GUILTY CA - Erin Corwin, 19, pregnant, Twentynine Palms, 28 June 2014 - #4

Being in this conversation here reminds me of being at book club when the discussion is the first half of the book. But I've already read the whole book before that meeting so it's hard to know what to say and what not to.

So at book club when that happens you just have to say oh uh huh, maybe during conversations. When you know, no, that's not how that works out.

Often, LE is very close with the family, sharing minute details. I would think many cases LE would call the family and say to your knowledge, do any of Erin's friends own a red compact sedan. At the very least, I don't think I've ever heard of a case where LE outright lies when a clue comes out and says they've never heard that before. I've seen Law Enforcement who were the best advocates of the family, and kept the family informed at every single turn. And I've seen LE who keeps everything secret. But never have I seen them lie and pretend they don't know about a clue if they do know.

I'm sorry for what you've been through. Must have been very hard.

I do think they are keeping Jon abreast of the investigation in general terms without divulging evidence. I believe Jon's mom said that the police talk to them/him on a daily basis. But I can see them not sharing this with Erin's side of the family. Jon, is the legal next of kin, and they may have told him to not discuss anything they have discuss with him including to his own family and Erin's.

Her family doesn't even live there so I don't think they would know who drives a red car in 29 Palms.

I don't think LE outright lied. I think the statements from the Beasleys somehow got lost in the shuffle when the investigation was just beginning when everything can be pretty chaotic with different officers taking different statements from different individuals. It takes awhile to sort through everything and I think most of their time and effort has been spent on trying to find Erin. From what I understand there were more than one police agency working the case when her car was found.

I can see them discussing it with Erin's family if Erin wasn't married or if she was an underage child.

I guess that's certainly possible. To me, when I look at this case in its entirety, the red car sighting should be the entire focus of the investigation.

This tip came up when the car was located. If LE could determine from the family that Beasley's description was accurate, and her hat was missing, that's the focus of the investigation. The focus would be, who is the man with the red car.

My guess is, at this point, there are LOTS of people who saw someone in a red car do something odd about two weeks ago but now it's been so long that they don't remember exactly what day and exactly where they saw it.

And no remains have been found in JT. Missed opportunities. IMHO.

Is it possible LE already know who the red car person is and are holding this info close to vest?

I think they do now.

If they knew all along the search warrant list would reflect that, IMHO.

 

[Mels3kidz]

Possibly. Unless she hadn't originally planned to actually leave with him. Something happens to change her mind and she decides to move the car before driving off with him.

Wouldn't she have just parked in the more hidden spot to begin with in this case - knowing she was going off in another car for the day? It makes little sense that she drove off with the guy leaving her car where the sister says she saw it first, only to return later to move it.
If that happened, I think the perp moved the car further back from the road.

Maybe it has been sealed. The other warrants did not reveal the probable cause statements. I believe those are sealed.

A Judge can seal any SW if he/she thinks releasing it will impede the ongoing investigation so there may be a SW on the red car and if it has been sealed then the media and the public wouldn't know about it.

 

[JeannaT]

Yes, the probable cause statements are sealed. I can't imagine why they'd release the warrants they did, and not the additional red car warrant if it was issued. But I guess there could be reasons. As it is, the other warrants were released without the attached affidavits.

 

[cluciano63]

Well, apparently the last person to have seen her alive is probably the man in the little red car. And I didn't see a search warrant issued for a little red car. Although some posters are wishing and hoping that was kept "secret" and in fact they DID issue a search warrant for it, that doesn't seem likely when you put the search warrants they released together with the knowledge that they stated they didn't know about the red car.

Did L.e come out and say they did not know? Or did "Facebook" say so?

 

[JeannaT]

Did L.e come out and say they did not know? Or did "Facebook" say so?

The informal family spokesperson, who seems to be very genuine and responsible and respectable, said they were told that by LE.

 

[Meemaw12]

I believe Mom said in early interviews, LE was NOT telling them much/anything so they couldn't slip up and say something that would hurt the case. Maybe this is why the family did'n't know about the red car.

Care to share why? Is it because you've read the rampant rumors online? If so, I suspect that at least 50% of us also have. Or is it because of past cases? Or some other reason I'm not putting together?

ETA: and I mean all of this in the best possible way. I like how involved you get in cases and enjoy debating with you.

 

[abbadabbado]

* note to self...stay outta SB county :desert::desert:....hoping against hope that LE is trying to put a lid on the public's boiling point so when all is said and done there can be NO mistrial due to world wide public opinion when it comes to that OR we could have a real miracle and a scared & overwhelmed young girl comes home.....just a thought.....

I agree that they're being told nothing at all ever, but doesn't it seem that LE would have said we've got a lot of tips that we're working on and can't reveal details. It's interesting that the family says they're not ever being updated and LE says they update the family regularly. There's a communication disconnect in there somewhere.

I never believe a rumor until I check it out. This checks out, IMHO. Man hope I don't have to pack for banned camp.

JC is Erin's husband, he would be the one to receive info about Erin, if anyone did, Imo. Maybe he is the one not sharing. Jmo
It would be his right.

 

[sophiebelle]

Join us 40 guests. Maybe you know something very helpful in finding Erin!

The last time it was published that LE sat down and met with family, it was with Erin's parents and the meeting was to determine what they could say in public. And then, crickets from the family except now DeAnna has said LE didn't know about the red car clue.

Yes, I think the "Where is Erin" rumors will prove true as well.

Do you have a link for the FB page? I can't find it when I Google it.
