GUILTY CA - Erin Corwin, 19, pregnant, Twentynine Palms, 28 June 2014 - #6

[Mrs. Gladden]

I have been wondering about June 29th too. Good question, why couldn't NL alibi CL for that day? Was NL somewhere where others were around so she couldn't give CL an alibi? More than that I'd like to know just what's up with this June 29 date? Something happened on June 29 I bet. For now, I'm thinking CL had Erin's body hidden at the ranch the night of the 28th and moved it somewhere else the next day. Why I don't know, but I'm very suspicious of that date, June 29th.

The date was important enough for NL to mention it to that lady and for the information to end up in the Probable Cause.

Whatever it is, he was otherwise engaged and since he didn't have an alibi, my guess would be he was finishing up whatever he did to Erin. Obviously NL had an alibi.

Let's just say he was smart. Would he chance being clawed or bitten? Would he shoot close-up and chance blood spatter? Would he use a knife and chance having defense marks?

I'm willing to bet, whether he's smart or not, that he shot her from a distance.

Nothing messy about a quick neck snap. Fast, clean, no evidence if you hide the body well.

Wow! Does it really say that!?

You could be right cluciano63 but I still believe it was to stop the affair and pregnancy being revealed.

Oh, 100% that was the motive, Imo.

well, I tend to think they got this guy currently on his spud loader but what he actually did is not related.

that being said.. he still is charged for a felony on it and I think they are using it to hold him over. That is my two cents. And I DO want to know where in the hello the gun is that shot those spent shells found in the car.

Don't forget.. it would seem spud loader was found after he was off post so registration? not so much. my biggest question: why hide that 21 in the closet? witness said she didn't know it was there. Can a 21 fire 45 rounds?

BBM: Unfortunately he hasn't been charged with a crime yet. He was arrested and subsequently released, however, the case was forwarded to the DA's office to see IF they will file charges.

Love and lust make people do stupid things. So does loneliness. Who says her best friend didn't give her a talking to? Who says she wasn't ashamed? We don't know that. And what was her best friend supposed to do, tell EC's mom on her? EC was pregnant and far from home. There was nothing her best friend could do about that but support her. The damage was already done.

I guess the use of the word "celebrate" is freaking me out a little...just not seeing what there could be to celebrate in this situation but jmo...

Exactly! I believe Erin was dead by the 29th, so the only thing I can think of that was so important is that they hadn't disposed of Erin's body until the 29th. What else could be so important?

I too have an adulterous affair with my Jeep. I would not read too much into his calling his Jeep "The Mistress" or his "Ball and Chain". It's a term of endearment for we car/truck enthusiasts. Our wives/girlfriends often feel like they're being cheated on because we spend so much time working on/cleaning/driving them.

We were actually discussing her not being ashamed enough not to tell her BF. Clu said she'd be too ashamed to tell her BF if she was having an affair and pregnant by him. I was concurring with that, in as much that I would be as well, so I can't imagine what that convo was like between EC and her BFF. Her BFF may have lectured her on her decisions. Who knows, but I'm still stuck on the fact she even told her about it.

I'm one of those people who knows what it's like to leave your family and friends to follow your spouse to another state because he's in the military. I know about the loneliness and the lack for true friends in the military community. I was also 19 years old when I had to do it. However, I did not have an affair or get involved with another man while I was there.

Quite true. I thought of that, too. A little romantic moment just an instant before....but I discounted it because I don't know that he had ever been taught how to do that and if not, he might not chance it turning into a struggle.

I change my mind about every 30 seconds or so.

The cap...MB said it wasn't a vibrant color but dark.

Hmmm...would dark green fit?

If he needed June 29th to finish his Erin business, then there has to be a crime site and a dump site. There also must be someplace he hid the body in the meantime.

 

[Fascinated1]

There are several interesting ones she pinned.
For example:
"My doctor told me to start killing people. Well not those exact words. He said I have to reduce the stress in my life. Same thing"

Another:
"You cheated on me so now I have to kill you."

Could be just innocent pins but under the circumstances kind of eerie.

If you read thru it also looks like she also suffered a miscarriage. If hubby got someone else pregnant.......yikes. Sorry if I can't post this.

I was thinking in terms of the expense, i.e the money some men spend on another woman.

 

[Seajay]

If he killed her some other way than with the .40 caliber gun, then he must have gone hunting at another time and policed his area of shell casings before leaving which was why they were in the vehicle, but then why would have leave them in there, unless he was thinking the .40 shell casings were his "proof" he had been hunting that day.

MB said that the ball cap was the same color as the hat that the reporter had on. I'm assuming he was wearing a CBS8 ball cap. Does anyone know what the color of that was?

I don't think it's for us to judge anyone for their relationship choices. It kind of takes the focus away from the person or persons responsible for her disappearance. Some of us here may have been in a similar situation and may not appreciate the implied condemnation. No one knows the state of anyone else's mind and why they behave how they do.

Any locals PLEASE report when and where! Thanks!!

There was NO storm in 29 Palms on the 4th of July. I was home all day.

There was the huge storm in 29 Palms with hail, downed power lines, flooding, etc that went on for approx 45 min on the 5th of July.

I've had friends who have had affairs. No matter how happy they were in the affair, they were always conflicted. The more I objected, the "happier" the description of what was going on became. And it wasn't just me they were trying to convince. Eventually, I just learned to listen. Objecting wouldn't make them stop and would only serve to strain the friendship. And eventually, they would need someone to turn to when things went sour, as they do 99.9% of the time. I could be self-righteous or a good friend. I chose the latter. Happy people don't cheat. (Ok, happy people who aren't sociopaths don't cheat.)

People always talk. Someone always knows. Humans are social creatures.

I'm not justifying the affair. I just have lived long enough to know that even good people make really bad decisions sometimes and that what people present to the world to see is not always what they're really feeling. Even their BFF.
