Latest / Beyond The Horizon / Mega Edition: The Murder Of Rachel Morin (10/5/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the program. A
- 0:03Speaker 1: woman from Maryland named Rachel Morin was found dead on
- 0:08Speaker 1: a hiking trail on Sunday. Now Saturday at around 6 p.m.
- 0:14Speaker 1: she left her house to take that hike and she
- 0:16Speaker 1: was never seen again. Her body was discovered near the
- 0:20Speaker 1: hiking trail on Sunday. Well now her new boyfriend, a
- 0:24Speaker 1: fella named Richard Tobin, is taking to social media and
- 0:29Speaker 1: denying that he had anything to do with her murder.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Now look, before we even get into this article, I
- 0:35Speaker 1: have no idea who's responsible for what happened here. But
- 0:39Speaker 1: we do know that after somebody is murdered... One of
- 0:43Speaker 1: the first people that's looked at is the significant other,
- 0:47Speaker 1: a boyfriend, an ex-husband, whatever it might be. So of course, Mr.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Tobin is going to be looked at here. But let's
- 0:55Speaker 1: keep in mind that that doesn't mean that he is
- 0:59Speaker 1: the one who killed Rachel Morin. We don't have all
- 1:02Speaker 1: of those details yet, and certainly none of the answers.
- 1:05Speaker 1: So let's dive into this article, and let's see what
- 1:09Speaker 1: we can come up with. Today's article was published by
- 1:13Speaker 1: Daily Mail and the headline, Rachel Morin's boyfriend pleads his
- 1:17Speaker 1: innocence after a mother of five's body was found on
- 1:21Speaker 1: a Maryland trail. This article was authored by Claudia Araja.
- 1:27Speaker 1: The new boyfriend of murdered mother Rachel Morin has taken
- 1:31Speaker 1: to social media to insist he had nothing to do
- 1:34Speaker 1: with the killing despite his criminal past. And anytime you
- 1:38Speaker 1: have a criminal past, and your girlfriend or your boyfriend
- 1:42Speaker 1: ends up missing, it's going to be quite the scene
- 1:45Speaker 1: for you, at least in the very beginning of the investigation,
- 1:49Speaker 1: because all eyes are going to turn to you right away.
- 1:52Speaker 2: But like I said earlier, we have to be cautious.
- 1:55Speaker 1: We don't know all the details yet, and how many
- 1:58Speaker 1: times have we seen the internet especially jump to conclusions
- 2:03Speaker 1: and finger the wrong person? Mom of five, Rachel Morin, 37,
- 2:08Speaker 1: disappeared on Saturday, August 5th at around 6 p.m., leaving
- 2:12Speaker 1: her house to take a hike on the Mon Pas
- 2:14Speaker 1: Trail in Bel Air, Maryland. It's unclear who she was
- 2:19Speaker 1: hiking with, but her new boyfriend, Richard Tobin, reported her missing.
- 2:23Speaker 1: So did she go hiking alone? Was Richard with her
- 2:27Speaker 1: at the time? And if not, who was? The pair
- 2:31Speaker 1: had only made their relationship official on social media four
- 2:34Speaker 1: days earlier. So there's a lot you can extrapolate from that.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Did she have an ex-boyfriend that was jealous? Somebody that
- 2:42Speaker 1: she was dating previously who was jealous? Who saw that
- 2:45Speaker 1: she's in a new relationship and that flipped the switch? Again,
- 2:49Speaker 1: all speculation.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Who knows?
- 2:52Speaker 1: But there are other possibilities other than Richard Tobin here.
- 2:56Speaker 1: And right now, you know that the detectives are working
- 2:59Speaker 1: on all of that behind the scenes as they try
- 3:02Speaker 1: and put together exactly what went down. The medical examiner
- 3:07Speaker 1: has not yet revealed how Morin died, but a homicide
- 3:11Speaker 1: investigation has been launched. Her family says she did not
- 3:15Speaker 1: go willingly and that her death was not accidental. As
- 3:20Speaker 1: questions around the woman's death arose on Sunday, Tobin took
- 3:24Speaker 1: to social media to insist he had nothing to do
- 3:27Speaker 1: with it. I love Rachel. I would never do anything
- 3:31Speaker 1: to her. Let the family and I grieve. Yes, I
- 3:34Speaker 1: have a past, but I also have 15 months clean
- 3:37Speaker 1: and have changed as a person. Please. Tobin has been
- 3:41Speaker 1: arrested 14 times since 2014 on a variety of charges,
- 3:46Speaker 1: including drug dealing, assault, disorderly conduct, and refusing arrest. Certainly
- 3:52Speaker 1: not the profile that you would want if your girlfriend
- 3:55Speaker 1: goes missing, right? You're going to be one of the
- 3:57Speaker 1: first people that they talk to. And I'm not saying
- 4:00Speaker 1: that this dude had nothing to do with it. I
- 4:02Speaker 1: have no idea. But I hope they don't get tunnel
- 4:05Speaker 1: vision here and only look at Richard Tobin. There might
- 4:09Speaker 1: be somebody else out there. So hopefully all avenues are
- 4:12Speaker 1: being explored. His lengthy rap sheet includes two arrests for
- 4:17Speaker 1: criminal second-degree assault, violating restraining orders, drug possession, and malicious
- 4:23Speaker 1: destruction of property. None of that sounds good, and it
- 4:27Speaker 1: doesn't paint a pretty picture of Mr.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Tobin.
