A decade old murder case took a 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: stunning turn as a Cleveland divorce attorney was indicted for 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: the brutal twenty thirteen stabbing death of his own client. 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: One of the lawyer's neighbors spoke to WKYC three News, 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: it's a little bit weird to think that this guy 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: who has been living here with me for eight years 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: and he has his deep, dark secret. Prosecutors alleged Gregory Moore, 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: fifty one, orchestrated the killing of Eliza Sherman to avoid 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: facing the fifty three year old in a contentious divorce 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: trial scheduled for the very next day. Sherman, a Cleveland 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: clinic nurse and mother of four, was ambushed outside Moore's 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: downtown office on March twenty fourth, twenty thirteen. She'd been 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: lured there by a text from Moore instructing her to 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: meet him at four thirty pm and confirm her arrival. 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: While she waited outside, a hooded figure believed to be 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: more or an accomplice, attacked her from behind, stabbing her 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: eleven times in the neck and back. According to the 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: unsealed grand jury indictment. More than attempted to cover his 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: tracks by calling and texting Sherman both before and after 21 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: the assault in a calculated effort to create a false alibi. 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: Security footage from the scene captured a hooded figure fleeing, 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: but despite this evidence, no arrest was made for twelve years. 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: The victim's daughter, Jen Sherman, spoke to the media. 25 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: I think when this initially happened, you know, we thought 26 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: someone would be arrested in a few days. 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: But the cold case remained unsolved until twenty twenty one, 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: when the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations took over and 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: pieced together new evidence linking More to the crime. Authorities 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: now say the motive was clear. More allegedly killed Sherman 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: to prevent the trial from proceeding and to silence her permanently, 32 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: and this was not Moore's first attempt to obstruct justice either. 33 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: Investigators revealed he previously called in bomb threats to courthouses 34 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: to delay his own cases. In twenty seventeen, he pleaded 35 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: guilty to inducing panic and falsification charges tied to misleading 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: authorities during the initial investigation into Sherman's death. Moore now 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: faces multiple charges, including aggravated murderer, conspiracy, six counts of murder, 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: and two counts of kidnapping. He does not yet have 39 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: an attorney listed in court records and is awaiting arraignment 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on May sixteenth.

Defense attorney Cesarbasquez spoke 52 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: to the media outside the courthouse. 53 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: A really tough emotional case. 54 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: All week long obviously tough for Bella's family, but tough 55 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: for everybody. But you know, at the end of the day, 56 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: the jury had to decide whether she understood. 57 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: Right from wrong at the time of the offense, so 58 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: they decided that. 59 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: Prosecutors meticulously laid out Landon's twisted actions, revealing that on 60 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: the night of April twenty fifth, twenty three, inside the 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: home she shared with Bella's father, Michael Fontenelle, a petty 62 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: argument over a wagon escalated into a fatal rage. Assistant 63 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: District Attorney Rachel Affric painted Landen, also known as Bonack Limb, 64 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: as quote pissed off and evil end quote, driven by 65 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: a vengeful desire to quote make him pay end quote 66 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 2: in the most horrific way imaginable. Following the brutal murder, 67 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: land An allegedly stuffed Bella's lifeless body into the bucket, and, 68 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: in a scene eerily captured on neighborhood surveillance footage, dragged 69 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: the macabre container through the streets of Harrahan in a wagon, 70 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: delivering the ultimate horror to Bella's mom, Jennifer Zelden, who 71 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 2: lived nearby. To further conceal her heinous crime, Landon also 72 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: buried her cell phone, a desperate act that resulted in 73 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: two additional convictions for obstruction of justice. In a bid 74 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: to evade responsibility, defense team argued a plea of insanity, 75 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: pointing to the seemingly irrational act of leaving the bucket 76 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: and playing sight. Defense attorney Cysarvasquez argued that act alone 77 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: was the epitome of madness, but prosecutors expertly dismantled this claim, 78 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: revealing Landon's premeditation, including online searches for insanity defenses conducted 79 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: before the murder. Landon now faces a mandatory life sentence 80 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 2: without parole, and finally, at Louisiana family dinner at a 81 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: Mexican joint turns into a parking lot homicide after a 82 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: son allegedly uses his pickup truck as a weapon against 83 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: his own father all Over, who was footing the bill. 84 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: Cop say Lucas Stow, thirty seven, mowed down his sixty 85 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: four year old father, Luther Stowe in the Gonzales, Mexican 86 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: restaurant parking lot.

Then he allegedly 89 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: fires up his forward truck and bam, just plows right 90 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 2: into him. An off duty deputy, hearing the screech of tires, 91 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 2: gave chase and nabbed Stowe near another restaurant. Sadly, the 92 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: elder Stowe later died from his injuries. Now his son 93 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 2: is facing a second degree murder charge.
