Vanished Kansas City woman whose remains were found by woods had ties to FBI drug probe
On May 23, 22-year-old Abbi Schaeffer left her Northland Kansas City home carrying her purse and her black-and-white cat Izzy.
For six hours, a dark gray BMW, its windows tinted black, had been parked across the street in their quiet subdivision. Schaeffer walked out, spoke with the man in the driver’s seat, and got in.
It was the last time her parents knew she was alive.
***********
Since her remains were discovered, Kansas City homicide detectives have been leading a death investigation. The Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office is tasked with determining the cause and manner of her death. As of Friday, Officer Donna Drake said there had been no changes or updates.

But they have long suspected something terrible happened to her. And on May 30, when she had been gone for several days, Belinda Schaeffer walked into Kansas City’s North Patrol station with a story to tell.
Her daughter had recently told her that she had information about a fentanyl trafficking operation, she said, and that she was supposed to talk to the FBI before she disappeared. Her phone had gone silent and dropped off the map, and its last signal had come from an apartment complex in south Kansas City one week earlier.
She gave police the address, along with pictures of her missing daughter. She told them about the cat, too. Abbi never left home without Izzy, she said.
***********
The information Belinda Schaeffer provided would soon lead detectives to connect the dots to a federal probe of a Kansas City area drug ring involving known associates of Schaeffer, whom detectives also described as a “target” of the investigation.
Days later, those detectives located surveillance footage that they believed showed Abbi Schaeffer walking into the same south Kansas City apartment where her phone had died one week before.
But they never saw her walk out.
