The woman allegedly stole $130,000, according to a media release from the City of Edmonds on Wednesday.
Detective Govantes contacted the two other dentists’ offices where the woman had worked. Both businesses said they fired the woman but didn’t call the police after she agreed to pay them back. The owner said she thought an employee, someone she had known for almost 30 years, was defrauding the business in her role as office manager. The owner said she first saw suspicious activity in 2017 but addressed it with the employee and thought that would be the end of it.
Detective Govantes worked with multiple search warrants, banks, credit card companies, and the owner to reconcile the purchases.
