Seth Larson was located in West Virginia on June 3, 2021, when he went to a hospital in Weston, West Virginia. Larson informed local police that he was a person of interest in Irondequoit and was apprehended by Lewis County Sheriff’s Department. He was extradited to Monroe County where he was charged with Lisa’s murder
“Seth Larson brutally killed his girlfriend Lisa Shuler, someone he was supposed to love,” said First Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles. “He had no respect for Lisa even after her death, as he dismembered and concealed her body. I want to thank all of the law enforcement agencies who were involved in this investigation, especially the Irondequoit Police Department. It is the hope of the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office that Lisa’s friends and family can find justice in today’s verdict.”
“Lisa Shuler was known for being a positive spirit who uplifted her friends and family every day,” said District Attorney Sandra Doorley. “Seth Larson is a coward who took this kind woman from her loved ones and our entire community. Lisa had many people in her life who loved her when Seth Larson chose to murder her and dismember her body. He showed his true colors as a violent criminal who deserves a life sentence in the New York State Department of Corrections.
