A woman accused of embezzling nearly $50,000 from a Boonville nonprofit has now been charged with a similar crime in Boone County.
Jennifer Waibel, 52, of Boonville, was charged last week in Cooper County with stealing more than $50,000. Her bond in that case was reduced and she is no longer listed on the Cooper County Jail’s online roster. A hearing in that case is set for 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
She was charged on Wednesday in Boone County with stealing more than $750 and two counts of fraudulently using credit cards. A motion to file a $13,650 cash only bond was filed on Wednesday.
The probable cause statement from the new case alleges she spent $13,650 on gift cards while using 10 company credit cards from Impact Support Services, located on Chapel Hill Road in Columbia.
The statement says she spent that amount from March 15-31. When Waibel was interviewed about the charges, the statement says she allegedly said “Can I just pay you back?”
Waibel worked as the chief program officer for Impact Support Services from March 2024-April 2025, according to Chief Operating Officer Julie Allen.
“We immediately reported the theft to CPD and asked them to investigate and press charges. We are cooperating with the prosecutors office,” an email from Allen says.
Waibel earlier this month was accused of stealing roughly $50,000 from Unlimited Opportunities Inc.
