Not at all suggesting that LE are all bad guys.
But take a moment to watch that video, read about these cases right there in KCMO and recent.
I'd say 95% of this thread is speculation based on what we know. I'm simply speculating on multiple things that are plausible based on what we know.
It's not a rumor that the drug informant in that article was killed for being sniffed as a snitch. It's not a rumor that janina vasquez should have been charged and sent to prison, but somehow was never charged. It's not a rumor that KCMO uses confidential informants.
But just the same as we can speculate what Toni might have been doing that night or if her gas tank was empty or full, I am speculating that much of these odd aspects about the case, could be explained by Toni being a CI.
Not a rumor, it's speculation.
Also it's not a rumor that the KC child crimes unit was deemed incompetent. It's a fact :

So... my speculation is that there could potentially be a link here. So feel free to dismiss it and point out your speculation : "
apparently there is no indication of anything at this time"
Because I don't think it's apparent. I think that's why a dashcam video might help make that apparent.
I find it hard to see a case like nina vaszquez and a report about incomprehensible/indefensible incompetency in the dept and just trust them blindly regardless.
Dashcam video would simply solidify a timeline. This confidential informant topic is speculation that would **explain** why someone like Toni would want to **disappear**. Isn't that kind of what they said happened? "she just disappeared."
It's reasonable speculation that if her gps went off at that gas station, that SHE did it. Even their own reporting seems to support that. So why? what is her reason?
CI?? That's called speculation. not a rumor. And I find it odd that you are suggesting we not evaluate a crime that happened about 5 miles from where Toni was last seen, and for a while... that girl seemed to just "disappear". A girl who also had drug related arrest in her past that didn't result in charges. It's not wild rumors to speculate that they might be CI's.
Seems pretty relevant to me.
