Family is not giving up hope

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (WIVB) - Its been one month to the day since a Chautauqua County woman disappeared.

Corrie Anderson's family is not giving up hope that she is alive.

Corrie's mother Vicki Acquisto said, "It was just hard."

Thanksgiving was not the same for Corrie Anderson's mom and family.

Early Friday, they gathered at the missing woman's home to let people know that they still strongly believe she's alive.

Acquisto said, "It's just a mom's intuition and I know she's out there."

Corrie mysteriously disappeared October 28th.

Her vehicle was found in a nearby field a few days later.

State Police conducted extensive searches but no sign of the mother of three.

News 4's Lorey Schultz asked, "Where do you think Corrie is?"

Acquisto said, "I really feel someone has her held up some place. I'm not sure, in a basement. I just feel someone has her held up."

Police have interviewed individuals who may have had reason to harm Corrie.

That includes her estranged husband.

Apparently, she had a restraining order filed against him.

Police have not called him a suspect or person of interest in his wife's disappearance.

Schultz asked, "Is there anyone you know who might harm Corrie?"

Acquisto said, "There are some, but we can't state who they are."

Police continue to actively investigate. Corrie's family is doing its part. They've set up a reward fund for information leading to her whereabouts.

Corrie's sister Autumn Boardman became emotional when talking about it.

Boardman said, "The amount at this time is fifteen thousand dollars."

There's also a new web site - findcorrie.com.

Schultz asked, "Are you satisfied with police investigation so far?"

Boardman said, "We are happy with everything they're doing, however we are praying this does not become another unsolved case in Chautauqua County."

Crimestoppers is now handling any tips that come in.

Corrie's family plans to organize a community search once the weather permits.
