The chilling disappearance of a $30 million lottery winner

Case 248: Abraham Shakespeare
** Content warning: Gun violence **
When 41-year-old Abraham Shakespeare won the 30 million dollar Florida Lottery prize, his underprivileged life changed overnight. Yet, he quickly realised his newfound wealth was a curse.
Despite showing limitless charity, he became demoralised by the pressure and expectations thrust upon him by those seeking his money. Then in April 2009, Abraham vanished. Had he voluntarily left to escape the stress, or had something more sinister occurred?

I've listened to the interogation videos and another channel's telling of this case. This is by far the most well put together summary. I learned things that I didn't get from other sources. You have also made Abraham the center of the story and not Dee Dee. Well done.

I remember this story way back so sad about Abraham he didn't deserve what happened to him. So cruel. So unfair. It's understandable why you need to remain anonymous after a huge lottery win. I believe that Abraham was too kind. To his whole family my deepest sympathy for your loss of Abraham. 😢😢😢😢

I don't play the lottery, but if I did and won a huge jackpot, I would never advertise my winnings to news media. I'd still be the generous person that I am without it being known outside of my most inner circle.

Anyone willing to throw their own 14 yr old child under the bus: deserves to have their selfish arse locked up for life.

Greed. I can only say I personally wouldn't wish in winning the lottery, I already have snakes around.

The A. Shakespeare story is so sad, but I'm glad something was finally done to protect the winners' identities

[@jwinnfield9192]

i’m not finished yet but i am firmly of the opinion that there is no way anyone would even write a fall guy story like dd’s for fictional purposes. Its just not believable that an innocent person even under heavy suspicion would ever do that as a way to divert from them. You would surely have to have a very low intelligence level to consider it. dd is guilty and surely with her support group too. they would have to be insane to believe she was innocent if that was required. bangin’ story though 👍
