During the investigation to this point, Yevette Thornton was identified as a person whom may have information pertaining to the where-abouts of Shakespeare. Thornton is identified on several documents as the Notary and she was employed by the Community Bank NA Branch where Shakespeare conducted most of his business, dealing with this financial institution.

I and Det. Parker responded to 235 South Seminole Avenue, Lake Alfred for the purposes of interviewing Yevette Thornton. During the interview, Thornton advised the following: she was an employee of Community Bank NA, specifically at the branch located at 3211 South Florida Avenue. She was familiar with Abraham Shakespeare and several other persons involved in this case. Her specific role at this financial institution was a loan manager; however it was not through this title that she built an association with Shakespeare. Early on, when Shakespeare first used this specific branch she identified him as a person not necessarily familiar with the financial world, observed that he was for all intense and purposed illiterate and because of this felt as though some persons closely associated with him could or were taking advantage of him. Soon, Shakespeare would seek her out for counsel but even if he did, Thornton advised he would inevitably commit to whoever was asking for monies and provide it to them, mostly against her urgings. Thornton did confirm that she notarized a large number of documents; however she was quick to add that it was at the request of Shakespeare who was personally there every time she notarized something.

Thornton advised she quit working a the bank on February 13th, 2009 for unrelated reasons. At that time, Moore had been coming to the bank for maybe two months. She characterized Moore as a person whom acted as though she was worth more money then she actually had. Thornton further advised that Moore would often accuse bank staff of being inept to the point of depleting Shakespeare's fortune. Thornton advised that during the time of her involvement with Moore, she felt as though Moore was taking advantage of Shakespeare. Moore would come to the bank and demand account balances, transfers and withdrawals even though she had no standing with Shakespeare's accounts and could not legally do anything to these accounts. Thornton advised that on more than one occasion Moore became loud and belligerent to bank staff because they had denied her access to Shakespeare's accounts.

Although Thornton new the majority of the persons associated with this investigations, she could not offer any pertinent details, nor did she know of a possible location for Shakespeare.
