The couple had a history of violent domestic disturbances. In Sept. 2014, they pulled guns on each other, according to sheriff’s records.
Twice, she filed for protective injunctions against him, then dropped the petitions.
In an interesting twist, court records show that a small claims case was opened against Michael Shaver in November 2016 for $3,088 owed on a credit card.
Records indicate that the card was issued on Aug. 1, 2016, and terminated on Aug. 22 of that year. However, the court paperwork also indicates that he had been a card holder since 2014, so it is not clear if the Aug. 1 date refers to efforts to collect on an earlier balance, or if there was a new card issued on that date.
The paperwork in the court file does not include a signature for Shaver.
The case was dropped when process servers could not find him.
Investigators said they have found no financial activity, or renewal of his pilot’s or driver’s license.
Friends told investigators Michael’s Facebook page has been up and running, but there are no photos of him and suspected someone had been “managing” the social media account.
Laurie said the last time Michael was at the house was when he got out of jail in the domestic violence gun-pointing incident. She said he left with a friend in the friend’s black SUV.
