Press Release: Attorney General Yost Announces Indictment in Aliza Sherman Cold Case
Cleveland, OH – Attorney General Dave Yost announced the recent indictment of Gregory Moore, the attorney representing Aliza Sherman during her divorce proceedings, for her brutal murder in 2013. After a twelve-year investigation, advancements in technology and analytical techniques from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) led to significant breakthroughs in this cold case.
Sherman, a 53-year-old nurse and mother of four, was fatally stabbed in broad daylight near Moore’s office in Downtown Cleveland. Reports indicate that Moore allegedly lured Sherman under the pretense of needing to meet her. According to the indictment, he had devised a plan months earlier to kidnap her, aimed at obstructing her divorce case.
"The game changer is often something new in technology or investigative methods," Yost explained to anchor Tracy Carloss. The tools utilized by BCI provided vital insights from digital fingerprints left by cell phones and WiFi connections, thus aiding investigators in piecing together evidence.
Moore, 51, has been charged with aggravated murder, conspiracy, multiple counts of murder, and kidnapping. The indictment alleges that he took deliberate steps to evade detection, including disconnecting his phone from the network during the murder.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley commended the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies in finally bringing justice for Sherman and her family. With the anticipation of additional evidence disclosed at trial, Yost praised O’Malley and his team for their commitment to this complex case.
After many years of uncertainty, this development marks a significant step forward in seeking justice for Aliza Sherman and her grieving family.
