A state examination of the office that handles criminal prosecutions in St. Louis is being delayed because auditors can’t find former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. Missouri Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick said Monday in a news release that auditors have tried for several months to contact Gardner, including trying to serve her with a subpoena.
FILE - St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner sits behind her attorneys in a courtroom, April 18, 2023, in St. Louis , Mo. Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick said on Monday, May 6, 2024, that an audit of the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office is delayed because officials in his office can’t locate former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. Gardner, a Democrat, resigned last year amid concerns by state Republicans over the operation of her office.
“This is a pattern of behavior with Kim Gardner, who hasn’t shown a willingness to be transparent or accountable,” Fitzpatrick, a Republican, said in a news release. “Without question, she knows our audit is ongoing and that we want to speak with her about her time in office, but she has made no effort to comply with our requests or respond to our inquiries.
State auditors have reached out to Gardner’s lawyers, made daily calls to phone numbers believed to be associated with her, contacted former co-workers and made several attempts to serve her with a subpoena — all unsuccessfully, Fitzpatrick said.
