions she took to facilitate the alleged plot. Faddis explains the complexities of proving such a case, especially when initial actions are more suggestive than definitive. He also touches on the broader implications of complicity in criminal law and the challenges of defending or prosecuting a case with substantial circumstantial evidence. The conversation highlights the human and legal dimensions of a case that seemingly defies common sense, with Faddis emphasizing how narcissistic tendencies can distort one's perception of reality, leading to actions that others find incomprehensible.
