Missing lottery winner feared killed
World
In 2006, Abraham Shakespeare — a truck driver’s assistant who lived with his mother —
won $30 million US in the Florida lottery. His good fortune may have cost him his life.
Shakespeare, left, vanished months ago, and a local sheriff has an ominous theory: he was
murdered. “There are a lot of odd and bizarre circumstances in this case,” Sheriff
Grady Judd said. “We fear and are preparing for the worst. We’re working this case
