Erin Corwin was a 19-year-old woman from Tennessee who was tragically murdered in 2014 in the United States. However, her case is not specifically linked to online dating platforms. Erin was married to a U.S. Marine named Jonathan Corwin and was living in Twentynine Palms, California, at the time of her death.
Erin went missing in June 2014 after telling her husband she was going to Joshua Tree National Park. Her body was found almost two months later in a mine shaft. The investigation revealed that she was having an affair with Christopher Lee, a former Marine who lived near the Corwins. Lee was arrested and charged with her murder. It was determined that Erin was pregnant at the time, and Lee had allegedly killed her because he feared his wife would discover the affair.
Lee was convicted of first-degree murder in 2016 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. This case garnered significant media attention, not due to online dating platforms but rather because of the affair and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death.
