Rachel Morin update: Killer ‘still poses a threat’ as Maryland police struggle to identify suspect

Harford County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland Police
Rachel Morin: Maryland police release CCTV of suspect

Loved ones gathered on Sunday to honor Rachel Morin’s memory as her killer remains at large weeks after she was found dead on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland.

The 37-year-old’s heartbroken mother shared what she felt when she found out her daughter’s body had been found.

“The pain was so unbearable,” Patty Morin said.

Morin was found dead after heading off for a walk along on the trail on 6 August.

Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler recently told Fox News that identifying and catching the suspect is a “top priority” amid fears that he could do “something harmful to someone else”.

“This individual poses a threat to every community from here to Los Angeles because we don’t know where he’s laying his head at night,” Sheriff Gahler said.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office revealed that DNA found at the scene of Morin’s murder had been matched to the DNA left at a home where an unknown man broke into a home in Los Angeles and violently attacked a young girl back in March.

“The public will not be safe until we get him in custody,” Sheriff Gahler said.
