Abraham Shakespeare won a $30 million jackpot on November 15, 2006. But winning the lottery turned out to be the worst thing that ever happened to him.
After he won, people started taking advantage of him. He even told his brother he would have been better off without the money.
Then, Dorice Donegan Moore came into his life. She tricked him into starting a joint company with her, putting in all of Abraham’s money. But not long after, she took his name off the company and stole all the money for herself.
Moore killed Abraham and buried him in a 9-foot grave in a house she bought with his money. She also transferred all his assets to her own company, American Medical Professionals.
On November 9, 2009, Abraham was reported missing.
To make it seem like Abraham was still alive, Moore sent fake messages to his family. She even paid someone $5,000 to make a phone call to Abraham’s mother, pretending to be him and saying he was okay. But the call was traced back to her, leading to her arrest and the discovery of Abraham’s body.
Moore was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
