qour affiant and co-affiant believe that, in this case, the
computer hardware is a container for evidence, a container for
contraband, and also itself an instrumentality of the crime under
investigation.
Between winning the lottery in 2006 and meeting Dee Dee Moore in
2008, Mr. Shakespeare spent, gave away or loaned the majority of
kiis winnings and was left with approximately $1.5 million in cash
and assets totaling approximately $3 million. Shakespeare
utilized several financial institutions, seemingly one after
another on the whim of various advisors: from Wachovia, along
with various Annuity holdings, to Community Bank and eventually
to Bank of America. Mr. Shakespeare did not invest heavily and
was reported to be unimpressed with annuities to the point of
pulling all of his money out and using the money to seed accounts
accessed by Dee Dee Moore.
Land Transfers
On January 9th, 2009, Mr. Shakespeare signed a Quitclaim Deed to
American Medical Professionals LLC on his primary residence, 9340
Redhawk Bend Drive. The deed was recorded on 01-13-09. Abraham
Shakespeare paid $1.07 Million in 2007 for the home, and Dee Dee
Moore, in a statement given to Polk County Sheriff's detectives
dn or about November 9, 2009, stated she paid him over $500,000
in cash. In a subsequent statement given to Polk Sheriff's
Detectives on January 25, 2010, Ms. Moore stated that she had not
paid Abraham Shakespeare because Shakespeare had a drug problem
and she felt that he would use it to buy drugs. In a statement
given to detectives on January 29, 2010, Ms. Moore stated that
she had not paid Abraham Shakespeare because he did not want to
pay the gift tax owed on the amount. A review of ori ice (Dee
Dee) Moore's bank records has not revealed corresponding
withdrawals, checks, or transfers indicating payment for the
home, to date.
On February 11, 2009, Dee Dee Moore provided the bank Articles of
Incorporation along with papers purporting to be "meeting
minutes" of the "board" of Abraham Shakespeare LLC. Contained
among the meeting minutes were minutes of a "meeting" which was
purported to be "attended" by Dee Dee Moore, Judith Haggins and
Abraham Shakespeare. The documented discussion was about adding
Abraham Shakespeare's name as an authorized signer. Further, the
$1.095 million check from Abraham Shakespeare's Prudential
Annuities account was then deposited into the Bank of America
account in the name of Abraham Shakespeare, LLC. on February llth
2009. Judith Haggins is a longtime friend of Abraham Shakespeare.
She met Dee Dee Moore through Abraham Shakespeare and soon
became a business associate of Dee Dee Moore. Judith Haggins
acted as Abraham Shakespeare's paid driver and personal
assistant.
No activity occured in the Bank of America account until February
17th, when the bank was again provided with "meeting minutes" of
Abraham Shakespeare LLC. by Dee Dee Moore. Ms. Moore was the only
person listed in attendance. These "minutes" describe the
discovery of "criminal activity" on the part of Shakespeare,
which may result in criminal charges. Therefore, Shakespeare was
to be removed as an authorized signer of the account. Bank of
America therefore removed Shakespeare as an authorized signatory.
From February 10, 2009 to February 17, 2009 the account shows no
activity. On February 18, 2009, a cashiers check for $250,000
drawn on the Abraham Shakespeare LLC. account was made payable to
ASTAT and was deposited to Navy Federal Credit Union account.
ASTAT and Supply, LLC was a business registered with the
Department of State Division of Corporations and was reinstated
as an active corporation on October 15, 2008. Shar Krasniqi was
listed as CEO. Additionally, the account holder of the Navy
Federal Credit Union account is Shar Krasniqi. Further, on
February 18, 2009, a cashiers check for the sum of $250,000 was
drawn on the Abraham Shakespeare LLC. account made payable to the
Internal Revenue Service. This check was endorsed by D. Moore.
Notated on the check, in the endorsement section, were the hand
written words "not needed for intended purpose". This $250,000
check is then deposited into the business account of American
Medical Professionals LLC. By the use of the endorsement "not
needed for intended purpose" Dee Dee Moore was able to divert the
sum of $250,000 from its intended purpose to her own control and
benefit. On February 19, 2009 and February 23, 2009, cashiers
check for $200,000 and $250,000 respectively, were drawn on the
account of Abraham Shakespeare LLC and were made payable to
American Medical Professionals.
