Tragic Erin Corwin – the newly pregnant 19-year-old woman killed and dumped in an abandoned mine-shaft in the California desert – was ‘super-excited’ at having a baby after suffering a miscarriage earlier this year, MailOnline can reveal. Erin was heart-broken when she lost her first baby in February after complications during a brief pregnancy. But friends say the young girl was thrilled to fall pregnant for a second time and was looking forward to having a healthy baby. This comes as the man accused of her murder and Erin’s alleged lover, former Marine Christopher Brandon Lee, was charged on Tuesday with killing her.
