A former business manager for the Independence (Missouri) Examiner newspaper is accused in Jackson County Circuit Court of embezzling more than $400,000 from the company over the course of three years.
Deneane M. Hyde, 58, of Blue Springs, is charged with one felony count of stealing more than $25,000, court records show. She withdrew money from the newspaper’s bank account, over which she had individual authority, and deposited funds into her personal bank account between 2018 and 2021, authorities allege.
