Corrine Erstad: Missing Since June 1, 1992

In the summer of 1992, when the warm breeze drifted through the tree-lined streets of this quiet suburb, a small child’s laughter should have filled the air. Instead, the neighborhood was plunged into a decades-long nightmare. On June 1, 5-year-old Corrine vanished after leaving her home to play at a nearby park. She has never been found.

From the moment Corrine’s mother first dialed 911 until the final gavel fell in a tense courtroom, her disappearance has been mired in suspicion, fraught family dynamics, and legal controversy. Today, more than 30 years later, the case remains unsolved—a stark reminder of a child lost, a family fractured, and a justice system’s limitations in the early years of DNA forensics.
