I have some serious problems with the CI theory:
- First of all, she was presumably prosecuted in Wichita. How does she end up being a CI in Kansas City, 200 miles away? Makes no sense.
- Secondly, if this was her motive for disappearing, why not tell her mom she's okay?
- Third, what is wrong with the usual reason for running away, that you just wanted to get away from your current life? Perhaps unhappy with relationships.
1 - I encourage you to spend some time researching this topic, because MO and KS cooperate because they share a border and the city of KC itself shares a state border.
You can check out this link for an example of that :
That happened in april of 2016. used a CI.
I still admit I am new to this topic, however it's pretty clear that they cooperate across state lines. You can also look into what it is called a "controlled buy" , which quite often is done with a CI. For all we know someone like Toni or even Toni could have been that CI. That's speculation, but I don't consider it implausible.
2. You won't have to go far to find accounts of CI's who's parents didn't know they were a CI -

I do encourage you to watch that video and do a little research on reasons a CI's parent might never know they were a CI, until they are dead. It's not rumor, that's factual. Someone looking to disappear might wait a while before letting parents know. The wikihow she read, clearly points that out as a good idea.
3. there is nothing wrong with that reason. But it's not a reason that makes the idea of her being a CI make no sense. It's factual that they turn people who have drug arrests , which Toni has in her past. She even says on her Twitter that she should have went to prison and somehow she got out of that -- and literally said she didn't want to talk about how. So she fits the profile of someone they'd make a CI.
So. again, not at all saying I'm convinced. I'm just simply pointing out what someone else mentioned and that I researched some. I don't need to be convinced that CI's exist or that Toni fits the profile.
Hope you'll keep an open enough mind to how your 1,2,&3 are not reasons that I'd call serious problems for a CI speculation. I just posted a link above that hopefully gives you more information to evaluate someone else's speculation. I don't think it's crazy in the least.
It's a very common practice for LE to use a CI, and someone in her occupation and an open drug user is a damn good cover.
Put yourself in a CI's place and with the knowledge that at any moment someone might discover you are a snitch...
