Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

We are a small finance company. we recently terminated our office manager because fraudalant loans and not following company policies. We have since found that many loans were made by this former employee in other peoples' names, the contracts were not signed by the persons at the time the money was released from the office. after we pointed this out, and she denied the loans were hers', she got them to sign their contracts...some have since come forward and said that these loans were never their loans and they never received any money-some however are agreeing, for the time being, that this is their loan. we feel with further collection efforts these people will eventually tell the truth. We also discovered after this former manager was terminated that there is money missing , for example, down payments made when a customer purchased a vehicle-bill of sale clearly states that down payment was taken and not applied.
We have went to the local magistrate court judge, who does not seem to believe that this person could have possible done this-he hasnt even reviewed our evidence, just says we need to hire our own investigator--our former manager has worked for our local magistrate court and is connected with many of our local law enforcement. what steps can we take in making sure this former employee is held accountable for her actions?
she also applied for unemployment benefits and after our appeal, has been denied benefits, we only shared a small portion of our evidence with the unemployment officials

You need a lawyer now, before you get accused of fraud. You don't have an issue to be solved on an internet message board.
