INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Days after Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said she is prosecuting property crime , some crime victims wonder why their case is in limbo.
“I was mad, I was upset and actually my husband thought I was kidding when I looked out and said, ‘Where’s my camper?’ But it was gone,” Paula Martin said about her camper that was stolen.
Matin has the facts to back up her case and believes the county’s top prosecutor is misleading taxpayers.

This all comes while the property crime wave continues in Kansas City, Missouri , and many other parts of the county.
Matin says she is angry that she is now without a camper, but more so that the 36-year-old man police have referred over for charges told them he did it, but still isn’t charged.
“This is serious stuff – a camper – nobody got hurt and it was just property ,you know, but what’s the next thing on his list and will he even be prosecuted?” Martin asked.
