Toni (Tonie) Anderson, a college student in Kansas City, Missouri, went missing Sunday after texting a friend she was getting “pulled over again.” Now family and friends are frantically searching for Anderson.
Anderson, 20, is native of Wichita, Kansas, and was in fact stopped Sunday by the North Kansas City Police Department, but authorities claim that they do not know where she went after that.

She was last seen Sunday, January 15, but she is not considered to be an endangered missing person, police say. Police told KWCH-TV that there are no signs of foul play at this point, “meaning there is no active search.” But investigators have been following leads, tracking down evidence and interviewing family members, friends and her boyfriend, according to reports. “We’ve spoken with family members, friends and co-workers but unfortunately still no sign of Toni’s whereabouts,” Kansas City Police spokesman Darrin Snapp told the Wichita Eagle on Thursday.
“There is no evidence of foul play but her disappearance is very concerning.” Police said like in other missing persons cases, Anderson may have left on her own, KWCH reports. But her mother told KHSB it’s unlike her daughter to be out of contact with her loved ones or to leave on her own. “It’s not like her. She’s social. You pretty much always know where she’s at,” Liz Anderson told the news station. “It’s just been a horrible nightmare. And I know any parent going through this is just horrified.” h/t heavy
Anderson’s boyfriend, Pete Sanchez, told reporters, “She’s a great person, really nice. We’re all worried sick for her. Every time I leave the house, I hope the next face I see in public is going to be her.”
The Kansas City Police Department is investigating and ask anyone with information to call 816-474-TIPS.
Anderson’s name is also spelled Tonie Anderson on some missing persons posters and other information being distributed.
