Dorice “Dee Dee” Donegan Moore is charged with first degree murder in the death of lottery winning millionaire Abraham Shakespeare.  She is currently behind bars in the Hillsborough County Jail.  Investigators acted quickly on a lead that Abraham’s body could be buried on the property adjacent to the home where Moore lived.

Abraham Shakespeare was a truck driver’s assistant who hit the $31 million jackpot in the Florida lottery in 2006.  He spent modestly, only purchasing a Nissan Altima, a $1 million home in a gated community and a used Rolex from a pawn shop.  Shakespeare told people he was on a budget and wanted to help the poor.  He often lent money to friend and strangers, and ultimately, just wanted to be happy.  Sadly, Shakespeare hasn’t been seen since April 2009.  His mother told investigators she last spoke to him in February 2009, but he wasn’t reported missing until November 2009.  In speaking with Investigator Wood from the Polk County Sheriff’s office, she has confirmed to me that Dorice Donegan “Dee Dee” Moore is a person of interest in this case.  According to police, Moore is believed to have offered to give away a home worth approximately $200,000 in exchange for the recipient making a false report to law enforcement regarding an alleged recent sighting of Shakespeare.
