Does anyone know about this small business she worked for? It would be one thing to embezzle a hundred here or a hundred there (in a small business) but thousands would be noticed IMHO- I think it would be harder to embezzle the kind of money that would make it worth your while to disappear and have it not noticed by the boss.
If you are aged 65 and have a family you love, I would assume you would need a lot of $$$ to make you gone. $500,000 plus? That kind of cash would be noticed by a small business person. So I doubt she had taken much. So I don't think you would run away with $15k, for example, stage an abduction of some sort and then run away.
Of course, if she had a drug or drinking habit and had embezzled small amounts out of desperation, that would be a different story.
The tooth from her dentures are what really points me to something bad happening to her rather than her walking away. Someone hit her, hard and broke them.
I don't have experience with a partial personally, but used to work in the dental field, and occasionally we'd have to reattach a tooth to one. If I remember correctly you get a temporary partial while the good one is being made? Maybe it's from an old partial or temporary one maybe? Anybody jump right in, it's been a long time since I've worked in the dental field.
Easy to break the seal sometimes, she could have taken out, struck on any solid surface to knock a tooth off. Then again, have they contacted the dentist that made her partial to see if he can identify as belonging to her - is it type/brand he uses, correct size according to molds maybe, and or correct shade of tooth chosen according to his records?
She looks like a lady that takes care of her appearance, I'd vote for old partial destroyed to look like struggle as opposed to current partial. I'd think most ladies would rather prick their finger and bleed a little bit than ruin their smile. :waitasec:
Just playing devil's advocate here.
I don't know what to make of this latest news about possible embezzlement. I hope it's not true, seems like she has a loving son and husband, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors?
I just wonder who she kept company with during the work week. That might help investigation a bit. I almost wish they'd investigated the books before stating possible embezzlement, because you know if she's cleared, someone's not going to get the story straight, and "she embezzled" will be all they will talk about.
We see that here on WS all the time with misinterpretation and sloppy reporting or misreporting by media etc... Easy to do. :moo:
