So, I was reading some news the other day, you know how it is, just scrolling through things. Came across that wild story about Robert Shiver and the whole situation with his wife down in the Bahamas. Quite the drama. Anyway, as I was reading the details, something struck me – they mentioned his wife’s age, I think, but not his. And I got curious.
It happens sometimes, right? You read about someone, especially in a situation like that, and you start wondering about the basics. How old is this guy? It helps paint a picture, maybe understand the timeline or context a bit better. Just a nagging question I wanted to sort out.
My Little Digging Process
So, I decided to do a quick check. Fired up my computer and popped open a search window.
- First try: Just typed in “Robert Shiver age”. Simple enough, right?
- What I got: A whole mess of news articles about the alleged murder plot. Lots of headlines, lots of speculation, but wading through them didn’t immediately give me a clear age. Saw his wife’s age mentioned again, but not his. Typical.
- Second try: I remembered reading he played football for Auburn. Maybe that would help narrow it down. So, I searched for something like “Robert Shiver Auburn football bio” or “Robert Shiver football career age”.
- Getting warmer: This brought up some different results. Found mentions of his playing days, team rosters, stuff like that. Sports sites sometimes list birthdates or ages in player bios.
Took a bit more clicking around. Had to skim through a couple of older articles and some sports statistics pages. It wasn’t like it was top-secret info, just buried under all the recent news.
Finding the Number
Finally, I landed on a couple of sources, seemed like old player profiles or maybe a reliable news piece that mentioned his background in more detail. They pointed to him being born back in 1984.
Okay, 1984. Quick mental math… depending on the month, that puts him around 39 or 40 years old around the time all this stuff hit the news in 2023. Felt good to figure that out. Just one of those little details that bugs you until you find the answer. Closed that loop in my head. It wasn’t rocket science, just required a little persistence past the initial noisy search results. Anyway, that was my little fact-finding mission for the day.
