The Murder of Abraham Shakespeare
In November of 2006 a man named Abraham Shakespeare won the lottery jackpot worth $31 million. Abraham was known as a generous, kind man who would do anything to help his friends, family or children out. Unfortunately a cold-blooded, manipulative woman by the name of Dee Dee Moore would make the acquaintance of Abraham Shakespeare and swindle him out of his millions. Before long, people stopped hearing from Abraham, and some feared the worst. Was he murdered or simply trying to get away from the pressure of it all?
