Investigators Probe Public Administrator's Office

Investigators Probe Administrator's Office Officials take look into Buchanan County "bookkeeping irregularities" after complaints.
The Associated PRess
St. Joseph — State investigators have questioned Buchanan County's public administrator and seized items from her office following complaints from elderly residents that they never received their Social Security payments.

The Missouri State Department of Health and Senior Services began the investigation of Bonnie Sue Lawson in December 2005 after receiving the complaints, department spokeswoman Nanci Gonder said.

On Thursday, a state investigator and St. Joseph police detectives served a search warrant to close Lawson's office in downtown St. Joseph to seize four computers, five compact discs and shredded documents.

County prosecutor Dwight Scroggins said no decision has been made on filing charges.
"It's an investigation of what I would term as bookkeeping irregularities," Scroggins said Friday.

All Missouri counties have an elected public administrator who serves as guardian, conservator, personal representative and representative payee for certain citizens, such as minors, the mentally incompetent and those with disabilities.

Amanda Jones Still Missing But Not Forgotten

Few clues in Amanda Jones case
By Tim Rowden
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
08/13/2006

A year ago Amanda Jones kissed her daughter and parents goodbye after attending a Sunday church service in Festus and drove off to meet with the man she believed was the father of her unborn child.

She was nine months pregnant and was supposed to be home in a couple of hours.
She never returned.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the Pevely woman's disappearance, a case that grabbed the attention of local and national media last summer and a case that continues to frustrate police.

Friends and family will hold a memorial service today at 6 p.m. at Calvary Assembly of God Church, 1650 Calvary Church Road in Festus. Her mother, Bertha Propst, says they will release purple balloons - purple because that was her daughter's favorite color.

Police still don't have any solid clues in their search for Jones, who disappeared only days before she was due to deliver her second child, a son. Jones was 26, a divorced mother of a 4-year-old girl, who now lives with her father in St. Louis, and worked as a loan administrator at Eagle Bank in Festus.

She had gone to the Hillsboro Civic Center to meet with Bryan Lee Westfall.

Police found her unlocked car on the Civic Center parking lot but said it offered no clues.

Son Kills His Own Mother!

Advance woman stabbed to death; son arrested
Saturday, July 29, 2006
Southeast Missourian

ADVANCE, Mo. -- An 80-year-old Advance woman was found stabbed to death in her home Friday. Her 50-year-old son, who police say has a history of mental problems, is being held on suspicion of the crime.

Just before 11 a.m., police responded to a call at 806 W. Masters St., Apt. 15, and found the victim, Nada G. VanGennip, dead of multiple stab wounds, said Stoddard County Sheriff Carl Hefner.

Nothing was taken from inside the home. However, VanGennip's car was missing, so authorities released a statewide bulletin to law enforcement officers to look out for the car.

The vehicle was soon located on Interstate 55 in Ste. Genevieve County. It was being driven by the victim's son, David VanGennip, who resides in a different apartment in the same housing complex his mother lived in.

VanGennip was arrested and transported to the Stoddard County Sheriff's Department, where a warrant was issued for second-degree murder and armed criminal action.
He is being held under a $1 million cash-only bond.