- 4:30Speaker 1: But even with that lengthy rap sheet, we can't just
- 4:33Speaker 1: automatically assume that Mr. Tobin is the one responsible. We've
- 4:38Speaker 1: covered enough of these stories to know that things go
- 4:40Speaker 1: left very quickly. Tobin also has a number of traffic offenses,
- 4:45Speaker 1: a fugitive from justice offense, resisting arrest, and disorderly intoxication
- 4:51Speaker 1: and conduct marks on his record documents show. His most
- 4:55Speaker 1: recent misdemeanor on record, second-degree assault, occurred March 14, 2022,
- 5:01Speaker 1: so it shows that he has the propensity to be violent. Again,
- 5:05Speaker 1: not a good mark in the category of Mr. Tobin
- 5:09Speaker 1: not being involved. But we have to wait for everything
- 5:12Speaker 1: to shake out, and I think it's relatively early for
- 5:15Speaker 1: us to be pointing the finger at anybody here. In
- 5:18Speaker 1: an update to their recent statement on Sunday, Harford County
- 5:22Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office said at approximately 1.07 p.m. a female was
- 5:27Speaker 1: located deceased off of the Mont Patrel in Bel Air.
- 5:31Speaker 1: The identity of the victim, as well as the cause
- 5:34Speaker 1: and manner of death, are still under investigation. We firmly
- 5:39Speaker 1: believe this is the body of Rachel Morin, but that
- 5:41Speaker 1: final determination belongs with the medical examiner and that has
- 5:46Speaker 1: not happened yet. Thankfully, we don't have too much violent
- 5:50Speaker 1: crime in Hartford County, but when we have one, I
- 5:54Speaker 1: prefer when I can stand here and tell you that
- 5:56Speaker 1: the suspect has been arrested or that it's a targeted crime.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I can't tell you that in this case. I don't
- 6:03Speaker 1: know how much we can read into that statement considering
- 6:06Speaker 1: it's so early on here, my guess is that the
- 6:09Speaker 1: sheriff is playing things close to his vest. And my
- 6:12Speaker 1: guess is that they know a lot more than they're
- 6:14Speaker 1: sharing at this point. I'm not going to get into
- 6:18Speaker 1: what physically they observed at the scene, but investigators believe, sadly,
- 6:22Speaker 1: that it's a homicide case. So whatever they saw at
- 6:26Speaker 1: the scene led the investigators to believe that this was
- 6:29Speaker 1: a homicide. Now, we don't know what the scene looked like,
- 6:33Speaker 1: but you can only imagine what they ran into when
- 6:36Speaker 1: If they said to themselves, all right, look, this is
- 6:39Speaker 1: obviously a homicide. If it was a slip and fall,
- 6:43Speaker 1: they'd be able to tell. If she had some sort
- 6:45Speaker 1: of medical episode while hiking on the trail, a heart
- 6:49Speaker 1: attack or a stroke or something like that, they'd be
- 6:52Speaker 1: able to tell. Just like if it was a homicide,
- 6:55Speaker 1: they'd be able to tell. And according to the authorities,
- 6:59Speaker 1: that's what happened here. Now the question is, who's responsible
- 7:03Speaker 1: for killing Rachel Morin? Just days before her disappearance and death,
- 7:08Speaker 1: Rachel shared snaps of her and her new boyfriend, Richard.
- 7:12Speaker 1: She wrote along with two smiley images, only started taking
- 7:16Speaker 1: pics a few weeks ago, but these are a few
- 7:18Speaker 1: of my favorites. From the beach to the mountains. Morin
- 7:22Speaker 1: was only 5 foot 2 inches and weighed just 107 pounds.
- 7:27Speaker 1: And the pictures that they're sharing here on Daily Mail,
- 7:31Speaker 1: pictures of her out in the wilderness, you know, living
- 7:34Speaker 1: her best life. Rocking her bathing suit, nice little short skirt,
- 7:38Speaker 1: taking some pictures, having a good time. Certainly doesn't look
- 7:42Speaker 1: like anything's amiss when you look at the pictures of
- 7:44Speaker 1: these two together. They look like they're happy. But we
- 7:48Speaker 1: all know that the face we see on the outside
- 7:51Speaker 1: isn't always the face that appears when the door closes
- 7:55Speaker 1: and the lights go off. On a GoFundMe page, her
- 7:59Speaker 1: sister Rebecca said that her death was not accidental and
- 8:03Speaker 1: that she did not go willingly. She wrote, it is
- 8:06Speaker 1: with devastating sadness and a broken heart that our family
- 8:10Speaker 1: has been hit with yet another heartbreak. My sister, Rachel Morin,
- 8:15Speaker 1: went missing on Saturday, August 5th, 2023, at around 6 p.m.
