Erin Corwin was just nineteen when she vanished on June 28, 2014. She had told her husband, Marine corporal Jon Corwin, that she was going to nearby Joshua Tree National Park that day for some “me time” and to scout out locations for her mom’s upcoming visit. Sadly, she never returned. In part one of this two part episode, we describe the events leading up to Erin’s disappearance. Sources:
