DAYTON — A local family is looking for answers more than nine months after their loved one was hit and killed in a Dayton hit-and-run.

Tiffany Anderson, 43, was found dead on the side of the road in the 200 block of Redwood Avenue on Feb. 27. Yesterday, Dayton police said they’re still looking for any leads of finding who hit her.

Anderson’s mother told News Center 7 that she’s talked to detectives on this case every Monday, hoping to get answers.

“She was a human being that didn’t deserve to die or be dumped like a piece of litter on the side of the road,” Bobbie Mullins said.

Her sister, Tanya Krenzel, said the thing she misses the most is being able to share memories with her sister.

“That’s one thing I’ll never be able to do is sit there with my sister and talk about the good old times,” Krenzel said.

Both women are waiting for the day whoever did this is in handcuffs because of what was taken from her family.

“Every morning and evening, I pray that the person that did this, every time they close their eyes (that) they have a nightmare,” Mullins said.

Mullins showed News Center 7′s Malik Patterson Anderson’s autopsy report, indicating foul play. As News Center 7 previously reported, her injuries indicated she was hit and dragged by a vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Tim Rizer at (937)-333-1142. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous can submit information through Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 222-STOP (7867).
