MILWAUKEE A 22-year-old woman who has not been seen or heard from since she called in sick to work over a month ago may be on the run after assisting in a robbery at her place of work, Educator’s CU.
Jessica Benson disappeared days before her college graduation and just after her workplace was robbed. Initially, her sister thought Benson was missing or kidnapped, according to police.
Court documents and a Milwaukee Police search warrant now allege that Benson was not kidnapped but rather involved in the robbery that occurred at her work just before she disappeared. Investigators believe Benson and her boyfriend, Nathaniel Robinson, were tied to the crime.
Benson worked at the credit union for six years, had no criminal record and was about to graduate from college.
The robbery occurred May 7, while Benson was working at the credit union’s drive-up window. According to a surveillance video, the robbery took place when the suspect gave a teller a note. The note was inscribed with terminology used internally by credit union employees, according to court documents.
And then, Benson called in sick after the incident. A week passed and no one heard from her.
The credit union said Benson called in sick on May 11. After this, Benson began to not show up to work in a suspicious manner.
