FURNAS COUNTY, Neb — A Missouri woman faces charges after investigators said she stole thousands of dollars from her father while she was his conservator.
Dawn Hildreth, 50, of O’Fallon, Missouri, is charged in Furnas County Court with theft by unlawful taking (more than $5,000), perjury and abuse of a vulnerable adult.
Court records said that in January 2023, Hildreth was named temporary guardian and conservator of her father, who is in a nursing home after being diagnosed with dementia and/or Alzheimer’s.
A Furnas County judge later limited the conservatorship before removing Hildreth as conservator. Heartland Trust Company was named the man’s conservator in April 2023.
An arrest affidavit said Heartland Trust later discovered $20,581.33 worth of transactions from Amazon, Apple, Poshmark, Target and travel expenses that appeared to only benefit Hildreth. Heartland Trust said they also discovered $28,713.52 in unexplained cash withdrawals.
A complaint outlining the charges states this occurred between Jan. 17, 2023, and April 2024.
A warrant for Hildreth’s arrest was issued Friday. The warrant is extraditable for states surrounding Nebraska.
Court records do not list Hildreth’s next court date.
