Found Deceased MD - Rachel Morin, 37, left for walk on Ma & Pa Trail 6pm, car found at Williams St entrance, Bel Air, 5 Aug 2023 #3

APR 16, 2024
Randolph Rice, the Morin family attorney, and Patty Morin, Rachel’s mother, joined NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas on Monday to discuss the latest details in the mystery. One suspicion they have is that the suspected killer has left the country.

“We know he’s a Hispanic male. We know he has the propensity to travel from California to Maryland,” Rice said during an appearance on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.” “He may be willing to travel out of the country.”

“Nobody’s safe until he’s caught. Nobody, anywhere, 'cause we don’t know where he could be now. We don’t know where he’s going,” Shannon Morin, Rachel’s sister-in-law, says.

“Someone knows this guy. I know there’s someone that recognizes this guy,” Rachel’s brother, Michael Morin, says.

The family of Rachel Morin hopes the commercial will help bring her justice.

“If you had a chance to stop a notorious serial killer when it was still early, like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy, what would you do to stop them,” Shannon says. “Women should be able to feel safe going out for a jog and not feel like they're gonna get killed.”

The family of Rachel Morin, who was found dead on a popular Maryland nature trail last August, released a commercial pleading for justice in the murder investigation. Patty Morin, Rachel's mother, and Randolph Rice, the Morin family attorney, join NewsNation's Elizabeth Vargas to discuss the latest details.
 
I'm still struck by that seemingly casual exit from the front door of a home invasion - where there was an assault of a young female. It still makes no sense.

Kudos to Rachel's family, for their unceasing efforts to keep her murder in the media and minds of the public. My heart goes out to them :(
 

Can it be "our" man possibly? Is it his stature?
If LE have his DNA, it could be clarified. Unfortunately, he is still at large.

My initial reaction is that the man in your link looks like he has a darker skin tone than the RM suspect. Good spot though, definitely someone to check and rule in or out
MOO

I don't know if it is the same pattern, but I once knew a young girl from a poor inner city community. Her (much older) boyfriend went to jail and in the meantime, his best friend was "taking care" of her. In criminal circles, it is not uncommon. I think, the danger is that an unattended female might find someone on her own and say too much about the "business", or God forbid, have an affair with a guy from the rival gang. So it is a "safety" issue.
For some reason, his behavior reminds me of that situation. She knows "the spiel" and he comes to claim his own. Perhaps her parents were unaware.

Respectfully, I disagree that this scenario explains the perpetrator's peculiar-seeming exit from the home. If you haven't already listened, it might help to go back to post #151 in this thread by @PommyMommy, it's the sheriff's spotlight interview that explains a lot about the home invasion and what happened there. It wasn't a female victim escorting him from the home as many here speculated, it was a young male relative.

The LA crime was described by the sheriff in this interview as a "violent home invasion" in which multiple persons including minors were injured/attacked. The attack was interrupted by a what the sheriff calls a "very young, male member of the family" who forced the attacker from the home. The investigators described that if not for the actions of this young male family member (including shouting to wake up other family members and getting the attacker out of the home), they have no doubt that this assault would have ended the same way as the attack on Rachel did.

New information for me
Thank you..
@PommyMommy ...thank you too.

It is perplexing but still doesn't prove he didn't break in assaulting someone and a young pre-teen managed to talk him into leaving especially if he was drunk or on drugs.
Shocked no one knows or recognizes him.

The victim and her brother were brave.
 
Thanks...maybe a post was deleted in there somewhere getting the numbering off from when I last checked it. Definitely a post that is well worth reviewing!
Have not yet listened/read, possibly this post #152

Thanks for posting this @FromGermany1

I agree though with @OrangeCash though his skin tone does seem a much darker skin tone.

My thoughts go out to the victim - I hope she’s got a good support network around her

That video really shows the dangers of tailgating

For anyone interested, McM (father of Rachel’s oldest child) walks and describes trails along the Ma&Pa Heritage trail.
Video is (4+ minutes) not an approved source. Creator is storytellers.

Thought the visual helpful, eerie, and sad.

The perpetrator needs to be caught before it strikes again. moo
 
I'm late to the party, sorry y'all.. when that shirtless suspect is exiting the house in LA, have we noticed that there seems to be someone closing the door? He left his DNA but no one in LA is talking? Or do you all think that assumption is false?

Both of these issues have been addressed and discussed at length in earlier threads.

LAPD know what happened, of course; if the family living in the South Los Angeles home hadn’t alerted authorities, no DNA with which to compare would have been collected.

After much specious theorizing, it appears that the owner of the arm belongs to an underage resident and brother to at least one of the underage victims. He has not been implicated in the home invasion and multiple subsequent assaults by this lone suspect, and this is a point emphasized by LE.

Further, after the DNA matched, investigators into the murder traveled to states other than Maryland and California—possibly to track down family or likely associates of the suspect—and it would appear that these decisions were made after the Los Angeles family, once again, were interviewed. That we are not privy to the details does not mean they are not known or that victims are not cooperating.
 
I still can’t shake the feeling that the killer had seen Rachel somewhere else before attacking her on the trail and targeted her specifically. Followed her from another location perhaps?

I will go back and review the timeline. She was a very striking looking woman.

Or maybe it was purely a coincidence that they were both on the trail at the same time?

All IMO.
