Dorice A £20million American lottery winner who has been missing for nine months was recently found buried under a concrete slab, the apparent victim of a callous shooting.  Abraham Shakespeare went missing without trace last year but family did not report him missing immediately because they believed he had gone on a jaunt to the Caribbean.  A tropical destination was sadly not where Mr Shakespeare ended up, instead his badly decomposed remains were found under the slab in the grounds of a home belonging to a boyfriend of a close female friend.

Lottery jackpot did not bring victim happiness

Mr Shakespeare’s big lottery win had sadly not found him happiness and he had often lamented on how miserable he was to his brother Robert Brown, saying on many occasions that 'I'd have been better off broke.' Mr Shakespeare has been happy to share his good fortune with others and had lived the lottery lifestyle by buying a large expensive house.  None of this however made the ex-assistant trucker happy.   Mr Shakespeare aged 47, was not well educated and also had been in trouble with the police prior to his big lottery win.

Woman accused of murder was financial advisor to deceased

Dorice "DeeDee" Moore has been charged in connection with the shooting of Abraham Shakespeare.  The 37 year old suspect was the financial advisor to the dead lottery winner, and it has been reported that she had transferred many of the dead man’s assets to her name. Elizabeth Walker, the deceased man’s mother regarded Moore as a friend of the family and has been quoted as saying in connection with her arrest "I can hardly explain how I feel. It really hurts." Moore herself has tried to implicate others in the murder of Mr Shakespeare including a local drug dealer, a local attorney and even her own 14 year old son.  As yet Moore is the only person who has been charged in connection with Mr Shakespeare’s murder.
