“I just don’t know how she got there,” Liz Anderson said. “It doesn’t make sense, one bit.”
Anderson was last seen Jan. 15 after she left work around 4 a.m. She was pulled over by a North Kansas City police officer on Missouri 9 for an improper lane change. She told the cop she was almost out of gas, so he let her off with a warning and watched as she drove to a Quick Trip nearby,.

She texted her boyfriend at 4:42 a.m. saying “Omg just got pulled over again” and then stopped texting completely.
Officers do have surveillance video with Anderson in it but are not releasing it as it is apart of their investigation.
“KCPD has searched tirelessly for Toni Anderson, as we do in all our missing person cases,” Kansas City Police Capt. Stacey Graves said. “We have searched for her by land, air, sonar water. Our thoughts and prayers are with Toni Anderson’s family this evening.”
