    An ex-beauty queen allegedly hired a killer to go after her ex with firm instructions of 'kill him' after they divorced.

    Lindsay Shiver, a 36-year-old former-beauty pageant queen and wife of former college football star Robert Shiver, went from the perfect housewife to a "Bahamas bad girl' and was "living a double life" on the island with her lover, reported The Mirror.

    She was arrested and remains jailed awaiting trial after police discovered an alleged plot to kill her husband.

    Her husband, Robert, filed for divorce after discovering her infidelity with 28-year-old Terrance Adrien Bethel.

    As a result, she is now being accused of hiring alleged hitman Farron Newbold, 29, after investigators discovered a picture of her former husband that had 'kill him' written on it as they looked into a theft at a bar where her lover worked.

    However, a source told the New York Post that Shiver was not serious about the alleged murder and she was only "fantasising" about it amidst a bad divorce.

    The source claimed: "To be honest, I’m sure she fantasised about it as the divorce got nasty and she felt desperate, but it’s just hard to believe she would think she could get away with it. I’m just really sad for those three kids, they’re wonderful."

    But a friend of the family has claimed that the beauty queen was a firecracker who lived a double life and was openly together with her lover.

    They said: "She lived a double life — this Georgia housewife with the lovely kids and the Bahamas bad girl. She got caught up in something really bad. It’s sad."

    Authorities assert that Lindsay, determined to carry out her heinous plan, recruited her lover, Bethel, and allegedly hired Newbold to execute the murder.

    The trio appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley on Friday, where they were remanded to jail without entering a plea.
