New video podcast examines 2025 arrest of ex-divorce attorney charged in Cleveland nurse’s 2013 killing
A decade-old downtown homicide and a 2025 turning point
A new video podcast episode revisits the 2013 killing of Cleveland Clinic fertility nurse Aliza Sherman and the events leading to the 2025 arrest of her former divorce attorney, Gregory J. Moore, who has been charged in the case.
Sherman, 53, was stabbed more than 10 times on March 24, 2013, in downtown Cleveland, near the building where she was scheduled to meet Moore about her divorce the day before her trial was set to begin. The case remained unsolved for years, becoming one of the region’s most closely watched cold-case investigations.
What the charges allege
On May 2, 2025, a Cuyahoga County grand jury indictment was unsealed charging Moore, then 51, with aggravated murder, conspiracy, multiple counts of murder and kidnapping-related charges. Authorities announced Moore was arrested that afternoon by U.S. Marshals near Austin, Texas.
Investigators have described the case as involving extensive interagency work. The investigation shifted in June 2021, when Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) began leading the cold-case effort at the request of Cleveland police, using updated investigative techniques and technology developed since the original inquiry.
Date of homicide: March 24, 2013
Date of indictment and arrest: May 2, 2025
Core allegations: A plan connected to Sherman’s pending divorce proceedings, with kidnapping and homicide counts listed in the indictment
Earlier criminal case and professional consequences
Moore’s name previously surfaced publicly in connection with the homicide investigation years before the 2025 murder charges. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to falsification for statements made to investigators about his whereabouts during the timeframe of Sherman’s killing. Court records from that earlier matter also reflected admissions tied to separate bomb threats placed in 2012 to delay court proceedings. His law license was suspended in 2017, and he later resigned it; he served a six-month jail sentence.
Custody status, court proceedings and the presumption of innocence
Moore has denied wrongdoing in court. At a May 28, 2025 court appearance, he pleaded not guilty, and a judge set bail at $2 million.
Moore remains presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
How the podcast frames the arrest
The video podcast format is built around the mechanics of the 2025 arrest and the investigative timeline, including the years-long gap between the homicide and the filing of murder charges. It also places the arrest within the broader context of cold-case work—how older evidence can be reevaluated and how investigative coordination can change as cases move from inactive files to active prosecutions.
A trial date has been publicly scheduled for March 30, 2026, in Cuyahoga County.
