"48 Hours: NCIS" sneak peek: The Marine's Wife | Forensic Files

[Music] Joshua Tree National Park is a very large and desolate area there's not a
lot of water in these areas and it gets very hot during the day and very cold at
night it's a beautiful area the Joshua trees are like something out of a dr. Seuss book
Aaron Corwin was a 19 year old pregnant marine wife on June 28 2014 Erin woke up
her husband John Corwin about 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning the initial story we received was Aaron had gone to Joshua
Tree National Park to look for nice hiking routes for her and her mother John called and he said Aaron's missing
and I'm like what do you mean Aaron's missing and my first thought is she's gotten lost erin has no sense of
direction I actually got a call from the base commander saying that he had sent out troops to help look for her and they
had found nothing it becomes very drastic at that point she's not very large and she's not gonna
last long out there [Music] there is a massive search-and-rescue to locate Aaron Corps when they searched in
temperatures that climbed as high as 110 115 the dogs were getting heatstroke they even encountered killer bees it was
a really grueling tough search you don't know what the monster is in the dark in
the closet out there I think a lot of people first became familiar with Joshua Tree National Park through the album
Joshua Tree by the Irish band u2 that came out in the 1980s and there's a song on that album called mothers of the
disappeared but the words really spoke with what I felt like Laura must have gone through
not knowing where her daughter was and out in the desert where the Joshua trees were she was out there somewhere it was
big news for such a small area everybody was talking about it people were looking
for her there was buzz on base we know that she is out there it's just a matter of us
trying to figure out exactly where John did tell me that he thought she'd taken a Gatorade which is nothing in those
situations he sounded concerned there wasn't a lot of emotion in his voice but John that's John there seemed to be
evidence that he liked to keep an eye on Aaron and make sure that he knew where she was you're not pointing fingers you
want to find where Aaron is you're questioning him of course when was the last time you saw her where did she say
she was gonna go does she have any friends Aaron was not the type of person who would just leave and not tell anyone her
husband was calling her her mother was calling her her friends were calling her and it went straight to voicemail that
was a sign that something was wrong when they handed me that car that said special investigative homicide team it
just makes your heart sink the NCIS mission is global we're on aircraft carriers we're in
foreign ports we watch after each other we take care of each other NCIS deal with every type of chronic
cyber fraud murder general crimes counterintelligence counterterrorism every crime is a tragedy involved
