CLEVELAND -- Saturday marks five years since 53-year-old Aliza Sherman was murdered in downtown Cleveland. Her death remains a mystery.
Sherman was stabbed to death as she left her divorce attorney's office outside the 55 Erieview Plaza building March 24, 2013. Despite authorities having evidence of a masked figure in black running from the crime scene, nobody has ever been arrested or charged for her murder.
Each year, the Justice For Aliza Sherman group holds a vigil in her honor. They held a gathering this Saturday at 5:15 p.m. at the crime scene where Sherman died.
Aliza Sherman's daughter said as the years go by, it doesn't get easier, knowing the killer is still out there.
Her friends and family lit five candles and released five balloons into the sky at the Erieview Plaza in Downtown Cleveland. Each candle and balloon were for the years that have passed, since her death.
Sherman’s daughter, Jennifer Rivchun is now a mother.
“As a young mom myself without my best friend, and guidance I imagined I would have from her and support,” she said. “Five years sounds like a long time. On the other hand, it feels like it's been a century.”
Even after so many years, Sherman's son, Jason said it’s just tough to find closure.
“I've tried to move on as best as I can, and move on with my life, but we're never going to be able to move on until we get justice for my mom,” said Jason Sherman.
Until her killer is behind bars, her children said they will return every year to Erieview Plaza where she was killed.
"No information or tip or detail should be considered too small. Anything you might remember, heard, saw that day or anytime since then. I will remain hopeful until the day I die,” said Rivchun. “I will not give up hope. My mom deserves it. I know she would do it for me.”
Sherman's daughter said investigators are not calling this a cold case and are still actively looking.
If you know anything, you are urged to call police or Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County at (216) 252-7463.
Last May, Sherman's divorce attorney, Gregory Moore, pleaded guilty to making a trio of bomb threats inside the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. He also provided false information to police on his whereabouts the day Sherman died.
The pair was scheduled to meet that day. Moore sent texts to Sherman claiming he was in his office, but prosecutors say his phone and key card records proved otherwise.
Moore was sentenced to 180 days behind bars.
