Drexel Man Confesses to Seven Killings

If his story is true, 33-year-old Michael Lee Shaver is the worst killer in Cass County history! Shaver was arrested on Friday after an attempted car jacking and police standoff. Deputies say he then started talking freely about shooting and killing seven men on his rural property near Drexel. Investigators say that Shaver claims he dismembered the bodies, burned them in his fireplace and scattered the bone fragments. Captain Chuck Stocking of the Cass County Sheriff’s Department, the lead investigator in the case, says so far remains from two victims have been found, but that’s only a start. Investigators are excavating the property by hand. Shaver says he killed his victims starting in 2001, taking their illegal drugs and money. For now Shaver has been charged with one count of first degree murder, and armed criminal action. No additional suspects are being sought.
