After studying up for awhile and reading through a lot of the thread, I've come up with a few possible scenarios, a couple of which I'm not too thrilled about, but scenarios none-the-less.

First scenario:
I don't know a whole lot about the Missouri river in this area, or the depth of it, but I do know a lot about physics and inertia. We all know that after she left the store she headed south in the direction of home. We also know she was texting a friend. We also know that texting and driving is extremely dangerous. We also know that bridges tend to freeze and ice up faster than land based roads. Now...................it
may be possible that she got to fishtailing on the bridge, over corrected and rolled her car right over the side of the guardrail. It wouldn't have rolled so much as it would have bounced, especially if it happened to get turned sideways. I've included a screenshot of the bridge in the direction she would have been traveling to get home. I would guess that the guardrail is between 42" and 48" high. Under normal conditions, this would be a hard feat to accomplish obviously. But I'm not talking about normal conditions here, I'm talking about a freak accident with all of the conditions lining up perfectly to create the perfect storm. If her car got to rolling sideways and was launched into the air during that roll, it's possible she could have gone right over the side of the bridge and left very little sign of it. Note: The guardrail on the northbound side is higher than the guardrail on the southbound side, she would have been traveling south next to the lower rail.
Scenario #2:
She leaves the quick mart, heads home. Some guy pulls up behind her with a strobe light he bought on eBay. She pulls over and stops, thinking it is a local cop.........."OMG again !".
As it turns out, it's not a cop, it's a couple of buddies out pretending to be cops. I say a couple, because I really don't know how any one perp could manage to subdue a hysterical woman, while keeping one vehicle and disposing of another one. That scenario would almost have to include two perps. This scenario seems almost too complicated to be feasible, but at the same time, some of these crimes we encounter appear to have been hatched, plotted and carried out by The Three Stooges. Nobody thinks it's really plausible because it seems too complicated and almost ridiculous on the surface. Now, if her car had been found abandoned on the side of the road, especially after that text, then it would definitely be a good possibility. It could even be a rogue cop, but with both her
and the vehicle vanishing, the logistics simply don't work out very well for a lone assailant.
Scenario #3-- carjacking in an unknown location.
Scenario #4--- Boyfriend isn't being completely honest about whether she made it home or not that night.