- 8:21Speaker 1: In less than 24 hours, her body was found by
- 8:24Speaker 1: local law enforcement. It has only been a week since
- 8:27Speaker 1: my niece, Lily Beth, passed away from SIDS, and I
- 8:30Speaker 1: find that I have to make yet another GoFundMe to
- 8:33Speaker 1: help my mother recover. Patty Morin with funeral costs. There
- 8:37Speaker 1: was no life insurance in place, this was not an
- 8:40Speaker 1: accidental death, and she did not go willingly, and she
- 8:43Speaker 1: deserves a funeral worthy of her and her beauty. If
- 8:48Speaker 1: there are any remaining funds, they will go towards things
- 8:51Speaker 1: her five children may need. Please share, donate, comment, and
- 8:56Speaker 1: keep this going. Once we have made the arrangements, I
- 9:00Speaker 1: will update with service dates and times. If you wish
- 9:03Speaker 1: to donate directly, please message me on Facebook. Just a
- 9:07Speaker 1: horrible scene all around. This lady has five children, and now,
- 9:11Speaker 1: just like that, in the blink of an eye, those
- 9:14Speaker 1: children no longer have a mother. All because there's some sick,
- 9:18Speaker 1: disgusting piece of shit who murdered her for whatever stupid,
- 9:22Speaker 1: pedantic reason they have in their brain. Well, I hope
- 9:25Speaker 1: whoever that person is is found soon and they're treated
- 9:29Speaker 1: with the utmost disrespect on the way to the station. Hey,
- 9:33Speaker 1: how'd that guy get a concussion? Well, on the way
- 9:36Speaker 1: to the car, the dude tripped. I don't know what
- 9:38Speaker 1: you want me to tell you. His shoes were untied.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Tributes have flooded in for the much-loved mother. One person wrote,
- 9:45Speaker 1: I just saw Rachel a few days ago. I have
- 9:48Speaker 1: known her and her daughters for several years. She was
- 9:51Speaker 1: always nice to me. I wish I could do more.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Then again, I wish this never happened. Condolences to the
- 9:58Speaker 1: family and friends, and above all, her children. Rest in peace, Rachel.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Another said I'm so sorry for her family's loss, thinking
- 10:07Speaker 1: of all of her loved ones and children especially. A
- 10:11Speaker 1: third added, we knew Rachel and her children well, and
- 10:14Speaker 1: we will definitely miss them. All right, so that's where
- 10:17Speaker 1: things currently stand with Rachel Morin and her body being
- 10:20Speaker 1: found on that trail. And as far as suspects, according
- 10:24Speaker 1: to the authorities, there are none yet. That didn't stop
- 10:28Speaker 1: her new boyfriend, however, Richard Tobin, from taking to the
- 10:31Speaker 1: internet and denying that he had anything to do with this.
- 10:35Speaker 1: So we'll see what information comes out in the next
- 10:38Speaker 1: few days, and we'll make sure that we get it updated.
- 10:42Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
- 10:44Speaker 1: All of the information that goes with this episode can
- 10:47Speaker 1: be found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and
- 10:52Speaker 1: welcome back to the program. Yesterday, we were talking about
- 10:56Speaker 1: Rachel Morin, a woman who was found dead on a
- 10:59Speaker 1: hiking trail in Maryland. Well, we're getting some more information
- 11:04Speaker 1: about Rachel Morin, and we're learning from the sheriff that
- 11:08Speaker 1: they don't have a solid suspect. and they don't even
- 11:12Speaker 1: have any leads at this point. According to the sheriff,
- 11:16Speaker 1: this could possibly be a random event. And yesterday when
- 11:20Speaker 1: we were talking about this case, her boyfriend, her new boyfriend,
- 11:24Speaker 1: had come out on social media and denied any sort
- 11:28Speaker 1: of involvement in her death. And unfortunately, in the way
- 11:32Speaker 1: the world works these days, you have to do stuff
- 11:35Speaker 1: like that. If you're somebody's boyfriend or girlfriend, You know
- 11:39Speaker 1: that the authorities are going to look at you right away,
- 11:42Speaker 1: and not even the authorities, the internet. You know the
- 11:45Speaker 1: crazies on the internet are gonna get to work. Now,
- 11:48Speaker 1: I'm not saying that her boyfriend eventually won't be connected
- 11:53Speaker 1: to any of this, I don't know. But as of
- 11:55Speaker 1: right now, we can only go on what the sheriff
- 11:59Speaker 1: is telling us. And according to the sheriff, they don't
- 12:02Speaker 1: have a solid suspect. Now, we have to keep in
- 12:04Speaker 1: mind that they might be playing loose with the facts,
- 12:07Speaker 1: to keep whoever the suspect might be at a disadvantage.
- 12:11Speaker 1: That way, the person that they might be looking at
- 12:13Speaker 1: behind the scenes gets comfortable and slips up. And that
- 12:17Speaker 1: was the same kind of strategy we saw used in Idaho.
- 12:20Speaker 1: They acted like they didn't have anybody in their crosshairs
- 12:24Speaker 1: when they really were looking at Brian Kohlberger. So is
- 12:27Speaker 1: that the case here?
- 12:28Speaker 2: I don't know. It's possible.
- 12:31Speaker 1: But according to the sheriff, they have no suspects. So
- 12:35Speaker 1: let's get into this article from People And let's get
- 12:38Speaker 1: caught up. Headline, killing of Maryland mom Rachel Morin was
- 12:43Speaker 1: possibly a random event, says the sheriff. No solid suspect.
- 12:49Speaker 1: This article was authored by Sean Newman. Investigators are scrambling
- 12:55Speaker 1: for clues in the killing of Rachel Morin, a mother
- 12:59Speaker 1: of five who went missing Saturday night along a popular
- 13:02Speaker 1: hiking trail in Maryland. Meanwhile, police are asking the public
- 13:07Speaker 1: for help and warning other hikers to be mindful of
- 13:11Speaker 1: the possibility that a killer could be on the loose. Well,
- 13:14Speaker 1: that's reassuring, huh? Want to head out for a hike?
- 13:18Speaker 1: Better bring a machine gun. Killer might be on the loose.
- 13:21Speaker 1: It's not bad enough you have all the other stuff
- 13:23Speaker 1: to deal with out in nature. Wildlife, weather turning on you,
- 13:28Speaker 1: hurting yourself maybe. but now there's a real-life actual killer
- 13:33Speaker 1: that might be prowling the trail.
- 13:35Speaker 2: My advice?
- 13:36Speaker 1: Avoid that trail for now and find someplace else to hike.
