Gail Evelyn Greathouse, 55, of Elizabethtown, Indiana, has been accused in a civil lawsuit by her former employer, LB Mold Inc., of embezzling as much as $2 million while she had served as its bookkeeper. Greathouse currently also serves as clerk-treasurer of the municipality of Elizabethtown - a position she has held for some 20 years. According to the lawsuit, Greathouse funnelled company monies to her daughter and son-in-law, Ronda Thompson and Dave Thompson, also of Elizabethtown. Some checks were made out to Black Wolf Performance, an auto repair shop owned by Dave Thompson and Greathouse. There is a criminal investigation ongoing, according to reports. She had been a bookkeeper for LB Mold for 13 years.
