Carol Kisthardt
Nationality USA
Occupation NCIS investigator
Known for investigated abuse of captives at Guantanamo

Carol Kisthardt is a senior investigator with the United States' Naval Criminal Investigation Service.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Kisthardt has been a leading presenter on the role of the NCIS at law enforcement conferences.[3]

Kisthardt played a lead role in the investigation of Carlos Alvarez and Elsa Alvarez, two Florida International University professors accused of spying for the Republic of Cuba.[8][9]

When three Guantanamo captives died in custody on June 10, 2006, camp authorities labelled the men's deaths suicides, and suspected they had been coordinated by attorneys aiding the captives to file habeas corpus petitions in the USA's civil court system. Kisthardt was assigned the task of overseeing the seizure and processing of all the captive's personal papers – half a ton of papers.[10] The seizure included the privileged client-attorney correspondence.[11]

"The Justice Department—bolstered by sworn statements from Admiral Harris and from Carol Kisthardt, the special agent in charge of the NCIS investigation—claimed in a U.S. district court that the seizure was appropriate because there had been a conspiracy among the prisoners to commit suicide. Justice further claimed that investigators had found suicide notes and argued that the attorney-client materials were being used to pass communications among the prisoners."
