Former Soros-backed DA Kim Gardner has disappeared as accusations against her have piled high enough to be a border wall. She prosecuted and drove Eric Greitens from the governorship in Missouri, even though she knew for a fact he was innocent. She became well known for not prosecuting 2,500 criminal cases, and another 2,735 cases were tossed by judges as her office never got their act together and prepared for a trial.
Key Findings of the Report:
- Dismissal of 25,000 Cases: The report highlights that under Gardner’s tenure, an astonishing 25,000 cases were dismissed, raising serious concerns about the administration of justice in St. Louis.
- Failure to Prosecute 2,735 Cases: Judges dismissed 2,735 cases due to Gardner’s office’s failure to prosecute, indicating a systemic breakdown in the city’s legal processes.
- Misuse of Taxpayer Money: The report uncovers that Gardner’s office paid $351,500 to an unlicensed attorney for legal advice, a blatant misuse of taxpayer funds.
- Violations of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act: Gardner’s administration is accused of countless violations of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, compromising the rights and welfare of victims in criminal cases.
- Resignation Amidst Legal Pressure: Gardner resigned just hours before a judge was expected to order the turnover of potentially damaging records and schedule a deposition, a move seen as an attempt to evade accountability.
Authorities are trying to find her because of the ongoing investigation and also to serve her subpoenas, but she has vanished.
From the Associated Press:
Auditors can’t locate former St. Louis circuit attorney to complete state audit
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.
Fitzpatrick said in a news release that auditors have tried for several months to contact Gardner, including trying to serve her with a subpoena. Her whereabouts remain unknown, he said.

Gardner, a Democrat first elected in 2016 to become the city’s first Black circuit attorney, resigned in May 2023. She was part of a movement of progressive prosecutors who sought diversion to mental health treatment or drug abuse treatment for low-level crimes, pledged to hold police more accountable, and sought to free inmates who were wrongfully convicted.
Under Gardner’s watch, the Circuit Attorney’s Office, once the most active in Missouri in terms of jury trials, saw a dramatic decrease in the prosecution of criminal cases. This decline led to a state of near-collapse in the city’s criminal justice system.
Kim Gardner is so intolerable that two dozen attorneys and more than one-third of the trial lawyers left the office when she took over the office in 2017. And this is a Democrat-dominated office!
She finally left office after a young girl visiting St. Louis lost her legs when a young felon who should have been in jail hit her with his car.
Where could she be?
This is a perfect reminder that every single Soros-backed prosecutor should be removed from office. They are the cause of so many problems in the country right now.

Missouri Auditor says he has not been able to find the disgraced George Soros backed circuit attorney for the Shitty of Saint Louis Kim Gardner. Is it possible that justice has been served? Let’s hope that’s the case. https://t.co/T3V8Xb6Ola
