While I was doing some cleanup work after an unfortunate situation I removed the Center counsel. In the process of cleaning the mess, I disconnected the "Key Fob Antenna" that is located at the rear floor location under the center counsel. With this unplugged I was Still able to remote start, Lock and Unlock the truck and Use my key fob to push the start button to start the truck but I couldn't just push the start button to either start the truck or release it from the remote start state without the key fob to push the start button. Could this be a good killswitch location?

Did you try pushing the start button with the bottom of the key fob? It probably would have started.

Yeah that was the only way to start the truck in that state. I couldn't even turn it off if I didn't have the key fob which os why I'm wondering if this would be a good killswitch circuit?
