Globe: Highway Patrol investigating Rita Hunter

The Joplin Globe reports the Missouri Highway Patrol has been called in to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rita Hunter's removal of files when she left the Jasper County public administrator's office.

The article, written by Susan Redden, reveals that Mrs. Hunter said she took the files to prepare for the lawsuits that have been filed against her. Apparently, she spent four years as the public administrator without realizing that those files were not hers, but belonged to the taxpayers of Jasper County.

And that does not begin to explain the erasure of all information about her wards from county computers or the alleged removal of other county equipment.