- 13:39Speaker 1: We do not have a solid suspect, Harford County Sheriff
- 13:43Speaker 1: Jeffrey Goller told WBAL-TV on Monday. Not knowing whether this
- 13:49Speaker 1: was a targeted event specific to Rachel, we are going
- 13:52Speaker 1: to say, yes, be aware, be thinking there could be
- 13:56Speaker 1: somebody out here, and this is a random event. And
- 14:00Speaker 1: not to cause panic or anything like that, but I
- 14:03Speaker 1: think that the sheriff is doing the right thing by
- 14:06Speaker 1: announcing that there could be a psycho out there. And
- 14:09Speaker 1: what that also tells me is that they don't think
- 14:12Speaker 1: that the boyfriend had anything to do with it. Like
- 14:15Speaker 1: I said earlier, that could be a strategy that's being
- 14:18Speaker 1: used by the investigators. But it seems to me that here,
- 14:22Speaker 1: they just don't know which way is which yet. So
- 14:26Speaker 1: from the sheriff's perspective... He's taking the outlook of it
- 14:29Speaker 1: might be somebody who is randomly targeting people and he's
- 14:33Speaker 1: passing that message on to the rest of the community. Now,
- 14:37Speaker 1: if he didn't think that there was a legitimate threat,
- 14:40Speaker 1: I don't think that he'd be making a statement such
- 14:43Speaker 1: as this. Now, does that mean that somebody's out there
- 14:46Speaker 1: prowling right now waiting for the next person to pop
- 14:49Speaker 1: up on the trail? Absolutely not. Chances are whoever killed
- 14:53Speaker 1: Rachel has moved on already and is not anywhere near
- 14:58Speaker 1: that trail. The Harford County Sheriff's Office announced Sunday that
- 15:02Speaker 1: a volunteer community member had helped them find the body
- 15:06Speaker 1: of a woman matching Morin's description along the Maunpah Trail
- 15:10Speaker 1: in Bel Air, Maryland. The Sheriff's Office confirmed to people
- 15:14Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning after a coroner's report came back that
- 15:18Speaker 1: the body was Morin's. So there really wasn't any doubt
- 15:23Speaker 1: But they have to be sure. They have to confirm it.
- 15:26Speaker 1: They have to wait for the autopsy report. And now
- 15:29Speaker 1: that that report is in, it's obvious that this is Rachel.
- 15:33Speaker 1: So the next step is who did this and who
- 15:36Speaker 1: is responsible for murdering her? And that's where the police
- 15:40Speaker 1: are at now. And according to the sheriff, they're stumped.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Let's just call it what it is. As of right now,
- 15:47Speaker 1: they're stumped. Morin, a fitness enthusiast and a mother of
- 15:51Speaker 1: five children, was reported missing late Saturday night by her boyfriend,
- 15:56Speaker 1: Richard Tobin. At a news conference Sunday, Gaylor said that
- 16:01Speaker 1: Tobin told police that Morin had left to go on
- 16:03Speaker 1: a run along the trail at about 6 p.m.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Local time.
- 16:08Speaker 1: About five hours later, after Morin didn't return, Tobin called
- 16:12Speaker 1: the police. So we're going to have to hear a
- 16:14Speaker 1: little bit more about what happened in that five-hour span, right?
- 16:18Speaker 1: Where was Richard Tobin at during this five-hour span? Did
- 16:22Speaker 1: he go out and look for her? Did he call
- 16:23Speaker 1: her friends? Did he call her mom and dad? I mean,
- 16:26Speaker 1: if somebody says they're going on a hike and they're
- 16:29Speaker 1: only going on a run, five hours seems to be
- 16:32Speaker 1: a very long time. To put it into context, in
- 16:35Speaker 1: five hours, I usually clear about 12 or 13 miles hiking.
- 16:39Speaker 1: So we're talking about a significant period of time that
- 16:42Speaker 1: passed between when she went out for a run and when.
- 16:45Speaker 2: She was reported missing.
- 16:47Speaker 1: So.
- 16:48Speaker 2: There's a bit there that needs to be explained.
- 16:50Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that Richard Tobin had anything to
- 16:53Speaker 1: do with her murder or her death.
- 16:57Speaker 2: I have no idea.
- 16:58Speaker 1: But when you report somebody missing five hours, six hours
- 17:02Speaker 1: after they left for a run, you know the investigators
- 17:05Speaker 1: are going to want to know what you were doing
- 17:07Speaker 1: in that time period. In his news conference, the sheriff added,
- 17:12Speaker 1: Investigators discovered Morin's car abandoned at the trailhead and added
- 17:17Speaker 1: that when detectives surveyed the scene where her body was found,
- 17:21Speaker 1: they discovered several indicators that left no doubt Morin's death
- 17:25Speaker 1: was homicide. Sadly, it's a homicide case, the sheriff told reporters,
- 17:31Speaker 1: so I can only imagine what they found at the scene.
- 17:34Speaker 1: They're certainly not going to talk about that. because they
- 17:38Speaker 1: don't want to give up any of the details about
- 17:40Speaker 1: the crime to a potential suspect. So they're definitely not
- 17:43Speaker 1: going to talk about what the crime scene looked like.
- 17:46Speaker 1: But they know if it was a homicide or accidental.
- 17:50Speaker 1: And in this case, there's no doubt this is a homicide.
- 17:54Speaker 1: On Facebook, Tobin pleaded with the community to let the
- 17:57Speaker 1: family and I grieve.
- 17:59Speaker 2: I love Rachel.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I would never do anything to harm her, Tobin wrote.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Let the family and I grieve. Yes, I have a past.
- 18:07Speaker 1: But I also have 15 months clean and have changed
- 18:10Speaker 1: as a person.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Please.
