YEAR LATER: Family haunted by Corona golfer's death

It was Mother's Day, so Debbie Blasberg was at San Juan Hills Golf Club.

For six years, she'd made a personal tradition of playing the course nestled in the San Juan Capistrano hills, taking advantage of the free round offered as a special thank you to mom golfers like herself.

She always liked the course, and she was in good company, in fine spirits; all was well, except that she finished her round without hearing from her daughter.

Understandable, considering Erica was scheduled to be getting settled in preparation for that week's Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament in Alabama, but still, it felt odd.

Regardless of where in the country she might have been playing, Erica always called during Debbie's Mother's Day round. "Like clockwork," Debbie said.

Erica always was that kind of kid, considerate, thoughtful, dropping by with breakfast burritos or doughnuts, doting on her mom with handbags or flowers.

Debbie felt uneasy when she still hadn't heard from Erica by the time she retired early that evening. "I hope everything's OK," she remembers thinking.

Her budding concern was alleviated when she awoke the next morning and saw she had a voice mail.
