Aliza Sherman was fatally stabbed in downtown Cleveland for more than 12 years and police arrested a man on Friday.
A grand jury charged Gregory Moore, 51, a former divorce lawyer for Sherman - with the charges involved in a fatal stabbing of a 53-year-old nurse while she was waiting outside his office building on March 24, 2013. The indictment includes one serious crime of murder, one count of murder, six counts of murder, six counts of crime and two counts.
Security footage captured a hooded man who ran away from the crime scene, but now believed to be Moore's man has never found it. The case was still unresolved at that time.
The Ohio Criminal Investigation Bureau, which featured Sherman's case in 2021, took Sherman's case in 2021 - talking to her daughter Jennifer eight years after the killing.
"The Shermans have been waiting for more than a decade for the answer to the mother's murder," Kuyahoga County Attorney Michael C. O'Malley said in a statement. "Through the tenacious work of multiple law enforcement agencies, there is evidence that Gregory Moore was carefully planned and involved in the brutal murder of Aliza Sherman."
No Moore seems to be assigned as a lawyer.
The indictment states that on Sunday, Sherman was killed. Moore texted her to meet him at his office building at 4:30 pm and let him know when she was leaving.
According to the indictment, "Moore or an unnamed conspirator" approached her from behind and stabbed her more than 10 times, resulting in her death.
The indictment accused Moore of texting and calling Sherman before and after the alleged killing of her.
"These texts and requirements are intended to create false evidence that Moore is not aware of Sherman's attack," the indictment said.
The grand jury indictment says Moore killed Sherman to prevent her divorce trial, which was scheduled to begin the next day.
The indictment states that when Sherman was murdered, Moore was investigated for sending a bomb threat to the court when he had to appear in court to avoid a trial. The indictment says Moore knows he is investigating the bomb threat.
In 2017, Moore pleaded guilty, causing panic about bomb threats and forging misleading statements during the Sherman investigation.
Prosecutors said Moore will be arraigned at the Kuyahoga County Justice Center in the future.
