THE mother of a strip club waitress who went missing without a trace has revealed she thinks her daughter is a victim of human trafficking.

Toni Anderson was last seen on January 15 when she was at a gas station in Kansas City in the early hours of the morning.

It was moments later her cellphone "went dark" after she had sent a message to a friend saying: "I just got pulled over again", and her GPS failed.

Now her mother, Liz Anderson, says the family are convinced Toni was kidnapped and has been sold into the human sex trafficking trade.

She told the Wichita Eagle: "I believe she’s been taken, and I believe it’s human trafficking.

“They can’t find her. The Kansas City detectives have been amazing, but they’re perplexed.”

She also told the Kansas City Star: "This just isn't like her, she wouldn't just disappear."

The family are "100 per cent certain" their daughter will be found and are poised to do everything they can to help her when she is returned.

Liz added: "I'd do anything for my girl, and so would her father."

Liz said previously to 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.'Friends and family have been getting increasingly worried about Toni's safety since she went missing last month.

She was driving home from her part-time job in a bar when she was last seen.

She set off home at about 4am, but needed to refuel at a petrol station first.

But police then pulled her over.

Toni had been on her way to meet friends after finishing work at Chrome entertainment bar.

Her friend Roxanne Townsend said the message read: "OMG just just (sic) pulled over again" and added: "It was exactly 4:42 when she texted me and said, 'I just got pulled over again."

“She said 'again' because she gets pulled over all the time.

They have confirmed the stop and Darin Snapp from the Kansas City Police Department told Fox4News: "We're talking to friends trying to find out exactly why she was in that area."

He added: "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."

Snapp said she was then directed to the gas station: "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 but her GPS stopped working after she arrived at the Quicktrip.

It is not known if it was tampered with.

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

Toni's boyfriend Pete Sanchez says he has been frantic since her disappearance: "Every time I leave the house, I hope the next face I see in public is going to be her.

"It was just like any other night. I just thought she'd come home."

He added: “It`s very comforting to know we have many media sources sharing everything going on online.”

The couple had been living together in Kansas City for two years, and it was the first time she had disappeared.

Pete has never been a suspect in her disappearance.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to raise funds for a reward and hire a private investigator, which has already reached $10,000.
