A Florida woman who was accused of killing her husband, burying his body under a fire pit in their yard and then impersonating him on social media, has been convicted of murdering him.

Deputies responded to the Shavers’ house on Sandy Pines Road in Clermont, and met with Laurie, who said she hadn’t seen her husband since 2015, police said in a release.
