[Abraham Shakespeare]Abraham Shakespeare MURDERED - Plant City, Florida (Hillsborough Co.) April 2009
Abraham Shakespeare (42) won $31 million dollars in the Florida Lottery in 2006. He took a lump sum payout of approximately $17 million. He remained a frugal person as he had before his lottery windfall, but after numerous failed real estate transactions, loans, and friendships Abraham has suddenly gone missing. He was last seen in the Lakeland area in April 2009. Dorice Emma Donegan Moore (AKA Dee Dee Moore) stated in the media that she bought out Abraham's debts to enable him to move away to escape paying child support arrears for a second child that was born after the lottery windfall. Law Enforcement believes there may be more to this story. Abraham Shakespeare's body was found on January 28, 2010 buried beneath a cement slab on the rear property of Shar Krasniqi located at 5802 S.R.60 East, Plant City, Florida 33567. Shar Krasniqi was the boyfriend of Dorice Emma Donegan Moore (AKA Dee Dee Moore). On February 2, 2010 Dee Dee Moore was arrested, first charged with Accessory after the fact and later with First Degree Murder of Abraham Shakespeare.

On 01/26/10 writer and members of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit, the Crime Scene Unit, and the Polk County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit, responded to the aforementioned locations, which are next door to each other, to execute the search warrants. After Det. Thomas read the search warrants, writer was assigned as the scene detective. Writer notes that an HCSO Command Post, consisting of a Sheriff's Office marked travel trailer, was set up and parked on the driveway of the residence located at 5802 Hwy. 60 East. Writer notes that the yards of both residences were secured by Crime Scene tape across the front, along Hwy. 60, on each side, as well as behind the yards.

The residence located at 5732 Hwy 60 East is a single story, red brick structure, with the garage door facing the east, and the front door facing south. Writer observed a mail box in front of the house with the corresponding address displayed on it. Writer observed a blue in color Freightliner tractor truck in a disassembled state parked in the driveway, a gray and white aluminum shed in the back yard, along with two tractor trailer type steel containers, and a large wooden skateboard ramp. Writer notes behind the skateboard ramp, was a screened area that appeared that it could be used as a paintball course. Writer observed directly in the back yard of the residence was a goat tied to a tree. Writer observed the house to have four surveillance cameras equipped and positioned on each side of the house. Writer notes that the tractor had VIN 1FUYSSZBXYLB54878 displayed on the cab and the interior contents, to include the seats having been removed. Writer observed the front hood and fenders were removed, as well as the fuel tanks. Writer checked the DHSMV record for the tractor and found that it was registered to Landy Denise Roberson of 1541 W. 2nd Street in Lakeland and that the lien was held by Abraham Lee Shakespeare, titled on OS/22/08.

Writer noted the residence at 5802 Hwy 60 east was a two story residence with brown brick and brown trim, to have a concrete driveway that extended out to Hwy 60, and a wooden deck and stairs that led to the upper floor above the garage door. Writer noted that the front door faced Hwy 60 (south) and the garage door faced the west. Writer observed the back yard (north side) of the residence to have a concrete pad with an electrical service panel (without power) mounted on a wood pole and on the east side of the pad. Writer notes there were two trampolines on the concrete pad, along with what appeared to be discarded items in a pile.

Writer observed a white in color Ford F150 pick up truck with an attached enclosed aluminum trailer parked at an awkward angle, along with a boat and trailer parked next to it; positioned by the southwest corner of the concrete pad. Writer found that the truck and trailer was almost "jack-knifed" and that the sum of the truck, trailer, and boat and trailer created a "U" shaped barricade as if it were there to obstruct the view from Highway 60. Writer notes that prior to entering the properties with vehicular traffic, Crime Scene personnel swept the ground between both houses with metal detectors, as well as visually inspect the ground in an effort to locate potential evidence. Writer notes the search was conducted by Crime Scene Detectives Cashwell, Hager, McGill, CSI Brando, Cpl. Picard, and Director R. Wilson. This search was conducted at approximately 0910 hours. Writer notes that further searching of the ground from the rear of the residence at 5732 Hwy 60 and the concrete slab behind 5802 Hwy. 60 was conducted at 1115 hours.

Lynn of statements made by Dorice Moore to Greg Todd Smith in which she advised the shooting of Abraham Shakespeare occurred in the office within the house and that Abraham had been seated in the "round" chair and that he was dragged out of the office and into another room. CSI Brando then conducted analysis of the carpet of the office using "Bluestar" which yielded a positive result for blood on the carpet between the round chair and the desk, as well as on the carpet in front of the door opening to the kitchen. Writer notes that CSI Brando conducted further analysis of the office with Bluestar; see supplement. Writer assisted CSI Brando in cutting a square section of the carpet located in the northeast corner of the office; which was impounded; see Inventory # 519965 item 1.

Writer learned that there appeared to be abnormalities in the ground present in the area where the angle iron had been placed.

At 1355 hours the slab was then broken into pieces and placed in a pile by Hillsborough County Maintenance workers with heavy equipment. The area of interest was the southwest quadrant of the slab which was separated into search grids and plotted by Det. M. Tucker # 4175 of the Traffic Homicide Unit. A work area was dug out to the east of the southwest quadrant and dirt began being removed, taking layers off from the top horizontally.
