I don't understand the motive. If all of this was already out in the open between both households and he was about to be out of the Marines and move back home, why do this?
Of course one may ascertain from media reports and hearsay many different scenarios and probabilities maybe it is just me but I tend to deal in factual information. When reviewing situations such as what we are discussing now, I ask myself the following questions:
Does the report come from a credible, authoritative person or organization?
Does the reporting agency have a reputation for seriousness or for sensationalism?
Is there evidence of thorough research?
Is the story based on just one source?
Are the sources reliable, fair, and objective?
Is the report balanced, or is it written to convey only one point of view?
When the tone is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.
Are the facts consistent with those in other articles or reports? If stories contradict one another that is a clear sign to be careful in what we assume to be factual.
Is the information recent enough to be acceptable? Something thought to be correct 2 years ago may be discounted today. On the other hand, if the news item is a breaking story, it may lack complete and comprehensive information.
In addition to the above in today's technology it is very easy for those in the know how to Photoshop images that are nearly undetectable sometimes even to a trained eye.
I just tread lightly thru all the muck and mire until such time either the evidence provided is enough to reach a factual or a reasonable conclusion.
Just my two cents worth.
Hi steelman
It's possible that she's in hiding, but very unlikely. She has no support structure there, apart from her husband. There has been no activity on her credit cards, bank account, etc. Her mother was coming to see her.

In a telephone interview, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Randy Naquin said neither Corporal Lee nor his wife have been named as suspects in Corwin’s disappearance.“Just because their names are in a search warrant or you received their names from some other source rather than the sheriff’s department; they're not listed as suspects or persons of interest so we wouldn't have a comment.” Naquin said.

I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say. Could the fact he was being discharged (and Erin would have known he was) had something to do with Erin disappearing. Cause: CL was being discharged Effect: Erin disappeared.
You and I and WS'ers understand what you are saying. But a family thrown into a nightmare like this doesn't realize that keeping up appearances hides the truth, and the truth is what will lead to the victim being found and justice being served. They really just do not know any better. JMO.
Can we link to a public record for CL? Alerted on my post for Mod help.
No, but they would be required to report that she is alive and the case is closed, IIRC.
Also from the cbs8 article:
Cpl. Christopher B. Lee, 24, was discharged from the Marine Corps on July 7, 2014 and is currently serving in the Individual Ready Reserve. Cpl. Lee served as a rifleman with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division.
Cpl. Lee entered the Marine Corps July 7, 2008 and received an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps on July 7, 2014.
So that's the full 6 years. Why did he IRR?
