Disney worker Michael Shaver, 36, of Clermont, Florida, has not been seen since 2015. He was first reported missing last month
Investigators dug up human remains from the backyard of a Disney World worker who was reported missing in mid-February.
Family and friends to Michael Shaver, 36, of Clermont, Florida, say they haven’t seen or heard from since 2015, and had only informed police about his disappearance last month.
On February 16, Shaver’s wife, Laurie, 35, allowed investigators to initially search the couple’s property.
During the search, Lake County Police noticed fresh concrete near the fire pit in the backyard.
They asked Laurie if they could bring a cadaver dog to search the area.
Laurie became uncooperative at that point, however, police returned later with a warrant to further conduct the search.
‘Upon speaking to her fora few minutes the conversation ended up making its way outside the home at which time she stopped being cooperative and she requested her attorney,’ Lieutenant John Herrell said in a press release.

According to The Orlando Sentinel, investigators found an arm bone and other human remains along with clothing items this past weekend.
The remains have not yet been positively identified as Michael Shaver’s.
Shaver worked a monorail mechanic at Walt Disney World, his family said, according to the newspaper.

Herrell called the missing persons case ‘suspicious’ and ‘mysterious’, while Shaver’s sister, Stacie Shaver, told police the family didn’t report him missing right away because they believed they could locate Michael without their help.
Most of the missing mechanic’s family members reside in New York.
Neighbors told police during questioning they also hadn’t seen him in years, and remembered him as a ‘quiet’ but ‘nice’ man who cared deeply for his kids, according to Fox 13.
‘Hoping that someone will hear this story and maybe know something and come forward with some information we can use going forward,’ Herrell added.
