Missing Lawyer Found Dead

“Like most lawyers who fall into this trap I always did it with the idea that I would repay the funds, but of course once I started down this slippery slope there was nothing but failure waiting for me at the end.”

A lawyer from Westbrook who acknowledged embezzling money from his clients and vanished this summer was found dead Monday morning in an apartment in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Jonathan Hoyt, 59, was found by police at 11 a.m. in an apartment he had been renting under an assumed name, said Cedar Rapids Lt. Craig Furnish. Police declined to say how Hoyt, wanted by Clinton police, had died or why they had been called to his apartment. Authorities allege Hoyt, who had a law office in Clinton, stole at least $500,000 from his clients. Several of those clients contacted authorities and reported that their funds were missing, police said. The lawyer was last seen in early July at his Clinton office, at a time when his life appeared to be on a downward slide. Several months earlier, he had filed for bankruptcy protection and had divorced his wife. Days after vanishing, Hoyt penned cryptic letters to his son, an attorney in New York, and the statewide bar counsel, admitting that he had defrauded his clients to repay personal loans. He cleared his son of any involvement and hinted that he might harm himself. Read more
