Attorneys for a woman accused of killing her husband and burying his remains in her backyard have filed a motion in court after they said a 14-year-old girl has confessed to the crime.

One year after a Clermont woman was arrested in connection with her husband's death, the victim's sister said they are still seeking justice.

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – UPDATE: Laurie Shaver posted bail Thursday night and has since been released from the Lake County jail. Original story below:Four months after her arrest in connection with her husband’s death, Laurie Shaver was granted bond by a Lake County Judge Thursday. She was being held in the Lake County Jail without bail but jail records show her bail was set at $50,000 for the murder charge and $2,000 for the accessory charge. Her friends were told Michael Shaver was stalking her. Authorities have not said how Michael Shaver died and his manner of death was redacted from the arrest affidavit.

Remains were found in March 2018 buried under a concrete slab and fire pit on Laurie Shaver’s property on Sandy Pines Road. Several months later, authorities positively identified the remains as Michael Shaver, her husband. Lake County deputies spoke to Laurie Shaver in early 2018 and she said she hadn’t seen him since 2015. Those friends and co-workers found this odd and did not think Michael Shaver would leave his children, according to the arrest affidavit. Laurie told her boyfriend Michael Shaver “wasn’t missing, he was no longer walking this earth," according to the arrest affidavit.
