Corinna Dell Novis was 20 when she was abducted from a Fontana mall and murdered on November 7, 1986. Originally from Gooding, Idaho, she had moved to Redlands, California earlier that year. Her remains were recovered days later in a shallow grave.

Investigators tied her killing to a crime spree carried out by James Marlow and Cynthia Coffman. Corinna’s checkbook was recovered on November 11, 1986, discarded in a dumpster along with documents bearing Marlow and Coffman’s names; that lead helped police locate the pair at a lodge in Big Bear City. The fugitives were captured while attempting to flee through the mountains wearing stolen clothing.

Marlow and Coffman were later convicted of Novis’s murder. Corinna’s family lost a young woman who had moved to California to build a future; her death is one among several violent crimes attributed to the couple. Does anyone have memories of Corinna from Gooding or Redlands, or information about her last day at the mall?
