DC Vanner

DC Vanner was a detective constable assigned to investigating the murder of Tina McIntyre in 2014 along with DS Hawthorn.

When Tina McIntyre was violently assaulted at the Builder's Yard in Victoria Street, DC Vanner along with his partner DS Hawthorn where assigned to the case. They turned up at 19a Rosamund Street and arrested Carla Barlow on suspicion of attacking Tina, as she was seen storming out of the Rovers Return Inn threatening to 'kill' Tina after discovering she had an affair with her husband Peter Barlow. After questioning at the police station, Carla was released pending further inquiries. Her brother Rob Donovan had stated they arrested the wrong person, and that Peter was the one who did it. They later call at the Rovers Return and interview Liz and Steve McDonald, the latter who reveals he had known about Peter's affair with Tina for a while.

When Tina had died a week following her attack, the case had become a murder investigation. Vanner and Hawthorn later bring Carla back to the station for more question, however release her once again. The stress of the situation later caused Carla to have a miscarriage.

Vanner and Hawthorn attended Tina's funeral a few weeks later, in which a fight happened by the graveside between Rob and Peter. Both men were arrested, with Rob later being released and Peter kept in the cells overnight to sober up. Peter was given some more questioning as he had stated by the graveside that he and Tina were even, making him a suspect however he was released without charge. In July 2014 the police were contacted when Tracy Barlow (Rob's girlfriend) was wearing a bracelet belonging to Tina's flatmate Steph Britton which was stolen on the night of the attack. The police turned up at Tracy and Rob's business Barlow's Buys and Tracy had confessed the bracelet was found in the yard at 1 Coronation Street. The house then became a crime scene, and when broken bits of the bracelet contained Peter's finger prints, Vanner and Hawthorn arrested him and later charged Peter with the murder of Tina.
