Abraham Shakespeare, Missing Florida Lottery Winner, May Be Dead
Friday, Jan. 29 2010 @ 10:59AM
UPDATE: Police may have found the body of Abraham Shakespeare buried behind a home in Plant City, Florida. Though they're awaiting an official ID, the home is used as an office for a lawyer linked to Shakespeare and the chief suspect in his disappearance. See update after the jump...
Last month, we told you about the disappearance of Abraham Shakespeare. In 2006, he was a truck driver making $8 an hour and still living with his mom when he won $31 million in the Florida Lottery. But life as a rich man didn't go so well.
Relatives say he was constantly hounded for money by friends. And though he made a few modest purchases of his own -- a Nissan Altima, a pawn shop Rolex, a $1 million home in a gated community -- he also seemed to be generous in his giving.
But it wasn't long before he met Dee Dee Moore, who claimed she wanted to write about book about him. We're not sure about her literary cred, but she does have something of a criminal pedigree. In 2001, she claimed she was raped and carjacked. Unfortunately for her, detectives later discovered she fabricated the story to get her insurer to reimburse her for her allegedly stolen SUV.
Abraham Shakespeare was last seen in April. The $16 million he pocketed is all but gone.
Moore became Shakespeare's financial adviser, but most of her advice seemed to involve funneling money to her. Last year, she bought Shakespeare's million-dollar shack for just $655,000. The steep discount may have been due to the dying Florida real estate market. Then again, it wasn't like the leisurely lottery winner was forced to sell in a down market because he had pressing matters elsewhere.
Shakespeare was last seen in April. Police were uncertain if he fled the country to get away from the moochers, or if something more sinister was afloat. These days, they're siding more with the sinister angle.
Shakespeare took his lottery winnings in a lump sum -- $16 million -- instead of opting for annual payments. The sheriff in Lakeland, Florida says that money is now gone. And since Shakespeare didn't call his mother at Christmas, police are assuming the worst. ''We're working this case as if it were a homicide,'' Sheriff Grady Judd told the Associated Press.
Their scrutiny appears centered on Moore. She claims she helped Shakespeare disappear to get away from the moochers. But now that cops are searching her home and car for signs of blood, she's begging for Shakespeare to reappear. Perhaps only she knows if that will ever happen.
UPDATE: A body found buried behind a home office in Plant City, Florida may be that of missing Florida lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare.
A body found behind the home office of DeeDee Moore's boyfriend may be that of missing lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare
The body was found yesterday buried behind the office of Howard Stitzel, a lawyer with connections to both Shakespeare and DeeDee Moore, the prime suspect in his disappearance. Shakespeare hasn't been seen since April, and Moore has become the primary suspect after taking over his financial matters and transferring $1 million of his money into her own account. Shakespeare could neither read nor write, which would make him easily manipulated in fiscal documents.
Stitzel is reportedly Moore's boyfriend.
Sheriff Grady Judd also claims Moore has tried to pay people to say they've seen Shakespeare since he disappeared, according to The Ledger newspaper in Lakeland.
Sentorria Butler, the mother of Shakespeare's 1-year-old son, says Moore tried to buy her favor in September, moving her into a rented home and buying her a used car. But Butler believes the sudden interest was cover so Moore could show she was still acting on Shakespeare's behalf.
Moore also wanted Butler to call Shakespeare's mother and say she had seen him recently. That's when she decided to call the cops instead.
Sheriff Judd says Moore made calls and sent texts from Shakespeare's cell phone in an attempt to make it seem that he was still alive and calling people. How an illiterate man was supposed to send text messages, we're not sure.
But it looks like this ill-conceived plot will soon be coming to an end. It's not easy to explain how a missing body came to be buried in your boyfriend's back yard.

This is one of the saddest stories. This guy looks like he'd be the nicest person and finally catches a break and these degenerates get a hold of him. What's wrong with people?
Posted 01/06/2010 at 07:25:05 PMI agree with you rocki. It seems that everytime someone gets some money, either through the lottery or fame, the distant relatives and friends come out of the woodwork like cockroaches feeding on candy. It's very sad. I hope and pray that he was able to just run away. People can be so wicked. Someone should have stood up for this guy and helped him to be a little more selfish with his money instead of being so generous with it.
