The mother of a missing strip club hostess, 20, who vanished without a trace last month, fears her daughter is the victim of human trafficking.

Toni Anderson, 20, was last seen in the early hours of January 15 at a QuikTrip gas station over on 9-Highway, in Kansas City. Moments later, she disappeared, her car GPS failed and her cellphone 'went dark'.

Her mom Liz Anderson, who says the family are desperate for answers about their daughter, is convinced Toni was kidnapped and sold into the human sex trafficking trade.

'I believe Tori was lured into where she went, and that somebody has her,' she told the Kansas City Star. I believe she is maybe part of a human trafficking situation.

'This just isn't like her, she wouldn't just disappear.'

Liz says that she and her family remain '100 per cent certain' that their daughter will be found.

And they were ready to do everything they could 'to make her ok again.'

'I'd do anything for my girl, and so would her father.'

However, police have found no trace of Toni Anderson despite a huge search effort, 'by land, air and water' and have found no evidence of foul play.

Since 2007, more than 1,500 calls have been made from Missouri to the National Human Trafficking hotline, the same site reported.

According to the Department of Justice, each year more than 15,000 will be trafficked into slavery in the U.S.

Missouri stands in 20th place for the most human trafficking, with St. Louis and Kansas City are highlighted as trafficking hotspots. Since just 2007, more than 1,500 calls have been made from Missouri to the National Human Trafficking hotline, according to CBS.

Toni Anderson had left her job at Chrome entertainment bar on 40-Highway and was walked to her car by her manager at around 4.10am on January 15.

She was supposed to meet up with friends at another strip club called Shady Lady, but she never arrived.

A short time later Anderson, who went by the name Vanity, was stopped by a North Kansas City police officer who pulled her black, 2014 Ford Focus over on 9-Highway near a QuikTrip gas station.

Anderson messaged her friend Roxanne Townsend saying: 'I just got pulled over again'.

Townsend said her friend 'got pulled over all the time'.

Darin Snapp with the Kansas City Police Department told WDAF: 'Improper lane change is what she was stopped for.

'She stated to the officer that she was almost out of gas. There's a QuikTrip real close.'

January disappearance: Authorities say Anderson drove from her job at Chrome before she was pulled over by a police officer around 4am. The officer then directed her to a nearby gas station, where she was last spotted

'So the officer just told her, you know, 'there's a gas station right there,' gave her a warning for the violation, and watched her actually go to the QuikTrip and that's the last we have seen of her.'

Police say her ATM card was used and that her GPS system in car stopped working shortly after she arrived at the QuikTrip.

It's unclear if the system malfunctioned or if someone tampered with it.

Snapp said: 'There is no evidence of foul play but her disappearance is very concerning.'

Authorities are using license plate readers and video surveillance and tracking Anderson's cellphone during their search for her.

A GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for a reward and private investigator has already raised more than $10,000.

Her boyfriend Pete Sanchez said the month since she had been missing had been extremely emotional and hopes that efforts to find her are successful.

Final message: The officer stopped her for an improper lane change, but gave her a warning. Above is the text that Anderson sent to friend Roxanne Townsend saying 'OMG just just (sic) pulled over again'

'It`s very comforting to know we have many media sources sharing everything going on online,' he said.

The couple have lived together in Kansas City for two years, and it was the first time she had disappeared. He has never been a suspect in her disappearance, police confirmed.

Her mother told KSHB: 'It's not like her. She's social. You pretty much always know where she's at.

'It's just been a horrible nightmare. And I know any parent going through this is just horrified.'

Her cell phone was connected to the T-Mobile network until around 9.30pm on Sunday January 15, but after that it went dark, KMBC reports.

Toni's friends and family are desperate for information that can help trace the missing 20-year-old

'At times, the grace of God is the only thing keeping us together,' her mother Liz Anderson admitted. 'You just try to not let it totally consume you, but I know we'll find her.'

She added that her prayers were the only thing that gave her piece and stopped her from having 'horrifying dreams.'

The mom also thanked her family and friends, and the kindness of strangers, for their incredible support at such a difficult time.

Liz and her husband Brian Anderson recently sold their home in Wichita but have no plans to leave while their daughter is missing.

Since news of Anderson's strange disappearance last month, some people on social media have speculated that the 20-year-old may have staged her own departure and have even set up a Facebook page called 'Toni Anderson Missing Scam.'

Her mom Liz says the conspiracy theories are hurtful.

'I've seen those rumors, and they're absolutely false,' she said. 'Toni would never do something like that. For what? She had so much going for her. She was in school, and she had the apartment in Kansas City that she always wanted.'

A spokeswoman for Missouri Missing, a nonprofit organization based in Jefferson City, said it was extremely rare for anyone who goes missing to have staged their own disappearance.

In the past, Anderson has worked as a concert promoter and reviewer.

The Nocturnal Times posted on its Twitter page: 'Our writer Toni Anderson has been reported missing in the Kansas City, MO area. Please contact authorities with any information you may have.'

She was driving a 2014 Ford Focus with Kansas plates: 989GAX.

Toni's profile has also been added to the database for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
