This week from the Garage, we are very happy to be bringing to you major updates in three cases that we have covered. 38 year old Amber Spradlin was killed at an after work party sometime in the night of June 18, 2023. True Crime Garage covered this case in July of 2023 with episode #687. Since, arrests have been made and trial dates have been set. In 2013 Cleveland Clinic nurse Aliza Sherman was killed in downtown Cleveland in broad daylight. Back in December of 2017 we covered his “stranger than fiction” true crime story in a four part series. These were episodes #167 to #170. As we predicted Aliza Sherman’s divorce attorney Gregory Moore was arrested and charged with her murder. In March of 1992, Amy Hooper was murdered in her Lincoln Village apartment on the westside of Columbus, Ohio. In December of 2025 Bruce Daniels was arrested for this homicide in Washington state. We are keeping a close eye on this one as it inches closer to the murder trial.

On June 18, 2023 first responders arrived at the scene of a residence on Arkansas Creek in Martin, Kentucky. Martin is a tiny community near Prestonsburg. Later, Kentucky State Police announced that they had found 39 year old Amber Spradlin dead at the scene due to a knife attack. The community is in an uproar as more than one 911 was made before anyone showed up to the scene. Could Amber’s life have possibly been saved that night? Prestonsburg interim Police Chief Ross Shurtleff said the 911 center didn’t receive any calls from Amber Spradlin on June 18. All calls from that day have been forwarded to the Kentucky State Police for their investigation. If you or anyone you know has information that could help this murder investigation please contact the Kentucky State Police at 1.606.433.7711
