More than $300,000 has been reported stolen from the credit union where Jennifer Hicks worked.
According to a Kentucky State Police incident report, Lake Chem Federal Credit Union reported $304,981.30 was stolen from the institution over the course of several years, between Nov. 6, 2012 and Feb. 2, 2016. The report goes on to say that the suspect used computer equipment to commit the thefts.
Hicks was an employee at Lake Chem during the period in which the thefts occurred. While Hicks’ name does not appear in the report, some information appears to have been redacted due to the fact that the investigation is ongoing. A physical description of the suspect in the report does appear to match that of Hicks.
Hicks was reported missing Feb. 12, and felony theft charges were filed against her on Feb. 16. Her body was found nine days later at a Murray storage unit. The Calloway County Coroner ruled her cause of death to be a self inflicted gunshot wound.
