Aliza Sherman: Her Own Attorney Is Accused of Her Murder

Episode Summary

On March 24, 2013, Aliza Sherman went to downtown Cleveland to meet with Gregory Moore, the attorney handling her contentious divorce. She arrived early, waited outside his locked office building, and exchanged messages with him. Minutes later, Aliza was attacked and fatally stabbed. For more than a decade, her murder remained unsolved. In 2025, a grand jury indicted Moore, Aliza's former divorce attorney, on charges including aggravated murder, conspiracy, murder, and kidnapping. Prosecutors allege he deceived Aliza into waiting outside the office and either participated in or arranged the attack. Moore has pleaded not guilty, and the charges have not been proven. We examine the suspicious messages, the missing evidence, the years of unanswered questions, and the case that is now moving through the courts. Thank you to this week's sponsors!