During an interview on December 3,2009 by Polk County Sheriff Detectives Wallace and
Clark, when questioned about the above described money and property transfers Dee Dee Moore
explained, she and Abraham Shakespeare, with the intent to avoid paying any child support,
intentionally transferred all money and assets out of his name into the name of American Medical
Associates. As stated above, Howard Stitzel's name appeared on the deed transfers. Additionally,
Howard Stitzel was the Attorney of record representing Shakespeare in the child support
enforcement action. This action commenced January 14, 2009. Howard Stitzel filed his response
as Abraham Shakespeare's attorney on March 6,2009. Abraham disappeared in April 2009. As
mentioned in the above section with the controlled phone call, Howard Stitzel made an implicit
admission confirming his misrepresentation to police during the Polk County Sheriffs missing
person's investigation. According to records on file with the Polk County Clerk of Courts,
Howard Stitzel appeared in person in a Polk County Court in August 11,2009 in the above
mentioned Child Support Enforcement Action, and told the Judge that Abraham Shakespeare
was out of the country receiving treatment as an explanation for his client's absence. Howard
Stitzel was also interviewed for a Ledger newspaper article which appeared on December 1,
2009. Stitzel was quoted as saying "that the last time he talked with his client was in October
when they discussed child support issues.. . Stitzel said Shakespeare did not sound distressed
during his phone conversation in October."
David Howard Stitzel represented Abraham Shakespeare in child support proceedings and
drew up numerous document related to a variety of transactions described herein, including an
assets purchase agreement with addendum, property deeds, Quitclaim deeds, contracts,
mortgages and power(s) of attorney. David Howard Stitzel received three separate checks in
February of 2009 totaling $17,500 from Abraham Shakespeare LLC. All of these checks bore the
signature of "Dee Dee Moore". During an interview with Detective Chris Lynn (Polk County
Sheriffs Ofice) in November 2009, Dee Dee Moore stated that these checks were
compensation for legal services rendered by David Howard Stitzel.
January 29, 2009 Dee Dee Moore bought a 2009 Lincoln MKS and
titled it in the name of Abraham Shakespeare LLC. The same
day she traded the Lincoln to Abraham for his BMW. She then
titled BMW in the name of Shar Krasniqi
April 14, 2009 Dee Dee Moore traded the 2009 Lincoln MKS for
a 2009 Chevy Silverado. $31,000.00 was allowed for the
Lincoln and Dee Dee paid $13,302.60 in cash for the
remaining balance on the vehicle
November 3, 2009 Dee Dee Moore took the BMW to Stingray
Chevrolet and sold it to them for $37,000.00.
Power of Attorney
Notary Ambrose E. Austin was interviewed by Detective David
Cavanaugh of Polk County Sheriff's Office, during the week of
November 9, 2009. Mr. Austin told Detective Cavanaugh that on
April 3, 2009, Shakespeare signed a Power of Attorney designating
Judy Haggins as his Power of Attorney. Notary Ambrose E. Austin
stated Haggins was present during signing and advised Shakespeare
was present. On November 13, 2009, Ms. Haggins told Detectives
wallace and Clark that this was the last time that she saw
Shakespeare alive. Haggins has, in fact, used the power of
attorney to close bank accounts belonging to Abraham Shakespeare
and sign court pleadings on Abraham's behalf. Proceeds of closed
accounts have been deposited into accounts controlled Dee Dee
Moore.
Additional Information
On or about November 9, 2009, Detective Chris Lynn began to
subpoena financial records of Mr. Shakespeare as well as those of
Ms. Moore to include numerous Limited Liability Corporations
(LLC) associated with Ms. Moore and her boyfriend Shar Anthony
Krasniqi. It should be noted that numerous financial documents
were also voluntarily turned over to the Polk County Sheriff's
Office by Ms. Moore during this investigation and numerous public
record documents have been obtained related to the involved
parties in this investigation. To date all subpoenaed financial
information has not been received; however, upon an analysis of
the received subpoenaed financial documents and financial
documents turned over by Ms. Moore there are numerous
discrepancies between the factual information and information
provided by Ms. Moore during several non-custodial interviews
with Law Enforcement.
