Or crashing a party that might've been held at the residence (based on balloon being visible inside of the apartment in the video, and beverage containers, helium cannisters visible on the porch), and then causing trouble at the party ? So crash a party, caused trouble, assault someone would then be classified as an 'invasion' ?

Maybe or Trespassing?

"Her kids are struggling," Rachel's brother, Michael Morin, tells The Messenger. "They have a lot of questions and just want to see their mother."

"While it may not be today or tomorrow, at some point, the police will find that clue that leads them to the killer," Michael says.

Now, the law firm of Rice, Murtha, Psoras, which represents the Morin family, is launching a digital campaign that leverages "various online platforms and communication channels to ensure that Spanish-speaking individuals in Harford County, Maryland, and Los Angeles, CA, are informed about the incident."

That decision was made after firm staff realized that members of the Hispanic community in Harford County were unaware of the details surrounding Morin's death.

The firm said in a press statement on Tuesday that its law team has "reason to believe that individuals within the Hispanic community may have valuable information that could aid in identifying the suspect."

The law firm said that "that language should never be a barrier to justice."

He is managing to travel long distances without being detected. That’s not very easy to do. Either he has some sort of connections (family/gang) to these locations or he’s just winging it and driving cross country to random states. My feeling is that it’s #1. It’s not easy to stay under the radar. They, (LE), must have traffic cam footage of all cars arriving/leaving those areas. I don’t believe this guy is traveling cross country on foot. Has LE said anything about how he’s getting around ?
He could’ve easily left the country several times, but didn’t. 1) California he’s about a 3 hour drive from the border to Mexico but he travels to
2) Baltimore.where he could’ve gone down the coast to Miami, then Cuba, South America, or Mexico. But he travels to 3) Chicago….So Is he part of a larger group with “business dealings” in these specific locations? Or is he a lone wolf? I have no idea….but I’m guessing LE does. If he was in the country on a 90 day visa he could already be gone. DHS/LE will have to extradite him if they want to bring him back. Hopefully he’s not from Chile.

How exactly would he be detected though? That's the frustrating part ...

He either has friends and family in Baltimore, MD. Or recently employed in the region but traveled to Baltimore to commit his crime.
He is a drifter, hitchhikes, jumps trains, and steals cars to travel undetected.
La to Baltimore is an interesting destination. Perhaps he was visiting LA and then returned home to Baltimore.

I hope that the California assault victim could assist with a sketch. It’s going to be a difficult task for the average citizen to recognize a murderer by his back and haircut.

The LAPD should release a sketch based on the DNA. I wonder what it would reveal?

"Virginia authorities used DNA to create a sketch in a decades-old homicide. Then they got a phone call that unraveled the case."

I would settle for a clear photograph from the door cam. They keep replaying the video. They could create a still shot of his face, granted it is a side view, but use the best FBI imagery tools they have to clean it up and publicize it.

It did not help with Libby and Abby, but I’m guessing imaging technology has improved since 2017.

I'd like to see a cleaned-up still of that video too.
I hope they use all the tools they have to catch this creep ASAP.

The family knew it was time to add a new course of action when they realized not everyone was getting the news of what happened.

"The two canvassings that we already had, we discovered an extremely large population of the Bel Air Hispanic community had absolutely no idea that a crime had been committed,” said MM, father of Morin's first child.

The campaign will leverage various online platforms and communication channels to ensure that Spanish-speaking individuals in Maryland, Harford County, and Los Angeles, CA, are informed about the crime and provided with access to the video footage of the suspect.

"We can target specific areas and we can target specific websites as well as Spanish speaking websites to narrow down our group of people that we're trying to reach," said Rice.

They did not base a sketch on just DNA, they identified relatives of the unknown suspect via his DNA, then looked for male relatives.


From the article

" They worked with an outside lab that was able to use DNA evidence to identify the suspect’s biological relatives and produce a sketch of what the suspect might look like,"

That would be really hard to do!
My DNA shows that I have blue eyes, white complexion, possibly wavy light brown hair. All that is true, but really can't do a sketch on it.

If he's Latino the DNA will show the percentage of Native-American. However, 50% Native-American (which is one of the the most common) is not a good phenotype predictor. If he's 85% or more, than it's likely, he will have more NA features.
Other than that, we see the dark hair, decreased body hair. His complexion is tan with warm undertones. It likely has seasonal variations and tans easily. We can assume his eyes are brown. The camera shows all of this anyway.

Getting things like brows, eye size, eye lashes, nose, check bones, and lip shapes from DNA has gotta be tons of work and may be pseudoscience. Also DNA will not show things like scars or fractures etc.

Damn, It would be way too vague without finding possible relatives first. I hope they find a hit or two from the DNA.
Take a look at this:

Damn, I was hopeful it might help.

I was thinking of this:
