WATE-TV reports
friends and supporters from Erin's hometown of Oak Ridge hosted the
fundraiser at Little Ponderosa Zoo to raise money the family can use for
a reward.
Little Ponderosa Zoo James Cox told WATE-TV:
"We hope somebody
will come around and tell the whereabouts of this family's child and get
them home. I can't imagine the pain of what they're going through of
just not knowing. Just waiting on that phone call and just not knowing.
According to the Desert Sun,
there are no new updates in the disappearance of Corwin, who was last
seen alive by her husband, Marine Corporal Jon Corwin, on June 28.
The couple lived on base at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms. Court documents suggest Erin Corwin may have been having a romantic relationship with neighbor and Marine veteran Christopher Lee.
Corwin's friends back in Tennessee explained to WBIR-TV that her love of animals prompted them to hold their fundraiser at a zoo.
