Dead on the beach

Easy one
One summer a dead girl was found on the beach.
No footprints, but a single pair of tire tracks that ended at the body
What can you deduce from the scene?
(I am looking for 1 simple answer)
I may not be able to answer for a while.. so be patient

The girl's dead, and she ain't coming back. A true, one way ticket to hell.

Nothing.
Or she used to work in circus, juggling balls, walking on a big ball, so instead of the ball, she used the tire like that.

Tiber, you know that this is harmless and that I respect you, but I just couldn't resist. And don't worry for this is the last time I play with you like that. It is just that I'm a little bit down because I'm stumped, that's all.

Ok, do you mean a single set both to and away from the body or just one track directly to?
If the later, someone was either very very good at backing their car up straight or the car was already there. Possibly what happened was similar to an article I read awhile back (though I can't seem to find the source or what I did with it) where some people went camping on the beach and decided it would be a brilliant idea to sleep under their car. The problem was, they didn't account for how high the tide would come in, so they got trapped under the car as the car sunk in the wet sand. (Ever noticed how if you stand in the surf the sand around your feet gets pulled away and you end up slowly sinking?) So my answer to this puzzle is that the girl did the same thing, and then some hobo came by and stole the car (which she made possible by leaving her keys in the ignition)

the girl frove her car up to the beach. Then, she was murdered. Afterwards, the tide came in, wiping away all the tracks. Finally, the murderers drove the car away.

A girl in a wheelchair came up to the beach. A rogue wave took chair and girl into the ocean. Eventually her body washed up to the beach near the spot she got taken. The wheelchair of course is still underwater.

Well, a pair of tire tracks does not necessarily imply the involvement of a four wheeler. It could as well be a two wheeler, a bike for example. One track was for the arrival, and the other for departure.

The girl was walking to her car, but before she could get in, someone shot or otherwise killed her, and took the car.

It could be a wheelbarrow. One track to bring the girl there, another track to get the wheelbarrow back. Just follow the track that is less deep and you get to the murdered.

It could be a four wheeler, with a set of track coming, and another set going. Only one set is visible, as the other is washed away by the waves.
