HARFORD COUNTY, MARYLAND: While investigating the murder of Rachel Morin, the police has issued a warning regarding her alleged killer, reportedly stating that “he'll do something harmful to someone else”.
The Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler issued the warning after a video was shared online of a man, suspected of being involved in Morin’s death. The Daily Mail reported that the footage was from March when the man stormed into a Los Angeles house and sexually abused a girl.
The unidentified person has been “described as being approximately 5ft 9 inches 160lbs, approximately 20-30 years of age, dark hair, muscular build and is believed to be of Hispanic decent.”
The man has been linked to Morin’s case because his DNA reportedly matched the one found where Morin's body was discovered.
What did Harford County Sheriff say about Rachel Morin's suspect?
Gahler told Fox News Digital, “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.”
“This person has an absolute disregard for the sanctity of human life and, until he’s arrested, there is a threat he’ll do something harmful to someone else,” the sheriff asserted.
“I just don’t believe you do two things that are so serious in nature and that’s your starting point. Most likely you’ve been involved in other crimes,” he stated
Colonel William Davis added, “We believe this was a person that Rachel didn't know, potentially a random act of violence. We know nothing more about him other than he was in LA in March and we believe him to be the murderer.”
What happened to Rachel Morin?
The 37-year-old woman had reportedly gone for a walk on the Ma and Pa Trail in Bel Air on August 5 when she went missing. However, the search for her ended in tragedy as on August 6, her body was found.
At the time, Gahler said, “We firmly believe this is the body of Rachel Morin. But that final determination belongs with the medical examiner and that has not happened yet.”
However, it was confirmed that the remains were indeed of the single mother-of-five.
