Sunday, the Corvette Club immediately acted just like a family would.

They got together and started looking, trying to find out what happened.

They're probably one of the more well-organized search parties because they had flyers, they had groups.

Nobody found anything and everybody went home on Sunday.

Monday is when Tina's body was found in the avalanche on Brannock.

One of the neighbors, they see a foot sticking out from a blanket and call the police.

Word came that there was a body and that shattered our hopes.

Tina's dead.

They were sure they had a homicide.

Obviously, Joseph Corona was a suspect at the beginning.

My husband's always the first suspect.

Joe turned at me and looked and said, well, you're my alibi.

He was with me the entire day.

When they see Tina Corona in the backseat wrapped up with blankets, obviously this is not a suicide, it's not a natural cause.

They know they have a homicide.

They find no gunshot wounds, no knife wounds.

I would put Tina in my top five friends from my lifetime.

She made you feel that special, and she was that special.

but he had a great sense of humor, and he was a funny guy to be around, and I actually did enjoy being around him.

There's Tina.
