“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,” said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley.
Bizarre Motive
According to prosecutors, Moore’s motive was to derail Sherman’s divorce case. The indictment alleges that Moore plotted to kidnap or murder Sherman to obstruct her legal proceedings. Investigators say Moore had a pattern of delaying court dates through extreme means.
At the time of the murder, Moore was already under investigation for sending bomb threats to courthouses in a similar effort to postpone appearances.
In 2017, Moore pleaded guilty to inducing panic, falsification, and providing misleading statements to law enforcement regarding Sherman’s case. He served six months in jail.
The Murder of Aliza Sherman
The indictment provides harrowing new details about the day Sherman was killed. On March 24, 2013, Moore allegedly texted Sherman to meet him at his office at 4:30 p.m., instructing her to alert him when she was on her way.
