EXCLUSIVE Female biker's wife and girlfriend both stunned by what eyewitness did after she died in crash
Annabel Force was killed after she lost control of her motorcycle while on the interstate, flipped over the median and fell 80 feet to her death.
But the pain of the 19-year-old's tragic death was exacerbated by an eyewitness who snatched her $9,000 bike from the scene within an hour of the June 8 crash.
It took police nearly two hours to locate Force's body after the deadly smash on an interchange near downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
Her wife Sakura Keiser, 21, and girlfriend Ellie Seegmiller, 22, say the circumstances surrounding her death remain a mystery because the thief swiped a key element of the crime scene.
Investigators are now looking for Force's beloved 2022 Yamaha YZF R7 with Keiser and Seegmiller hoping it will provide answers as to what happened to her.
'We don't know what happened to Annabel,' Keiser told Daily Mail. 'We don't know if she was hit, avoiding an accident, if somebody ran her off the road. We have no proof of the accident because her bike is missing.'
Keiser and Seegmiller are heartbroken by Force's death with the pair saying the 'world is worse off without her'.
Force and Keiser eloped in May 2024, two years after meeting at their high school prom. They were 'inseparable' since the day they met, Keiser said.
Seegmiller had been seeing Force for several months, but the pair had made their relationship official 20 minutes before the fatal crash.
'Annabel asked me to be her girlfriend before that ride,' Seegmiller told the Daily Mail. 'It was the last thing she did.'
Force was driving alongside Seegmiller on I-17 to see her off as the 22-year-old headed back to California, where she lived.
The pair went their separate ways after saying goodbye at a rest area, with Seegmiller explaining that Force was meant to call her once she made it home.
She and Kesier realized something was wrong when Force never phoned. They were also worried when they tracked her location and saw that she was still near Phoenix.
Police received a call about a 'bike with no rider' on the freeway around 5:15pm, according to Keiser. They started patrolling around 6, but it 'took until after 7 for them to find her'.
'Annabel never called. She never made it home. I drove out to look for her around 7:35pm and ramp was closed off the police were there,' Keiser told the Daily Mail.
Force's helmet was found at the scene, but her motorcycle was nowhere to be found, with troopers alleging it had been stolen before they even arrived.
'Annabel fell 80 feet to her death and within an hour her bike was stolen,' Seegmiller said.
Keiser spent several hours trying to get in touch with police before she headed to an area near the I-10 and I-17 transition ramp, (pictured) where she learned her wife had died
The family is now asking for help locating Force's bike, a black 2022 Yamaha YZF R7 with VIN number is JYARM38E4NA000755.
Keiser and Seegmiller hope that if found, the bike can help answer some of the mysteries surrounding Force's death.
'We have no information. We have no closure. We are looking for the bike. All police have told us is her death was caused by the fall,' Seegmiller said.
'Annabel died 10 minutes away from her home,' Keiser added. 'We just want to know what happened.'
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help the pair as they prepare a memorial service for Force and cover expenses so 'Annabel's family can take the time they need to grieve'.
As of Wednesday, the crowdfunder had already raised more than $2,400.
Keiser said her wife, 'would want everybody to spread kindness'. She added: 'Annabel wouldn't want anyone to hold a grudge against the biker community.'
'She wouldn't hold a grudge,' Seegmiller echoed. 'We're trying not too. We just want to sleep at night.'
Keiser, meanwhile, shared a heartbreaking tribute to her wife online, saying how she was 'taken from this world far too soon'.
'Annabel, you were my heart, my partner, my everything. I will forever cherish the love we shared and the memories we made. Your light, your laughter, and your presence were gifts I will never stop being grateful for,' she wrote.
Keiser, vowing that Force will 'always be with me', added: 'I hope that wherever you are now, you've found peace, comfort, and everything your soul ever longed for.'
The couple started dating in May 2022 after Force was 'eyeballing her the entire night' at their prom.
Force made the first move by 'saying she was cold and asking me for my jacket', Keiser laughing recalled to the Daily Mail.
'The next day we went on our first date and have been inseparable ever since.'
Keiser met Seegmiller on a 'spontaneous trip to California' and the pair instantly became friends.
'Sakura introduced me to Annabel and she was like "this one is mine",' Seegmiller joked, adding that making things 'official' was the last thing Force did before she died.
Seegmiller also poured her heart out on social media, sharing: 'I can't believe you're never coming home. I can't believe you were taken from me so soon.'
She promised to 'go on all of the adventures we dreamed of', 'take care of our puppies' and someday purchase a 'house in Georgia with a wrap around porch'.
