You could call the Missouri police department from a public phone and ask them whether someone (you, but don't tell them your name) who has failed to pay for a ticket and has gotten a warrant placed on them can simply pay the ticket and move on from there? Hopefully if you can just pay it you'll no longer be wanted.

well if you turn yourself in, youll spend like 2 nights at jail, then be released, and you wont have to pay squat!

It's a "bench warrant", which means they are not going actively come looking for you. Speeding is an infraction, not a misdemeanor, so it is highly unlikely that they will put you in "jail" for a Failure To Appear. The ticket is not a condemnation; it is an invitation to a trial before a traffic judge, which you declined by default. It's unlikely that you could fight the ticket at this point, but the default fine may be accumulating interest and penalties. Check the ticket to see what county it was issued in, call the county courthouse, and ask for the clerk. He can look up all the info you need and he can tell you exactly what you need to do.