- 18:12Speaker 1: The sheriff's office would not comment on persons of interest
- 18:15Speaker 1: when reached Tuesday, but has continued to ask the public
- 18:18Speaker 1: for help tracking down a suspect. So we could take
- 18:21Speaker 1: that several different ways. Are the police looking at Mr.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Tobin behind the scenes? I would bet the king's fortune
- 18:30Speaker 1: that they were. I highly doubt that they have ruled
- 18:33Speaker 1: them out as of now. This is a very new investigation.
- 18:37Speaker 1: They're going to have to figure out where he was at,
- 18:40Speaker 1: if he was with anybody, if anybody can corroborate a story.
- 18:44Speaker 1: You know, there's a whole process that has to be
- 18:47Speaker 1: followed here. And as many of these stories as we've covered,
- 18:51Speaker 1: you know, it usually takes weeks to months for somebody
- 18:54Speaker 1: to get arrested because the police are.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Building their case.
- 18:57Speaker 1: And they want to make sure that that case is
- 19:00Speaker 1: as airtight as possible so they can secure a conviction.
- 19:04Speaker 1: At his news conference, Goller asked anyone living near the
- 19:08Speaker 1: trailhead with security cameras to review their footage and turn
- 19:12Speaker 1: anything suspicious over to the police. On Tuesday morning, the
- 19:17Speaker 1: sheriff's office again asked for any photos or videos of
- 19:21Speaker 1: the trailhead taken over the weekend as investigators searched for clues.
- 19:26Speaker 1: The sheriff also announced there would be an increased police
- 19:30Speaker 1: presence along the trail as the investigation continues, warning hikers
- 19:35Speaker 1: to be aware of their surroundings while using the trail
- 19:38Speaker 1: in the coming days. Goller recommended running with a friend,
- 19:42Speaker 1: not using earbuds, avoiding a routine, and wearing a whistle
- 19:46Speaker 1: or some other device that can alert others if you're
- 19:50Speaker 1: need help. Or how about maybe taking a run with
- 19:53Speaker 1: a can of mace? Or, I don't know, get some
- 19:56Speaker 1: kind of leg holster and run with a gun. And
- 19:59Speaker 1: I say that only half-jokingly. With the amount of psychos
- 20:02Speaker 1: out there, at some point, we're all going to have
- 20:04Speaker 1: to be armed. And not using earbuds is always good advice.
- 20:09Speaker 1: When I hike, I only use one earbud. That way
- 20:12Speaker 1: I'm aware of my surroundings as well. I'm not trying
- 20:15Speaker 1: to step on a rattlesnake or, you know, get attacked
- 20:18Speaker 1: by some kind of mountain lion or some shit. So
- 20:21Speaker 1: running or hiking or anything out in the outdoors, you
- 20:25Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be wearing those earbuds. But the whistle? I mean,
- 20:28Speaker 1: come on, what's the whistle going to do? That's like
- 20:31Speaker 1: the most ridiculous thing in the whole entire world. Oh yeah,
- 20:34Speaker 1: wear a whistle and you can blow it and magically
- 20:37Speaker 1: Superman's going to show up. Forget the whistle, get yourself
- 20:41Speaker 1: some mace or a stun gun or something of consequence.
- 20:44Speaker 1: We ask everyone to use good judgment on the trail,
- 20:47Speaker 1: the sheriff said. Always be aware of your surroundings. And
- 20:51Speaker 1: that's good advice in general. Always be aware of what's
- 20:54Speaker 1: going on. I keep my head on a swivel every
- 20:59Speaker 1: single day, every single time I walk out of my house.
- 21:03Speaker 1: I'm from the inner city where shit pops off on
- 21:05Speaker 1: a regular basis, so I'm always ready to for some
- 21:08Speaker 1: sort of stupidity to crack off. And around these parts
- 21:12Speaker 1: here in Sin City, we call that Eastside Situational Awareness.
- 21:16Speaker 1: And I think that being aware of your surroundings is
- 21:19Speaker 1: the best defense, no matter what, and no matter where
- 21:22Speaker 1: you are. Now, I'm not saying that Rachel wasn't aware
- 21:25Speaker 1: of what was going on. We have no idea. I'm
- 21:28Speaker 1: just talking about in general. So if you're out hiking,
- 21:31Speaker 1: you're out, you know, doing anything in the wilderness... Be
- 21:34Speaker 1: careful with the earbuds for sure. Let people know where
- 21:37Speaker 1: you're going and what time they should expect you back.
- 21:40Speaker 1: That way, if you don't come back at the time
- 21:43Speaker 1: that you stated and they can't get in touch with you,
- 21:46Speaker 1: they can get a rescue party out there ASAP, not
- 21:48Speaker 1: five hours later. All right, folks, so we're going to
- 21:51Speaker 1: keep an eye on this one and see what goes
- 21:53Speaker 1: down here because I have a feeling we're going to
- 21:55Speaker 1: learn a lot more about what happened to Rachel Morin
- 21:58Speaker 1: in the next few days. All of the information that
- 22:01Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found... In the description box.
- 22:07Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. This episode,
- 22:11Speaker 1: we're going to dive right back into the story about
- 22:14Speaker 1: Rachel Morin and see what's going on currently in the
- 22:18Speaker 1: investigation to bring her killers to justice. And to do that,
- 22:23Speaker 1: we're going to use an article from the independent headline,
- 22:27Speaker 1: Rachel Morin Update. Police seek mystery group of potential witnesses
- 22:33Speaker 1: on Bel Air Trail near the time of the killing.
