AUTHORITIES IN THE BAHAMAS CLAIM AN AMERICAN VISITOR IN THE MIDST OF A BAD DIVORCE MADE VIOLENT PLANS TO END HER MARRIAGE

Packing bags and getting out the door for a family vacation can lead to tension—but the scene that unfolded when Lindsay Shiver called 911 over a dispute she was having with her husband, Robert, as they prepared to travel to the Bahamas with their three boys in the summer of 2023 was far more heated. Lindsay, 38, told responding officers, “It’s been hell on earth, as you can imagine.” In the midst of an acrimonious divorce, she claimed Robert, 39, had become “aggressive” and forbidden her to get on the family’s private jet because she was planning to spend time in the Bahamas with her new boyfriend. “I told her, I’m not supporting that,” Robert says in police body-cam video of the incident outside their house in Thomasville, Ga. “You're not getting on the airplane. That can mess with the kids’ heads. It’s just some-thing we're not going to do.”
