Summary

Tucked away in the quiet community of Clermont, Florida, lived a man whose easygoing nature and love for the outdoors made him a friend to many. Michael Shaver was a hardworking father who seemed to juggle his responsibilities with an easy smile, always willing to lend a hand or share a laugh. But in early 2015, Michael’s presence began to fade. Calls went unanswered, visits stopped, and gradually, he seemed to slip out of the daily rhythm of life. Yet the silence surrounding his absence raised far more questions than answers. Tonight, we dive into the story of Michael Shaver—his life, the relationships that defined him, and the unsettling mystery that followed when he vanished.