- 22:38Speaker 1: This article was authored by Rachel Sharp, Joe Summerland, and
- 22:42Speaker 1: Andrea Cavalier. Rachel Morin's mother has broken her silence as
- 22:48Speaker 1: the mother of five's killer remains at large. In an
- 22:51Speaker 1: open letter posted on Facebook, her mother pleaded for compassion
- 22:55Speaker 1: as the family takes time to grieve the sudden and
- 22:58Speaker 1: tragic loss. We need the time and space to grieve
- 23:03Speaker 1: as a family. Morin, 37, was last seen heading to
- 23:07Speaker 1: the Ma and Pa Trail in Bel Air at around
- 23:10Speaker 1: 6 p.m.
- 23:10Speaker 2: On Saturday.
- 23:12Speaker 1: Her boyfriend, Richard Tobin, reported her missing that night after
- 23:16Speaker 1: she failed to return home. Morin's body was found the
- 23:19Speaker 1: following day and her death is being investigated as a homicide.
- 23:24Speaker 1: On Thursday, Harford County Sheriff's Office said investigators had been
- 23:29Speaker 1: made aware of potential witnesses who may have seen Moran
- 23:33Speaker 1: on the trail that night. The witnesses, either three men,
- 23:37Speaker 1: two women, and two dogs, or two men, three women,
- 23:41Speaker 1: and two dogs, were urged to come forward. Well, yeah,
- 23:45Speaker 1: if you saw this lady on the trail that night,
- 23:48Speaker 1: probably a good idea to come forward and talk to
- 23:50Speaker 1: the investigators. The sheriff also denied claims made by Michael Gabrzewski,
- 23:57Speaker 1: who insisted he and his stepdaughter found Morin's body.
- 24:01Speaker 2: While Mr.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Gabrzewski gave graphic accounts of what he claimed he saw
- 24:05Speaker 1: to multiple outlets, the sheriff's office told The Independent he
- 24:09Speaker 1: wasn't even within eyeshot of the crime scene. So that's
- 24:13Speaker 1: why we have to do these updates on a daily basis.
- 24:16Speaker 1: because these sorts of situations are evolving quickly, and what
- 24:20Speaker 1: we thought we knew about a story can change overnight
- 24:24Speaker 1: just like that. Rachel Moran's mother appeals for compassion in
- 24:29Speaker 1: first public comment since daughter's killing. The mother of Rachel
- 24:33Speaker 1: Moran has broken her silence with a plea of compassion
- 24:37Speaker 1: as the family takes time to grieve the sudden and
- 24:40Speaker 1: tragic loss of the 37-year-old whose body was found after
- 24:45Speaker 1: she vanished while going for a jog on the Mon
- 24:47Speaker 1: Pas Trail in Bel Air.
- 24:50Speaker 2: We are grieving.
- 24:51Speaker 1: We need the time and space to grieve as a family.
- 24:54Speaker 1: We have not forgotten our community, the post read. We
- 24:58Speaker 1: just need time. I need time. It has only been
- 25:00Speaker 1: four days since we received the horrific news. I ask
- 25:04Speaker 1: that as mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters, that you would
- 25:08Speaker 1: please have compassion on us and allow us this. Nobody
- 25:12Speaker 1: should be harassing this family. Leave them alone, let them grieve,
- 25:16Speaker 1: and how about we focus on finding the shitbag who
- 25:19Speaker 1: killed her? And once that person's found, we should just
- 25:23Speaker 1: have them tied up in the public square, and then
- 25:26Speaker 1: each family member should be allowed one shot with a
- 25:28Speaker 1: baseball bat while this.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Person's tied up.
- 25:31Speaker 1: The heartfelt letter, which was shared on Thursday in a
- 25:34Speaker 1: post on the Facebook page of Rachel Morin's sister, Rebecca...
- 25:38Speaker 1: thanked the community for its service, and announced that a
- 25:41Speaker 1: celebration of life service and a 5K run would be
- 25:45Speaker 1: held in Morin's honor thanks to the money raised.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Well, that's good to hear.
- 25:49Speaker 1: And it's also nice to hear that the community has
- 25:52Speaker 1: rallied around the Morin family. They've donated money, and now
- 25:56Speaker 1: they're going to be able to get this 5K up
- 25:59Speaker 1: and running, no pun intended, in honor of Rachel. Michael
- 26:04Speaker 1: Gabrzeski says he saw Rachel Morin's body, but the sheriff
- 26:08Speaker 1: denies this claim. Michael Gabrzeski, the Maryland man who claimed
- 26:12Speaker 1: he saw the body of 37-year-old Rachel Morin, was not
- 26:17Speaker 1: even within eyesight of the crime scene. When she was found,
- 26:20Speaker 1: the Hartford County Sheriff's Office told the Independent, So why
- 26:24Speaker 1: would you even make that up? Like, why would you
- 26:27Speaker 1: try and insert yourself into the story? Does anyone know
- 26:31Speaker 1: where Michael Grabizeski was at the time where Rachel was murdered?
- 26:35Speaker 1: I mean, kind of joking, right? But we know that
- 26:39Speaker 1: people who do this kind of thing always try and
- 26:42Speaker 1: insert themselves in the case. They show up back to
- 26:45Speaker 1: the vigil. They try and be part of the investigation.
- 26:48Speaker 1: It happens a lot. Now, obviously, I'm not saying that
- 26:52Speaker 1: Michael Gabrzeski is involved here, but if what the sheriff
- 26:56Speaker 1: is saying is true, then this dude certainly is afflicted
- 26:59Speaker 1: with main character syndrome. And in the age of social media,
- 27:03Speaker 1: there's so many people that have this syndrome where they
- 27:06Speaker 1: have to be the center of attention no matter what.
