News Release

Rachel Morin Update and New Details

This week marked six months since Rachel Morin was needlessly and tragically killed while on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air. We sat down with Captain Andy Lane, who is overseeing the investigation to find Rachel’s killer to record this Special Edition of Into The Sheriff’s Spotlight with never before released details. We hope you will take a listen.

Over the last six months detectives have conducted more than 100 interviews and followed up on more than 1,000 tips. Their investigation has led them to seven different states with ten federal, state, and local agencies assisting. Thousands of bi-lingual flyers have been distributed in Maryland and California. This investigation has not slowed or stalled.

Just this week, we were able to finalize a sketch of the suspect. Listen to Captain Lane explain how the sketch was developed and then please, take a look and share the sketch. We believe there are still people who can provide information. Detectives believe the killer may have been in the area for days before the crime. While he was here, where did he stay? Who did he speak to? Where did he work? If you have a tip, please continue to send information to RMTips@harfordsheriff.org; the reward stands at $35,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

As you listen to the podcast and view the sketch, please keep Rachel’s family in your thoughts. As Captain Lane offers, “remember Rachel, remember the area she was in, … if anyone remembers anything moving forward…those small details can be the details that break the case open”.

In closing, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the community for its support throughout this challenging time. Your cooperation and solidarity are invaluable as we strive to find answers and deliver justice.
