A woman found dead last week in a well near the Missouri River in Kansas City has been identified as Janina Vasquez, police said Thursday. Vasquez, 27, had been reported missing from Overland Park. She reportedly was last seen Feb. 11...
In a tweet Feb. 18, Overland Park police said Vasquez had “several health issues” and was without needed medication.
The next day, workers with the Kansas City Water Services Department found her body inside a 25-foot, city-owned flood control well near First Street and Lydia Avenue.

Jenny Cochran said she doesn’t believe that her daughter did it on her own. She said her daughter had some serious health issues that would have made it nearly impossible for her to even walk to the park... She painted to help relieve some of the pain from her health issues. "She did not drive. She didn't have a car and didn't drive because of all the seizures," Cochran said.
Cochran said someone had to have picked her daughter up from her home in Overland Park. In her last text, Vasquez said she planned to stay the night with an "Allen and Nicole" and would be back the next day. No one saw or heard from her again until her body was found...
Vasquez's phone was in one of her boots and her identification was in the other. The burgundy North Face backpack that she took with her is missing, along with her bra, underwear and socks. Her phone last pings at Third and Cherry streets, about a mile away from where she was found...
The medical examiner hasn't released any information, but Cochran said she was told that Vasquez died almost immediately from a blow to the back of her head.
