Former Kansas City FBI analyst sentenced to prison for hoarding secret documents

Kendra Kingsbury worked as an FBI intelligence analyst for 12 years. Over that time, prosecutors say she illegally collected dozens of intelligence documents including some containing information about al-Qaida members.
A former intelligence analyst in the FBI's Kansas City field office who had top secret security clearance was sentenced Wednesday to 46 months in prison for illegally possessing secret documents.

Kendra Kingsbury, 50, worked for the FBI for 12 years. Almost from the day she started working, she started illegally taking sensitive documents home, prosecutors said. Some of those documents were found in her home office and bathroom.

“Anyone who was in her home could have stumbled across these documents,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Edwards at Kingsbury's sentencing at the federal courthouse downtown.
