Tanner recently moved from Greensboro to Charlotte, and may still have ties in the area, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a statement.

Tanner is described by authorities as 5-feet-3 inches tall, weighing 110 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. Police say she was last seen wearing a red tank top, black shorts and black flat shoes.

UPDATE I: Police are now Investigating this missing person cases as a homicide.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe said there are indications there was an argument between Tanner and her boyfriend Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Police said clues have led them to begin a homicide investigation.

“It’s unfortunate that we have to draw the conclusion at this point… based on our concerns, we have elevated it to a homicide investigation,” Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe said on Thursday.

Elevating the case to a homicide investigation will result in additional resources being added to the investigation, police said in a news conference on Thursday.

“We have interviewed several individuals known to Ms. Tanner,” Monroe said. “Some have yielded information that steered us into the direction of a homicide investigation.”
