Police have accused a Henderson man of abducting an owner of the construction company where his wife worked after an IRS investigation found she had embezzled $20 million.
William Costa, 42, faces charges of kidnapping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, battery, extortion and coercion in connection with the Feb. 20 abduction of Larry Gilmore.
A Metropolitan Police Department arrest report alleges that an IRS investigation found Costa’s wife, Cynthia Marabella, stole $20 million from Gilmore’s company, Gilmore Construction, was the victim of the $20 million theft. Marabella was the company’s financial controller, according to its website.
Costa’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday afternoon. Marabella could not be reached for comment.
Gilmore declined to comment, but said Marabella no longer works for his company.
Court records show Costa’s bail was set at $1,500,000 Saturday.
