In this episode of Aliza: Her Story, Mike Butz and Sara Shookman explore the growing role of digital forensics in the investigation of Aliza Sherman’s 2013 murder. The episode begins with digital-forensics expert Anthony Gentile, whose work helped authorities locate an armed fugitive in South Carolina, illustrating how phones, social media, IP addresses and other digital records can help investigators find people and reconstruct events.

The episode then examines the digital evidence at the center of Greg Moore’s upcoming trial, including cellphones, a missing phone, a mobile hotspot, cloud records, carrier logs and device extractions. Experts explain how forensic technology has advanced dramatically since 2013, allowing investigators to recover and analyze far more information about locations, communications and “patterns of life.” The episode explores how gaps in digital activity, such as a phone suddenly going offline, can become important pieces of an investigative timeline.

With Moore’s September 2026 trial approaching, the episode also provides an update on the legal battle over the evidence, including defense challenges to search warrants and forensic methods, disputes over grand jury materials and the addition of new defense counsel. As prosecutors and defense attorneys prepare to interpret years of digital records for a jury, one question looms large: could technology that was largely overlooked or difficult to analyze in 2013 now help reveal what happened to Aliza Sherman?
