FL - Abraham Shakespeare, 42, lottery winner, Polk County, 7 April 2009 #6

[blue mermaid]

100% premeditated. The backhoe says it all to me. Abraham started asking questions about that trust and DDM had to do something. IMO.

2009 March

Shakespeare approached Haggins about concerns regarding Moore and his money. Around the same time, Moore told Haggins not to let Shakespeare go to the bank because some of the money was not there.

2009 by the beginning of April

Bank records and public records reveal that Moore was in virtually complete control of all Shakespeare's assets and accounts. Further, Shakespeare had not received payment for those assets as agreed.

2009 April 3

Shakespeare signed a Power of Attorney designating Haggins as his POA. Haggins and Shakespeare were present, according to Haggins. This was the last time Haggins saw Shakespeare alive.

2009 April 3

Moore purchased a Case Backhoe at a Lakeland Auction. Moore paid her ex-husband James Moore approximately $100 to pick up the backhoe and deliver it to her property on highway 60.

2009 April, 1st week

Shakespeare was last seen alive in the Lakeland, Florida area by Courtney Daniels. Daniels had known Shakespeare for several years and periodically lived with him.

2009 April 6

Shakespeare and Moore had plans to meet Haggins at the Hardrock Casino in Tampa. Shakespeare and Moore never arrived at the Hardrock. Shakespeare’s cellular telephone usage drastically changes.

2009 April 7

Haggins received a phone call around 2 am from Moore, who began a long, elaborate scheme to make it seem Shakespeare was alive.

2009 April 13

30' x 30' concrete slab poured at 5802 Hwy. 60 East

2009 Early April

Moore called Sentorria Butler and told her Abraham left his Ford 500 for Butler and it was at Moore's house. Moore took Butler to pick the car up.

In putting that "door" into play. From what I understand, Shar has a degree of some sort in architecture or renovation or something of that. He just about completely renovated/remodeled 5732 Hwy 60 per(DDM's "to-do" list). JM was notified to dig a hole to bury left over junk, DDM claiming an inspection was coming up and all the "trash" had to be gone. That was where, I was told JM came in, to dig the hole. And as stated by media, a few hours later, DDM called JM to cover the hole.

I am sorry, but if I dug a hole for my ex wife and my ex wife was involved with a missing millionaire, I think I would have thought something was up along time before he came out and said something. Not to blame him, but come on. There is alot of players here that know alot of things. I don't believe for a minute all these people are innocent? They are guilty of not coming forward sooner, when DMoore was on the news lying.

 

[Finally_]

Yes! blue mermaid, you are exactly correct in AS asking JH about where the money is! See I really don't need to even put puzzle pieces together! All of you are pretty awesome!

I too agree, oh so much I agree! This all came up in November 2009. IMO, if I was JM...I'd be saying "Hmm...my ex is being questioned about a missing person...hmm...last seen in April...hmm...I dug a hole around that time...hmm...maybe I should call detectives!"

Dee Dee Moore called James Moore during the first two weeks of April, 2009, and requested that he come to her property at 5802 Highway 60 and utilize the purchased Case backhoe to dig a hole for concrete and trash.

James Moore stated that originally Dee Dee Moore asked the hole to be dug directly behind the rear door of 5732 Highway 60. However, James Moore suggested not to dig there due to the close proximity to the house, therefore Dee Dee Moore pointed out the location behind 5802 Highway 60 and directed him where to dig as well as how large of a hole.

James Moore stated that he left after digging the hole. He was called by Dee Dee Moore 1 to 2 hours later to fill the hole in. James Moore stated it was getting dark and he did not see a body in the hole, but rather assumed it was chunks of concrete due to there being a lack of light and having dug previous holes on her property before.

Oh, but we so appreciate you being here and assisting! : )

 

[Finally_]

Correct! And yet still, in disgust, you would not believe all the "TRUE TRASH" that was buried with AS.

 

[blue mermaid]

The problem I have with the ex's story is: Why did he leave?

Wouldn't have he used the backhoe to push the stuff (renovation debris) in the hole?

And if there wasn't much stuff to bury, wouldn't he have thought that odd?

