Hi Everyone,
(PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS DONATIONS ON THIS THREAD. CLICK HERE FOR DISCUSSION)
Websleuths is very expensive to run. Most months we make enough to pay for the server, pay the IT guy, and a bit of money left over for me for some bills or food. This way I can keep Websleuths free for everyone.
There are months when this is not the case.
I recently pre-paid the server fee and almost all I owed our IT guy. I knew the money coming in for the month from advertising would not cover the bills but I thought I had another revenue stream coming in so I wasn't worried. That revenue stream didn't happen.

Basically, I need donations to cover the server and what I owe the IT and a bit extra for my groceries.

I have provided Websleuths free for almost 20 years (since 2004) and will do my best to keep Websleuths free for members and visitors.

This month we need 2700 dollars to keep Websleuths running. I don't know what next month's ad dollars will be. Hopefully, you won't be hearing from me.


Let me stress if you cannot afford a donation please do not send anything. I understand times are hard.

When we reach our goal I will announce it and stop accepting donations. It is urgent however that we raise the money as fast as possible.

Please use PayPal Pay Websleuths.com, LLC using PayPal.Me
If the PayPal link does not work for you go to www.paypal.com and put in the email [email protected] and you can send a donation that way.

Abbi Schaeffer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (TCD) -- Officials positively identified remains found last week as a missing woman who has not been seen since May of last year.

According to WDAF-TV, on April 1, Kansas City Police officers discovered skeletal human remains near 95th Street and Blue River Road, and they were positively identified as missing 22-year-old Abbi Schaeffer.

A screen shot from home video footage showed Schaeffer leaving a residence May 23, 2022, wearing a tan crop top, black leggings, and black Nike sandals. Kansas City Police said they were "concerned for Abb’s safety and well-being."

A bulletin on the National Center for Missing and Unidentified Persons Systems (NamUs) says Schaeffer went to an address in south Kansas City and was seen entering but never leaving. She reportedly got into a dark-colored BMW with an unknown male and hasn’t been seen since.

WDAF reports Kansas City Police will conduct a death investigation with the medical examiner’s office. Cause and manner of death were not released.

This is a very long article. It is worth reading the full article. Go to the link and scroll down to the article.


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.

This is behind a paywall for me, so thanks for posting some of it. My thoughts are with Belinda and those who loved Abbi.

There is a turn-out off 95th, I wonder if this is where she was found?

The AOL link is behind a paywall for you? That seems strange. I wonder why it isn't for me. The original Kansas City Star article is behind a paywall for me, but not the AOL link.

Newly released court documents have now detailed more about the days leading up to and the circumstances of her disappearance.

According to a search warrant application from June 2022, Schaeffer’s mother last saw her on May 22 or May 23 and spoke to her via text message on May 24.

When her mother reviewed surveillance footage, she discovered that multiple times on May 23, Schaeffer left the home, walked toward the street, then later returned.

Around 6 a.m. May 23, Schaeffer’s mother saw a gray BMW parked across the street. Schaeffer went to make contact with the driver but later went back inside, repeating this several times.

Just after noon, she went out to the car again — but this time she didn’t go back inside. It’s not clear when the BMW drove away.

Court documents say Schaeffer told her mother she was involved in a federal investigation involving drugs. At the time, her ex-boyfriend was in jail on drug charges.

Schaeffer’s mother told detectives she was preparing to speak to the FBI about others involved in the drug ring. KCPD contacted the agency, who confirmed there was an ongoing investigation.

FBI agents said they believed the gray BMW belonged to an associate of Schaeffer’s boyfriend, and data showed the car’s license plate pinged in several areas of south Kansas City.

Schaeffer’s mother also used the Life360 app to determine the last known location of her daughter’s cell phone. When police checked the south KC apartment where the phone pinged, the tenant said he had just moved in after his sister — the girlfriend of the BMW owner — moved out.

Police also found Abbi’s cat at the same apartment building…

Thank you MFH. Yeah I was struggling with the lighter color. I just find it interesting that he is listed as a person who lived at her last known location. Zillow Rental has the lease ending in early May so I wonder if the family had already moved out? Who knows. I went ahead and called the number on the flyer. Thanks so much for responding.
After reading this article linked below, I realized that the information I gave was accurate. It was the guy’s car. The Facebook I found with the car was it but LE was already on it by the time I talked to them in September. LE kindly accepted the information and I didn’t have a clue that they already knew. I’ve been watching this guy’s Facebook faithfully since that time and tonight it is gone. Unbelievably sad outcome. I’m just crushed. So senseless too.

The prosecutor’s office said according to the Medical Examiner’s Office, a cause of death could not be determined due to decomposition, but the victims brain tissue did contain fetanyl metabolites.
