‘We all got cheated.’: Family of woman killed in Dayton hit-and-run crash seeks answers

Tiffany Anderson struck, dragged by vehicle one year ago on Redwood Avenue.

A year after a 43-year-old Harrison Twp. woman was killed in a hit-and-run crash Dayton police are still looking for a suspect and her family is still searching for answers.

Around 4:48 a.m. on Feb. 27, 2023, Tiffany Anderson was found dead on the road in the 200 block of Redwood Avenue. An investigation determined Anderson was hit and dragged by a vehicle, according to the Dayton Police Department.

“On Mondays I’m a mother who is grieving her daughter,” said Anderson’s mom, Bobbie Mullins. “The rest of the week I’m a grandmother who is helping her grandkids grieve their mother.”

Anderson had five children, including two teenagers and an adult child with disabilities.

“We all want answers,” Mullins said. “We all got cheated.”

Anderson was working on her sobriety and working to open a business creating scented soaps and selling gently used clothes to people in recovery when she died, her mother said.

“But they interrupted that,” Mullins said. “They took that away from her and from us.”

With Anderson being found in a residential area at a time when most people are at home, it’s been harder Dayton police to investigate. However, investigators believe someone knows something about Anderson’s death.

Anyone who may have seen something suspicious, such a a speeding vehicle, near the 200 block of Redwood Avenue around 5 a.m. is encouraged to call the Dayton Police Department at 937-333-COPS (2677).
