The employer from whom Karen Backues, local businesswoman, is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars has filed a civil lawsuit against Backues, her husband and their business. While Karen Backues, operator of the Olive or Twist Liquor Stores in Platte City and Liberty, remains in the Platte County Jail this week on a $50,000 cash-only bond for three counts of felony theft and three counts of felony forgery, she finds herself a defendant in the civil suit being brought by the software firm from whom she is accused of stealing. The civil lawsuit brought by GBA Master Series, a software firm in Overland Park, Kan., lists defendants as Backues, age 45, her husband Bryan Keil, 43, and Olive or Twist LLC.


At least one Parkville business owner has some harsh criticism of the job performance of the city prosecutor. Denver Harris, owner of ADH Hitch and Trailer Access along Hwy. 9, emotionally detailed for the Parkville Board of Aldermen Tuesday night multiple occasions of alleged assaults that he says have been ignored by Peter Schloss, prosecutor for Parkville’s municipal court.
