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

[Earnjul11]

YouTube of the Ma and Pa Trail in BelAir. You can see houses close by to the right of the trail. Shows tunnel at 3:40 mark. I don’t see any drain swails in the tunnel.

It’s my understanding that she was not found in this tunnel. She was found in a tunnel in the woods that is off of the pathway.

Not sure about boyfriends, but the most recent custody case per the MD judicial site was 2017 I believe?

Yes, and not resolved until 2022...his petition to modify visitation was denied.

.

Go to maps at highway 24 where the tunnel travels under it shows there was a pathway/tunnel next to it. It shows up when in transit.

Agreed, I believe there are at least two tunnels, one is a shorter and lighter on in the daytime, and the other is longer and darker towards the middle ?
Omo.

Ugh. Some of those comments are quite frankly repulsive.
Keyboard Warriors. The kind who post trash anonymously but face to face wouldnt dare say anything so vile.
Should be some sort of criminal charge in those incidences but that's JMO

Feel sick reading some of those.

Hope Rachel's children and close family are receiving all the love and support they need. Deepest sympathies for them. ♥

Agreed. Totally inappropriate comments. The internet can be a dark place.

I think some people want very badly to believe that some person she knew did this to her...because that means if you don't let the wrong people in your life, you are safe...and this won't happen to you or your loved ones. The alternative is that a stranger may have been out hunting that day, and may have prayed upon the smallest most venerable individual they came across...and in that scenario no one is safe...and some people don't like the anxiety that alternative provokes in them.

People seem to be ignoring the obvious...she was very petite (5'2" 100 lbs), alone, and wearing running clothes that probably made it easy to tell that she was likely not carrying a concealed self-defense weapon on her person. These are things that a potential predator may be looking for in deciding which target they are going to select. Predators are generally looking for a victim that will be less difficult for them to control.

Yes I think she was found off the trail. I listened to the scanner which described it differently.

Is this tunnel out of the way?

Like you would have a hard time finding it, if you didn't know where it was?

Jeff Gahler is very no nonsense in his approach to law enforcement in the county. imo

It's a drainage tunnel, not a walking tunnel.

Her friend's dad needs to quit talking.

Some of the stuff he says is odd. Jmo

NYP has an article about him.

the article must have been done with AI or some other translator program the word "trifling" was out of context.

The word "trifling" wasn't mentioned.

This is a new article just out today.

He mentioned that bc of the condition of the remains suggested that she had been murdered.

Thanks for the link !
Sounds like the case is in competent hands.

I'm getting a feeling that LE are leaning more towards a crime of opportunity, aka a random attacker ?
I believe it will be solved and there'll be justice for Rachel !
Omo.

Something just doesn't sit right with me regarding the guy that found her body. To tell the police to search the tunnels, before her body was found in the very same tunnel is really odd. I think I would be looking closer at him to see where he was at the time of her disappearance. Rachel was known to him, through his daughter. Perhaps he had an obsession.

Mr Gabriszeski said he told police to search tunnels that exist around the Ma and Pa Trail because he had a bad feeling about them.

“I kept telling them to search the tunnels because I had a feeling about those tunnels,” Mr Gabriszeski said.

“I walked forward to search the one tunnel, and they searched the one, and that’s where they found her.”

Mr Gabriszeski reported Morin’s body to the police around 1.30pm on Sunday. The Bel Air mother was found in a tunnel off of a trail.

After viewing maps of the trail over and over, I suggested the tunnel iirc 2 days ago.

Another thing that I thought was odd, was that bc of how the condition of her remains were, suggested to him that she had been murdered.

Those are all points, but the obvious is that the most recent statistics in the US (2021 is the most recent I've found on numerous sites) say that women were murdered by someone they know 76%-88% of the time (some relationships are unknown so they're a gray area). Here's one source.

 

[Elley Mae]

Looking for news in the area, found this.

Its like 20-24 miles from Bel air.

Not just women, but people in general are usually killed by someone they know
