In True Crime with Aphrodite Jones season 4 episode 12, titled "The Cleveland Conundrum," Jones investigates the case of Aliza Sherman, a prominent Cleveland businesswoman who was brutally stabbed to death on the sidewalk outside of her office in 2013. Despite the attack occurring during daylight hours, in a heavily-trafficked area, and being caught on surveillance cameras, the case remained unsolved for several years.
Jones delves into the investigation, piecing together the events leading up to Sherman's murder, including her contentious divorce and custody battle with her ex-husband, and her involvement in a legal dispute with a former business partner. Jones interviews family members and friends of Sherman, as well as law enforcement officials and prosecutors working on the case.
As the investigation progresses, Jones uncovers new evidence and explores various theories about who may have been behind the murder. She also examines the role that Sherman's faith, as a devout follower of Orthodox Judaism, may have played in her death.
Throughout the episode, Jones also highlights the broader issue of violence against women, particularly in cases of domestic abuse and stalking. She speaks with experts on the topic and showcases the strides that have been made in recent years to address this pervasive problem.
In the end, "The Cleveland Conundrum" presents a complex and compelling portrait of a woman whose life was cut tragically short, and the ongoing efforts to bring her killer to justice.
