The Lies Beneath
The common theme of all of them would have been, leave me alone. I don't want to have anything to do with you. Just leave me alone. I don't have family.

The Lies Beneath
His activity on Facebook was usually pictures of himself, pictures of friends, pictures about the plane that they would work on. All of that ended and then it started up with various silly memes that were just not in keeping with his personality whatsoever.

The Lies Beneath
We knew he was last seen November 7th and didn't show up to work November 10th. So we believe it happened during those three days that he was killed by Lori.

The Lies Beneath
Was there a period of time where you reached out to Michael Shaver in an attempt to communicate with him?

The Lies Beneath
I think it was very clear that she was willing to do whatever she could to try to protect her mother and avoid her mom going to prison. It also is not consistent at all with any of the physical evidence. Her version of events involved two shots, and there was absolutely no question that there was only one shot in this case, and that was the one to the back of the head.

When he left and moved out, he left his car, correct? He stopped going to work and lost his job because of it, correct?

The day that he showed up in May of 2016, what vehicle did he use to get to your house that day? So he gets walked? When you take what she said happened there that day and then just break it down with, well, if that's true, where was Mike's car? If that's true, when his body is found, why is he dressed like he was in bed sleeping?

She made up this May 2016 story to distract. Jeremy Townsend talked to law enforcement three separate times. evidence that has been presented is not that in May of 2016 Jeremy Townsend shot this man in the back of the head. It's that Lori killed him in November of 2015. Mike is buried in her backyard. She's the one that installs the fire pit and puts the cement slab over his body.
