Incident Location 15100 Front Beach Road
Origin at Seahaven
Panama City Beach, Florida, 32413
Bay County
L.E.A Panama City Beach Police Department, Panama City Beach, Florida

The cause of this crash can be attributed to at least one known fact. Ms. Tanner was struck by an unknown vehicle, believed to be a motorcycle, and being driven by an unknown person. Multiple videos were collected from businesses that showed two motorcycles traveling through the area during the time of the crash. Video obtained from Beachbreak by the Sea corroborates the witnesses' account of the two motorcycles passing a Mustang in the area of Hills Road just prior to the crash. Video collected from the sunrise Condos, just east of the crash site, shows two motorcycles eastbound at the time of the crash. Investigators with the Traffic Homicide Unit and the Criminal Investigations Division also followed up on multiple leads and tips. This resulted in several interviews and photos of different motorcycles being obtained. None of the leads or tips were instrumental in identifying and locating a suspect in this case. Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Panama City Beach Police Department at (850) 233-5000.
