The longtime general manager of a Minnesota cooperative grain elevator is still missing, one month after suspicions arose that he used money from the co-op to finance exotic big-game hunting safaris and expensive taxidermy, reports the Star Tribune.
The Ashby Farmers Cooperative Elevator Co. said last week that it has identified more than $4.9 million in suspicious spending by Jerry Hennessey, who served as its general manager for nearly 30 years.
There’s still no word on Hennessey’s whereabouts, Grant County Sheriff Troy Langlie told the Star Tribune, adding that his department is working with analysts from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to collect the financial records needed before criminal charges against Hennessey could be considered.
