The DeLand Police Department is actively seeking the public's assistance in locating Katie Leigh Corwin, a 38-year-old woman wanted for questioning in the murder of Joseph Spruck. The investigation began after Spruck's body was discovered on May 18 at his residence located along East Tall Pine Terrace. The discovery followed reports from family members who had been unable to contact Spruck for several days leading up to the incident. While a 27-year-old man, Austin Kersey of DeLand, was previously indicted by a grand jury on charges of first-degree murder regarding Spruck's death, Corwin remains at large and is a person of interest in the case. In addition to being sought for questioning in the homicide, Corwin is subject to an open felony warrant with nationwide pickup authority. This warrant is related to charges of possession of a Schedule II substance, and she has no bond set. Police have released a physical description of Corwin, identifying her as 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Authorities have noted that her appearance may have changed since the warrant was issued. The DeLand Police Department is urging anyone with information regarding Corwin's whereabouts to come forward. Individuals who see Corwin or have knowledge of her location are asked to contact the DeLand Police Department directly by calling 386-626-7400. Alternatively, tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida. The tip line operates 24/7 and can be reached at 1-888-277-8477. Tips may also be submitted online or via the P3 TIPS mobile application for Android and iOS devices, which allows for the secure attachment of photos, videos, and documents. Investigators emphasize that providing specific details about the suspect, vehicle, or location is crucial. Individuals whose information is new, crucial to the investigation, and directly leads to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $5,000. The public is encouraged to assist in this ongoing investigation to help bring those involved in the case to justice.
