so when john corwin reported that his wife aaron had disappeared, it was natural they would look at him. like with any investigation you start closest to the source of the missing person. so we had a lot of questions for john. investigators learned that one s childhood sweethearts aaron and john settled in 29 palms, things were far from perfect. the relationship wasn t intertwined, we knew that it was a relationship that was probably starting to dwindle. there was her miscarriage in early 2014. john said it was heartbreaking and aaron had trouble coping. she became very enclosed and depressed. would stay at home. and i m definitely not the one that actually speaks his emotions, i ve kept them bottled up my whole life. and she felt like i didn t care about her. and i did. it actually hurt me a whole lot. it really took a toll on our relationship. and aaron s mom, lore, knew the young married couple had
to visit the following month. we already had plans of just going for walks. we were going to go to san diego to see world in san diego zoo. but mostly spend time together. you both must have been really wanting, needing the strip. absolutely. in anticipation of her mother s visit, aaron told her husband she was going to scout out some good hiking locations at nearby joshua tree national park. she d woken up and got dressed, give me a kiss goodbye and said, hey, i m heading up for the day and i love you. i told her i love you too and rolled back over and went to sleep. a routine goodbye, or so it seemed until aaron core when vanished without a trace. coming up, what had happened to aaron? i called her throughout the night. how many times would you say you could try to call her text? or at least 50 times. i was just so stressed and worried. he said aaron s missing. he said she left yesterday morning and i haven t seen her since. john was concerned but he