Posted 01/06/2010 at 07:59:19 PMhumm..where the hecks his money?..whats with his bank accounts?whos getting those monthly checks from him?..he might be dead and it might not be anyones fought but his own. How come no ones mentioned this before now, all these months and no ones had contact?..Theres always a paper trail, hello you cant catch a flight without ID, cant get money out of a bank without an ID..cant get millions without ID..
Posted 01/06/2010 at 08:30:58 PMdidnt he get his money then he went ghost????
Posted 01/06/2010 at 09:21:27 PMhe could change his name u know...people do that.
See, this is why you can't tell people anything like this. This is horrible. I truly believe that woman had him killed when things "didn't go so well" in her favor. She probably told others that if this guy doesn't do this, then we'll do that, or something really messed up. One hits the lottery, one should claim it through a trust and not tell anybody anything. I know because I'm gearing up for when I win! It sounds like he was close with his mother and not to contact her is just awful. This is awful. Friggin' greed!
Posted 01/06/2010 at 10:15:10 PMThe cops should look for the rolex and other jewlery he may have purchased in pawn shops.
Posted 01/07/2010 at 07:21:20 AMAwww poor guy I feel really sad about this story... I just hope if someone did murder him for the money will get punished by god.
Posted 01/07/2010 at 07:56:34 AMI know if I won money like that, I'd help IMMEDIATE family only, cause some of my friends have big mouths! & I'd take my son, & go in hiding too...If this is his case! Hopefully this is just a stint to make the moochers think he's dead! I'd do the same now that I think of it!!!

Just let me get at that chubby blonde, Dee Dee. I will fuck her fat ass until she screams the truth.
Posted 01/15/2010 at 03:06:50 PMThis woman is a con artist,I have a friend that she rob of a lot of money.She is like a black widow,with all the info they have on her why is she still walking the streets.If he did left the country the airlines have records on passengers.The only reason she is making a fool of the cops is because she is a white woman ,if it was a black woman she would be locked up by now.This is a dangerous person that should be off the streets of lakeland.She is out there looking for another pray.How is she living with herself I think she did this kind of thing before and was never caught,I met him he was a nice person,she is like a Buzzer.
Posted 01/16/2010 at 02:15:02 AMada, r u for real. There always has to be someone who makes it about race.
Posted 01/18/2010 at 06:16:41 PMthere are plenty of crooks dee hangs with that are black, why aren't they locked up. check out websleuths, start at the begining http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92288&highlight=abraham+shakespeare.
stop being pathetic.
Where is the other 10 or 12 million dollars? Since Abraham is or was illiterate, how is it that he can text via cell phone. All who read this comment consider this: why is this woman and the lawyer still walking around free? hmmmmmm, I understand they have a lot of money to make a deal with. The FBI, Justice department and IRS should be in this investigation investigating all bank accounts including the friends and relatives of the present investigators
Posted 01/29/2010 at 01:52:22 PMMel, what are u a damn fool? "it might be his own fault why he is dead" you're an ass to say that...and the person that says this is not about race is also out on a limb..is that why she happens just to be hanging around black folks that are not that educated..wake up...Can't u see that white trash is the scum of the earth...how ironic that she just cares about this black family...black people u r too trusting with white folks , do they let us in that easily...Moman that would not matter to her maybe that's what she wasn't getting.Hey Lynn well said in you comments..and oh if she is tried by her peers I wouldn't be surprise if she gets away free.......
