Woman’s body found off of popular trail believed to be missing Maryland woman
Maryland detectives investigating the homicide of missing mother-of-five Rachel Morin have said they do not yet have a solid suspect yet in the case and warned members of the community to be vigilant.
“Not knowing whether this was a targeted event specific to Rachel, we are going to say, ‘yes, be aware, be thinking there could be somebody out here and this is a random event’,” Harford County sheriff Jeffery Gahler told WBALTV.
Morin, 37, was last seen heading to the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air at around 6pm on Saturday evening, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
After she failed to return home that night, her boyfriend Richard Tobin reported her missing.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, Maryland father Michael Gabriszeski discovered a woman’s body in a tunnel off the trail that was later confirmed to be Morin.
Sheriff Gahler announced that her case is now a murder investigation at a press conference that evening.
Rebekah Morin, the deceased’s sister, started a GoFundMe to pay for funeral expenses. As of Thursday morning, it has raised almost $41,000.
