WHEN A $30 MILLION LOTTERY WINNER VANISHES UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES, POLICE BEGIN TO INVESTIGATE, AND THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF POSSIBLE SUSPECTS

In 2006, Abraham Shakespeare won $30 million in the Florida lottery, and he was generous with his winnings, helping friends and family pay off mortgages and, oftentimes, giving money to those who needed it, including strangers. But three years after his windfall, Shakespeare mysteriously vanishes. Police searched for a killer and identified Dorice “Dee Dee” Moore as a person of interest. Now, in an all-new phone interview, Moore speaks with ABC News senior national correspondent Matt Gutman on “20/20,” airing FRIDAY, APRIL 18 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), and streaming the next day on Hulu.

The “20/20” episode includes exclusive interviews with prosecutor Jay Pruner and Abraham Shakespeare’s second cousin Ashley McMillian. Additional interviews include detectives David Clark and Greg Thomas; former undercover officer Mike Smith; Sentorria Butler, Abraham’s former girlfriend; Greg Massey, Shakespeare’s childhood friend; Deborah Mathis, author of “Unlucky Number”; and former Lakeland Ledger reporter Melissa Green.