Posted 01/29/2010 at 02:46:11 PMYes, it is the saddest story I have ever heard. May he rest in peace and may the the criminals be caught and pay for the unthinkable crime. I am so sad to read about this.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 05:11:31 PMIt's sad that a woman like this Dee Dee Moore can still be allowed to walk the streets after committing the most obvious of crimes. The police department must be made up of pure idiots, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what transpired. Dee Dee Moore after becoming aware of Mr. Shakespere's fortune decided to quickly befriend him and gain control of his money, and if it meant killing him to do it, so be it. Ms. Moore definitely had help in doing this, more than likely it was her now boyfriend. This woman is a leech and she should be brought to justice. I hope the punishment is harsh and Ms. Moore and her boyfriend are given the death penalty. Because if ever a crime is deserving of the death penalty, this crime cries out for it.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 06:13:18 PMHow terrible to here this story. I think the lawyer and the so called financial advisor killed this man and buried him in the backyard... These are the kind of people the prisons are really made for.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 06:23:15 PMFace it. It's his body in the backyard. She is a career con artist. That's how she is still free for now. But the hand of God and justice will be touching her real soon. Even illiterate people get fed up with being taken advantage of, I'm guessing he caught on to her and she had him killed. BTW: He was a trucker, he could read maps and follow directions. He wasn't dumb, just not bright enough to make the right decisions. Sad, she should rot.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 06:37:52 PMIts definitely a case of SHE"S WHITE and/or well connected and people are scared too touch her until they have a DEFINITE connection. However, maybe the warrant judge is saying its all circumstantial evidence, they have to have something directly connected to her and his murder. But her lies and attempting to be him texting are all blatant signs that she's trying to hide something.
What a powerful name he had Abraham. Its really sad. I hate it for his son. I am so glad that "So a man seweth, so shall he wreap."
Posted 01/29/2010 at 06:52:42 PMMoore, can you say busted. Oh don't forget your boyfriend too. The greed pick on the innocent. bad karma for both of you.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 07:52:10 PMI feel so sad for him and his family,but I have heard this so many times from black men,when I get some money Im gonna get me a white woman,I can remember this from child hood,and I allways wondered when I was a child why they had to wait until they get some money to get a white woman? you cant't buy love,that Is something that can never be bought and respect,both have to be earned,no matter how much money you have.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 10:17:49 PMI hope someone has the good sense to preserve the remaining money for his child. I hope if Moore and her sleazy boyfriend are truly guilty, they get the highest penalty allowed by the law. This story totally disgusted me.
Posted 01/29/2010 at 10:22:27 PMPoor guy.
Rest In Peace, Abraham.
Posted 01/30/2010 at 06:16:09 AMAwww too bad I was really hoping he left the country to get some peace. I can't believe what people do just for money. This guy looked so nice and probably deserved this money sent from god. R.I.P
Posted 01/30/2010 at 08:05:27 AMOkay -- I feel sorry for the guy too, but let's hold the tears. Why the hell is a guy with $17 million dollars in a child-support dispute with them other of his child anyway? If you read further, there's a quote from his son's mother that says he hasn't given one red cent to his son -- yet he's bought himself a new house, a new car, and apparently was throwing money around like it was going out of style.
Plus -- the guy couldn't read or write? Come on... Of course people are going to take advantage of you. All I can say is, "God save the mark."
Posted 01/30/2010 at 11:50:26 AMI agree with most of you, Doris DeeDee Moore, is guilty 100%. And Gaggy if you read clearly the child is only 1 yr old and Mr Shakespear has been missing for 8 mos. This means for a majority of the child's life heis father was dead. Meaning he wasn't capable of making child support payments. Once again he was DEAD for 8 out of 12 mos the child was alive. So the case was based on the alledged fact Mr. Shakespear was alive but not willing to pay. My goodness people are always so quick to believe the negative. Or in your Case GABBY inventing the negative. Shame on you slandering a dead mans name. GOD BLESS the DEAD. I'll keep you and your loved ones in my heart Mr. Shakespear.

Posted 01/30/2010 at 04:52:07 PMWhat you people didn't read - the might have found his body..
so why look elsewhere like people find etc?
some people are f'n idiots!
Posted 01/30/2010 at 04:55:53 PMGraham, the body has officially been identified at this point. It was yesterday, but this site doesn't update on weekends.
You're right, though; some people are f'n idiots, and you're likely one of them.
Posted 01/31/2010 at 01:49:51 PMThis poor guy did'nt stand a chance I did;nt realize in the future article's that he could'nt read or right poor guy. He was probably so easy to manipulate and disguise it as helping. Obviously though the crooks in question were'nt much brighter moving amounts of money like that from his winning's I am glad they were dumb enouph to get caught. Such a shame this poor fellow did'nt get to spend his own good luck for once.
