Clear & Convincing - Ep. 48 - Florida v. Dorice Donegan Moore w/Merissa Green

On April 6, 2009, Abraham Shakespeare, a 2006 Florida lottery winner, used his phone for the last time and disappeared.  Dorice Donegan Moore, his financial adviser, had recently purchased all of Shakespeare’s assets, including his house, and drained the last of his cash lottery winnings, which was just over a million dollars.  Dee Dee offered different stories and gave conflicting accounts of Shakespeare’s whereabouts and reasons for leaving to friends and family, who also received suspicious text messages from a man who was functionally illiterate.  With the help of an informant who conned the con, investigators were able to build a case against Moore and in January, 2010, they recovered the weapon used to kill Abraham and located his body buried behind a house purchased by Moore and titled in her boyfriend’s name.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, February 3, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of Shakespeare’s disappearance, the case against Moore, her trial, direct appeal and state post-conviction claims.  We’ll be joined by Merissa Green, a retired journalist from Central Florida, who has been featured on national TV for her investigation of the Abraham Shakespeare murder case.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.
