Ex-NFL Player’s Wife Texts ‘Kill Him’ to Boyfriend, Who Claims it Was Figure of Speech

Athena boyfriend of a Georgia woman accused of plotting to kill her former Atlanta Falcons player husband says it’s all a misunderstanding.

“Kill him,” a July 2023 message reportedly stated, which police claim Lindsay Shiver directed at her husband, Robert Shiver, People Magazine reports.

Bahamian authorities have accused Lindsay Shiver of sending a text to her boyfriend, Terrance Bethel, and friend Farron Newbold Jr. The message allegedly included a photo of her husband with another woman and was linked to a murder-for-hire plot targeting Robert, with whom Lindsay has three children.

Although Robert was unharmed, Lindsay was arrested in the Bahamas days later, in July 2023. She, Bethel, and Newbold are all facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and have entered pleas of not guilty.

Bethel told Good Morning America, that the message had been a misunderstanding and that “kill him” was a figure of speech.

“Whenever she gets into an argument with [Robert] and she tells me about it, of course I’m livid about it,” Bethel stated. “But planning to murder him? No.”

“Nobody ever wanted Robert dead. I’m definitely not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, and [Farron] is not guilty of being a hired hitman. It’s time to let the world know that we’re innocent.”

As CrimeOnline previously reported, the alleged murder plot was exposed after a break-in at a bar where Bethel worked. While investigating the incident, police seized Bethel’s phone and saw messages to and from Bethel that implicated him, Shiver, and Newbold.

Robert and Lindsay began a contentious divorce before the alleged murder plot, continuing to live together with their sons in Thomasville, Georgia, while also maintaining a vacation home in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas.

The couple met in 2007 at Auburn University, where Robert played football and Lindsay cheered. They married in 2010.

On April 5, 2023, Robert filed for divorce, accusing Lindsay of “adulterous conduct.” Lindsay countered with accusations of cruel treatment and claimed her extramarital relationship started during a separation.

The situation escalated on July 16, 2023, when Robert planned to fly his three sons to their vacation home in the Bahamas on the family’s private jet. Lindsay intended to accompany them to meet Bethel, but Robert told her she could not. After a disagreement in which Lindsay claimed Robert was “aggressive,” she called 911.

“I told her, I’m not supporting that,” Robert told police outside of his Georgia residence.“You’re not getting on the airplane. That can mess with the kids’ heads. It’s just something we’re not going to do.”

Lindsay Shriver”s trial is scheduled for August. Check back for updates.