From the criminal affidavit: Big snip
"On January 28, 2010, Detective Thomas of the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office and Detective Wallace ofthe Polk County Sheriffs Office conducted an interview with Dee Dee Moore's ex-husband, James Moore. Mr. Moore stated that Dee Dee Moore asked him to recommend the type of equipment to clear her land at 5802 Hwy. 60 Plant City, Florida. He suggested a tractor with attachments, however she purchased a Case Backhoe on April 3, 2009 at a Lakeland Auction. Dee Dee Moore paid James Moore approximately $100 to pick-up the backhoe and deliver the same to her property on highway 60, utilizing his family's flat bed trailer. Dee Dee Moore called James Moore during the first two weeks of April, 2009, and requested that he come to her property at 5802 Highway 60 and utilize the purchased Case backhoe to dig a hole for concrete and trash."
I just noticed that this backhoe was purchased on 4/3/09. The police had said that Abraham had died sometime between 4/6 - 4/7/09. If that is true, does anybody else see premediatation in her purchase 3-4 days prior to his death? It also makes me go back to page 1 of the affidavit where they state that the offense date was 4/1/09.
I see one of 3 possibilities here. People's memories about dates are not always correct as time goes on. Either people are wrong about the last time they saw him and he was killed prior to 4/3/09 when she bought the backhoe and she needed a way to dig a hole and bury his body, OR she knew on 4/3/09 she was going to kill him so she bought the backhoe to have it ready for when she did OR she bought the backhoe on 4/3/09 just as a random purchase to bury some trash and, oh, my, didn't it come in handy 3 days later.
So, which door is the true answer behind for when and why Dorice Moore bought that backhoe? Door 1: Premeditated murder and he died between 4/6-4/7; Door 2: he was already dead by 4/3/09 and she needed to bury his body and the criminal affidavit date of offense of 4/1/09 is correct, or Door 3: What a lucky coincidence I just happen to have a backhoe handy when a person is murdered on my property?
What do you think?
Also, to my recollection from what the media had said at the time, but I believe I remember it mentioned, James Moore came forward to the police when he saw on TV that there was a crime scene at the address he had dug the hole at and showed the police where he dug the hole and cooperated with the police during their search. He is listed as a witness in this case, not as a conspirator.
I can not imagine of how badly he must feel to have to deal with his wife (they were not divorced until 6/09) involving him in this mess, finding out after the fact that he had buried a human being, his now ex-wife blaming their own son for the murder, and a person that he shared part of his life with and had a child with now being charged with first degree murder. It is not how you expect it to end up when you say, "I do."[/QUOTE]

BBM
I want to add, that they had been separated quite a long time prior to the divorce being finalized. I want to say someone (a poster, or possibly it was in a news article) indicated Shar & DDM were an item in 2007. I know for a fact they were separated at the beginning of 2007 or end of 2006.

I understand all that, but wouldn't there be red flags for you when the millionaire was missing and your ex wife was on tv trying to convince people that he wanted to leave cuz people were bugging him for money? I know that would make me think twice.

 

[blue mermaid]

Yes, there have been several things pointing to DDM and Shar being together or knowing each other very well since 2007.

That's all I am getting at. Wouldn't he have put 2 n 2 together?

Yes, for me, there would be red flags. : )

Especially after the multiple purchases of homes, cars, etc.

 

[Finally_]

tigergal71, yes you read about the 2006-2007 seperation of JM and DDM in a post by the guitarman guy, probably. Anyways, yes they were seperated a few years. DDM and Shar were together for at least 2 years.

 

[tigergal71]

I understand all that, but wouldn't there be red flags for you when the millionaire was missing and your ex wife was on tv trying to convince people that he wanted to leave cuz people were bugging him for money? I know that would make me think twice.

She was only on TV just prior to her arrest (that I saw...someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and it was after the body was found. Therefore, after JM came forward to tell what he knew.

 

[Finally_]

tigergal71 I can't account for all the interviews/etc that were publicized long before they found AS. It hit media back in November, right along with all her publicized "poor me" and "absolutely not's". there are all kinds of links on different people's post you'll have to look back, but alot on on the ledger and action news 10's websites.

 

[blue mermaid]

I'm certain there was another interview with reporters that aired prior. The other "wha, wha, wha, poor pitiful me... " one where she's talking about cooperating and the house being luminoled.

 

[Kenon]

Correct me if I am wrong also, but there was an audio of her. Her video of her questioning AS. Alot of stuff of her in the Ledger. Yeah all the me,me,me,me,me articles.

I believe this link will give you alot of information on things that have occurred in her interviews/etc. I think this link even has the link when DDM video taped AS asking him about leaving and being tired of everyone asking him for money.