- 27:09Speaker 1: And it's just bizarre to me. Mr. Gabrzeski, 49, claimed
- 27:14Speaker 1: to multiple news outlets that he and his stepdaughter... came
- 27:17Speaker 1: across Moran's body on Sunday when they joined the search
- 27:21Speaker 1: for the missing mother of five, who had vanished on
- 27:24Speaker 1: Saturday after going for a jog on the Maunpah Trail
- 27:27Speaker 1: in Bel Air, Maryland.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Mr.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Gabrzeski said that his stepdaughter, who he said was a
- 27:33Speaker 1: friend of Moran's, was the first person to discover the
- 27:37Speaker 1: body in a tunnel near the trail before they alerted police.
- 27:41Speaker 1: But a spokesperson for the Harford County Sheriff's Office confirmed
- 27:45Speaker 1: to The Independent on Thursday that Mr. Gabrzeski did not
- 27:49Speaker 1: find Rachel's body and that he did not view her body. So,
- 27:53Speaker 1: who are you going to believe? The sheriff's office or Mr.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Gabrzeski over here who's inserting himself into the conversation? Look,
- 28:01Speaker 1: if you want to wear clown shoes, wear them. But
- 28:04Speaker 1: don't get offended when everybody looks at you funny. Maryland
- 28:08Speaker 1: police urge group of witnesses with dogs to come forward.
- 28:13Speaker 1: On Thursday, Harford County Sheriff's Office said investigators had been
- 28:17Speaker 1: made aware of potential witnesses who may have seen Rachel
- 28:20Speaker 1: Morin on the trail that night. The witnesses, either three men,
- 28:25Speaker 1: two women, and two dogs, or two men, three women,
- 28:28Speaker 1: and two dogs, were urged to come forward. Detectives have
- 28:33Speaker 1: been made aware of potential witnesses that may have observed
- 28:36Speaker 1: Rachel Morin on the trail. These individuals were walking on
- 28:41Speaker 1: the Ma and Pa Trail on from the Route 24
- 28:44Speaker 1: tunnel towards the split in the trail that leads to
- 28:47Speaker 1: the William Street trailhead between 6 p.m. and 7.30 p.m.
- 28:52Speaker 1: These witnesses were described as either being three men, two women,
- 28:56Speaker 1: and two dogs, or two men, three women, and two dogs.
- 29:00Speaker 1: If this is you, please reach out to Sergeant Maddox
- 29:03Speaker 1: at maddox at harfordshariff.org. Thank you. Read the post. So,
- 29:09Speaker 1: who saw these people on the trail? Wouldn't that person
- 29:12Speaker 1: be a witness as well? I mean, what's going on here?
- 29:16Speaker 1: So how do you know that these people were on
- 29:17Speaker 1: the trail and that you want to talk to them
- 29:20Speaker 1: as witnesses? Who saw them on the trail? That's my question.
- 29:24Speaker 1: So that leads us to, what is the Maunpah Trail? Well,
- 29:29Speaker 1: Rachel Morin was reported missing on Saturday night after law
- 29:32Speaker 1: enforcement appealed for information to find the mother of five,
- 29:36Speaker 1: a body was found on the Maanpa Trail on Sunday afternoon.
- 29:41Speaker 1: The 6.25-mile trail gets its name from the former Maryland
- 29:46Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania Railroad Corridor that ran through the town of
- 29:50Speaker 1: Bel Air in Harford County. The track was dismantled in
- 29:53Speaker 1: the 1950s and later turned into a heritage trail along
- 29:58Speaker 1: the railroad's former route, sort of like the Ahai-Manan Trail
- 30:02Speaker 1: down in Delphi. And you'll see this from time to time.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Old railroad tracks or old bridges, they'll get repurposed and
- 30:09Speaker 1: used as part of a trail system for a state
- 30:11Speaker 1: park or a national park, and they'll just incorporate these
- 30:15Speaker 1: things that were there previously into the park itself. It
- 30:18Speaker 1: consists of a 3.3-mile section through Bel-Air, and a 1.7-mile
- 30:23Speaker 1: segment in neighboring Forest Hill. According to AllTrails.com, the trail
- 30:28Speaker 1: is moderately challenging and takes around 2 hours and 25
- 30:32Speaker 1: minutes to complete.
- 30:34Speaker 2: In the wake of Ms.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Moran's death, authorities have warned hikers to take particular care
- 30:40Speaker 1: and be aware of their surroundings. You should always be
- 30:43Speaker 1: aware of your surroundings, no matter what. We've talked about
- 30:46Speaker 1: this previously, and if you're out hiking or on an adventure...
- 30:50Speaker 1: Never wear both earbuds.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Only wear one. If you're going to wear any, wear one.
- 30:55Speaker 1: My suggestion, however, is to get a little mobile Bluetooth
- 30:59Speaker 1: speaker and throw it in your backpack. Now... Of course,
- 31:02Speaker 1: you don't want to blare that when there's other people around.
