After the county sheriff's department posted Hicks as missing on its Facebook site, police received several tips on her possible whereabouts.

On Feb. 15, Lake Chem issued a bulletin statement on its website and Facebook page stating it discovered irregularities in some of its records, which may affect the accuracy of year-end reports for some members. The credit union did not say how many of its 10,215 members were affected.

"We currently are in the process of correcting those records and issuing any necessary amendments to reports," the credit union statement read. "Lake Chem does not anticipate financial loss to either Lake Chem or any of its members as a result of these irregularities. Law enforcement officials have requested that Lake Chem withhold any public comment upon the ongoing investigation of Jennifer Hicks."

Hicks' position at the credit union was not specified by Lake Chem or law enforcement officials.  Connie Evans, president/CEO for Lake Chem, did not return a phone call from CU Times Thursday seeking additional comment.

On Feb. 16, Kentucky State Police issued a warrant to arrest Hicks for alleged for "theft by failure to make required disposition of property (of) over $10,000, a Class C felony."

However, Kentucky State Police Trooper Michael Robichard would not say whether the alleged theft charge was related to Hicks' job at the credit union.

In addition to state troopers searching for Hicks, local and county police have been searching for her as well.

"We still have no information on the whereabouts of Jennifer Hicks. We are searching and utilizing various resources to attempt to find her," the Calloway County Sheriff's office stated on its Facebook page Feb. 10. "Numerous agencies have joined us to assist in locating her but at this time we have no new information."

As of 6 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, the whereabouts of Hicks remained unknown.

Local media reported that Calloway County Sheriff Sam Steger said there is no evidence that shows Hicks was abducted. He also hopes that the arrest warrant will not scare her from returning home safely.

Sheriff Steger indicated that current evidence shows Hicks might have wanted to get away for a period of time to "gather her thoughts."

On Jan. 28, Hicks appeared on the credit union's Facebook page promoting a fundraising event for a local Hospice house.

Local media reported that Hicks' ex-husband joined the search to find the missing mom.

Hicks' family said they appreciated the media's interest but asked for privacy.

"We would also ask that people refrain from speculation on social media and in conversation; facts and evidence are useful, rumors and hearsay are not," the Hicks family statement reads. "All tips can always be sent to the Sheriff's Department. Please keep Jennifer and her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you." 

On Facebook, dozens of people have expressed hopes that Hicks returns safely to her family.

"Prayers and love yalls way!! I love lake chem and the employees (especially Calvert)," Lake Chem member Jaime Moore wrote. "They brought back to me what banking should be like!!"
