KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The mother of a missing restaurant server says she's waiting for confirmation that her daughter was the person killed in a natural gas explosion that leveled a popular restaurant in Kansas City, Mo.

Hours before Tuesday's blast, witnesses say they had smelled gas and firefighters were even sent to the scene, but ordered no evacuation.