Posted 01/31/2010 at 02:45:36 PMAND B4 U ALL START IT I KNOW IT'S SPELLED WRITE NOT RIGHT LOL
Posted 01/31/2010 at 02:46:47 PMCases with far less circumstantial evidence have been prosecuted and won, let alone warrant an arrest. Can anyone honestly say there wouldn't be a difference in treatment and public opinion in this situation if Ms.Dee Dee was a African American or Hispanic woman and/or Mr. Shakespeare was a white man?
Posted 02/01/2010 at 04:04:19 PMI believe that the all Lotto Corporations can make winners safe by not showing lotto winners pictures to the public. If less people had known about his winnings then he might still be alive.
Posted 02/01/2010 at 04:31:38 PMthis is truly sad, but it's reality-white people will kill & sell their own family for a dollar. but after all,i have to blame black people as well,after everything they've done to us, the first thing we do if we get "anything" we RUN to a white person. jessie jackson said it best, "i will NOT fight for reparations, because sure as i'm standing here it will be back in the hands of the white man in a very short time." where were his parents, mother of his child, friends-extended family (trying to get theirs!!!!!!) my nephew was killed by his father (a black man married to a white woman) all because he was getting 1,500.00 p/month-he thought after gerald was gone he'd continue getting it and the million dollars gerald told him he had. the problem was, gerald was a braggart, and mentally retarded and could'nt read and write like that of mr. shakespear. people will use u and take advantage of u at the drop of a hat. i hope and pray ms. moore & gerald crumite of lake city, fl. meet the same fate in HELL!!!!
Posted 02/03/2010 at 12:40:00 AMI'm not going to make this about race or resort to any white trash shout-outs. I've seen the good and bad from both races. I'm from the Midwest and far away from where this happened, but I am truly and deeply saddened for this man -- who had a kind face -- and his family. I am firmly anti-capital punishment, but if I weren't, this woman would be candidate number 1 for me. Come on! ALL the evidence points to her killing someone who had ALREADY GIVEN her $2 million. What kind of twisted bastard is she? Was he not giving his money to her fast enough? I just can't help thinking about his last thoughts and how helpless and used he must have felt as his "biographer" shot, stabbed, poisoned or did whatever to him.
Posted 02/04/2010 at 02:13:01 PMThis sad story has received a lot of media attention recently. It is really a very sad story. This poor guy was just a working stiff until he won the lottery. I have read all the comments and the people that knew Dee Dee Moore should contact law enforcement while they are trying to build the case against this woman.
Posted 02/06/2010 at 04:00:09 PMTo the Readers: This is a tragic story! Justice needs to be done! There are too many people walking around who have either killed, severely handicapped someone and no prison time was doled out. In this instance, the police law enforcement should do everything they can to put all the criminals behind bars for life!
Let's follow this story closely, Readers! And, fax or email the police law officials who are handling this case. Let our voices be heard - justice now!
Posted 02/18/2010 at 09:23:18 AMthe brother should have said to him self, now what does this white bitch want with me? when she diden't even look at me before.never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee.
Posted 02/26/2010 at 10:29:12 AMObviously, a lump sum payment should NOT be an option with some winners. 16 million must have been pretax.
ALL winners are first victimized from deceptive practices utilized by every state lottery, who exhibit less integrity than when games were a neighborhood racket.

If these were black people they would be in jail while they investigated the case, not spending his money that should be going to his child.
Posted 04/06/2010 at 03:13:59 PMGod is going to FRY that stupid bitch MOORE for doing that shit to him. Moore and her sleazy boyfriend Selzter are both going to rot in hell for what they did to that man.
Posted 05/14/2010 at 02:21:51 PMHe couldn't read nor write? That's a shame. Im glad that
his baby mama stuck up for him. They probably would've never found him. What a shame. Moore and her boyfriend should get the death penalty for what they did to him or at best be deported out of this country and sent somewhere so their heads would be cut-off. That's what they deserve. No apology in the world can makeup for they did to him. The man could not even read? Its easy enough to manipulate a lottery winner whom isn't a financial genius, let alone a million whose illiterate. Wow. This will stay with me for a long time. Moore is a demon and if I had to chance I would pull the trigger to execute her if I were on her firing squad or maybe we should all let the Taliban CUT both her and that insect boyfriend of hers Seltzer's FUCKIN' HEADS OFF and put it on the internet and let the family of Abraham Shakespeare WATCH FIRST!!!
