Kristi Cornwell’s Remains Found By Her Brother, Police Hold Press Conference

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

MISSING: Kristi Cornwell

MISSING: Kristi Cornwell

UPDATE: Georgia Bureau of Investigatons confirms remains found over the weekend are the remains of missing mother, Kristi Cornwell.  A press conference is scheduled today at 2 p.m. – Stay tuned… 

Hard to believe it’s been more than one year Kristi Cornwell was abducted in Georgia. Kristi’s mom, Jo Ann Cornwell, told me over the phone recently, “I am not giving up hope, I have not been given any reason to believe she is not alive… it hurts my heart.”

 

The last anyone heard from Kristi was one year ago today when she was exercising in Blairsville. Investigators say around 9:00 p.m. Kristi was on the phone with her boyfriend, who was in Atlanta at the time, when a car approached her. There was a struggle, and she was never seen again. A reward of $50,000 is offered for information leading to the safe return of Kristi, or the arrest/conviction of the person responsible for her disappearance.

Kristi’s family is extremely proactive in this case. They started a website, they have frequent, sometimes daily searches of the area where she went missing, and they even auctioned off the family’s lake house property over the weekend to raise money to help find this missing mother. More than 80,000 post cards have been purchased and distributed with Kristi’s face on them. “Somebody out there has got to know something, or someone has seen something and doesn’t think it’s important yet,” said Jo Ann.

KRISTI CORNWELL MISSING

The last anyone heard from Kristi Cornwell was on August 11, 2009.  Since then, investigators say an anonymous grandmother wrote a letter into the Cherokee County Sheriff’s department and said her grandson was working in the area at the time Kristi was hit and abducted.  A formal letter released by Cherokee County Sheriff’s says,”Evidence has been obtained which lead investigators to believe that between August 1st and August 25, 2009 that the described person was in the Western North Carolina area working for a relative, specifically his grandmother, and that he was doing some handy man work.  The person was believed to have been driving a white Nissan Exterra with a brush guard and would have been bearing a Florida tag.”  Kristi’s family is begging that grandmother to come forward today with more information to help solve Kristi’s case.

Kristi Cornwell Missing

On December 20, 2009, Kristi Cornwell’s friends and family are planning a candlelight vigil to celebrate Kristi’s 39th birthday.  The community is gathering at Meeks Park, Highway 515, in Blairsville, Georgia.  If you cannot attend, the family is requesting the public to stop to pray at 7 p.m. for her safe return.  Along with Kristi’s birthday, the holidays are here too.  This is an extremely difficult time for those close to her to spend this holiday season without their loved one.  My thoughts and prayers to Kristi’s family and friends, and I hope she is found very soon.
