Aliza Sherman was stabbed more than 10 times outside of the attorney’s office in downtown Cleveland
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations took on Sherman’s case in 2021, months after NBC’s “Dateline” featured Sherman’s case — speaking with her daughter Jennifer, eight years after the killing.
“The Sherman family has waited over a decade for answers regarding their mother’s homicide,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley said in a statement. “Through the tenacious work of multiple law enforcement agencies, evidence was accumulated that paints the unmistakable picture that Gregory Moore orchestrated and participated in the brutal murder of Aliza Sherman.”
The indictment states that on the Sunday that Sherman was killed, Moore texted her to meet him at his office building at 4:30 p.m. and to let him know when she was leaving.
While Sherman waited outside the building, “Moore or an unnamed conspirator” approached her from behind and stabbed her more than 10 times, leading to her death, according to the indictment.
The indictment alleges Moore texted and called Sherman before and after he allegedly killed her.
“These texts and requests for calls were for the purpose of creating false evidence that Moore was unaware of Sherman’s assault,” the indictment says.
The grand jury’s indictment said Moore killed Sherman to prevent her divorce trial, which was scheduled to start the following day.
The indictment states that at the time of Sherman’s murder, Moore was being investigated for sending bomb threats to the courthouse on the days he had to appear in court to similarly avoid trials. Moore knew he was being investigating for the bomb threats, according to the indictment.
In 2017, Moore pleaded guilty to inducing panic related to the bomb threats and falsification for giving authorities misleading statements during the Sherman investigation.