- 31:04Speaker 1: So you got to be courteous and turn it down
- 31:07Speaker 1: when other people are around. But having a little speaker,
- 31:10Speaker 1: if you want to listen to an audio book or music,
- 31:12Speaker 1: is the preferable way to go. And for all the
- 31:15Speaker 1: hikers out there that complain that people might have music
- 31:18Speaker 1: on or whatever, it's usually laughable because they're sitting around
- 31:21Speaker 1: with a group of their buddies on their hike making
- 31:24Speaker 1: more noise than a speaker could ever make. But from
- 31:27Speaker 1: a safety perspective, the last thing you want to do
- 31:30Speaker 1: is have both earbuds in. And finally, to close out
- 31:33Speaker 1: the episode, we're going to read the letter in entirety
- 31:37Speaker 1: from Rebecca Morin, who is Rachel's mother. An open letter
- 31:42Speaker 1: from Rachel Morin's mom. To all the mothers with daughters,
- 31:46Speaker 1: to the fathers, brothers, and sisters, husbands, to our local community,
- 31:51Speaker 1: and to world onlookers, if you have experienced the loss
- 31:55Speaker 1: of a dear loved one, then you know how hard
- 31:57Speaker 1: it can be to express the pain that you feel
- 32:00Speaker 1: in your heart. When it's sudden and tragic, your mind
- 32:03Speaker 1: looks for ways to cope. As a mom, I appreciate
- 32:07Speaker 1: the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and
- 32:11Speaker 1: the worldwide community. That grieves with me for my young daughter.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Thank you for caring, truly. Because of the tremendous outpouring
- 32:21Speaker 1: of prayers, love, and concern, our family is in the
- 32:23Speaker 1: process of of making arrangements for a celebration of life
- 32:27Speaker 1: service to which friends and the community will be invited.
- 32:31Speaker 1: More details to come. And because Rachel was an avid runner,
- 32:35Speaker 1: we were in the early stages of planning a 5K
- 32:38Speaker 1: walk-run in her honor with the hope of having.
- 32:41Speaker 2: A trail of flowers. We are grieving.
- 32:45Speaker 1: We need the time and space to grieve as a family.
- 32:48Speaker 1: We have not yet forgotten our community. We just need time.
- 32:52Speaker 1: I need time. It's only been four days since we
- 32:55Speaker 1: received the horrific news. I ask as mothers, fathers, brothers,
- 32:59Speaker 1: and sisters that you would please have compassion on us
- 33:03Speaker 1: and allow us this. Thank you, Rachel's mom. So what
- 33:08Speaker 1: she's saying here is the media and all the people
- 33:11Speaker 1: that are like camping out at her house, give it
- 33:13Speaker 1: a rest, okay?
- 33:15Speaker 2: Take it easy. Give her some time to grieve.
- 33:17Speaker 1: And at this, you know, remembrance of life celebration, That'll
- 33:21Speaker 1: be the time to remember Rachel and to talk more
- 33:24Speaker 1: about it. But for now, I think the focus needs
- 33:26Speaker 1: to be squarely on finding who's responsible and bringing whoever's
- 33:31Speaker 1: responsible to justice. All right, everybody, that's going to do
- 33:35Speaker 1: it for this one. All of the information that goes
- 33:38Speaker 1: with this episode can be found in the description box.
- 33:42Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. As
- 33:46Speaker 1: the days turn into weeks after the murder of Rachel Morant,
- 33:50Speaker 1: the police still do not have anybody in custody. And
- 33:54Speaker 1: not only that, the sheriff believes that the person who's
- 33:57Speaker 1: responsible is a serial killer. Not only that, but they
- 34:01Speaker 1: have no idea where this person is or if and
- 34:05Speaker 1: when they're going to strike next. So with the police
- 34:09Speaker 1: investigation coming up empty so far, Rachel Morin's family has
- 34:14Speaker 1: enlisted the help of a criminal profiler to try and
- 34:17Speaker 1: help kick this into gear and try and find the
- 34:20Speaker 1: person who's responsible for her murder. Today we have an
- 34:24Speaker 1: article from the Daily Mail and the headline, Family of
- 34:28Speaker 1: Murdered Mom Rachel Morin Enlists the Help of a Criminal
- 34:31Speaker 1: Profiler to Detail Four Traits of Suspected Serial Killer as
- 34:36Speaker 1: Police Continue to Hunt for the Killer Who Could Be Anywhere.
- 34:41Speaker 1: This article was authored by Martha Williams, and I think
- 34:45Speaker 1: the sheriff is spot on with that statement. This doesn't
- 34:48Speaker 1: seem like somebody who was setting up shop down here
- 34:52Speaker 1: in Maryland, right? His first crime, or alleged crime, was
- 34:56Speaker 1: committed in California, then he travels basically across the whole
- 35:00Speaker 1: ass country and kills Rachel Morin? Seems like a transient
- 35:04Speaker 1: to me, and somebody that's probably on the road already.
- 35:08Speaker 1: The family of murdered mom of five, Rachel Morin, has
- 35:11Speaker 1: enlisted a criminal profiler to help in the search for
- 35:14Speaker 1: her killer, who has four traits that are shared by
- 35:17Speaker 1: serial killers. Morin, 37, was found murdered along a Maryland
- 35:22Speaker 1: trail a month ago. That sparked a massive manhunt for
- 35:26Speaker 1: the suspect, who has now been tied to a violent
- 35:30Speaker 1: home invasion across the country in Los Angeles. Not just
- 35:34Speaker 1: a home invasion. Remember, he assaulted a young girl during
- 35:38Speaker 1: this home invasion. So what happened with Rachel Morin is
- 35:41Speaker 1: an obvious and clear escalation. Police have been stumped on
- 35:46Speaker 1: the killer's whereabouts as her family turned to criminal profiler
- 35:50Speaker 1: Pat Brown to help provide a description of the depraved murderer.
- 35:54Speaker 1: And it has to be frustrating for Rachel's family. They
- 35:57Speaker 1: have the DNA profile of this person. This person has
- 36:01Speaker 1: already committed other crimes, and yet they still can't identify him.
- 36:06Speaker 1: And the longer this goes on, the more I'm leaning
- 36:08Speaker 1: towards the fact that he might not be a citizen
- 36:12Speaker 1: of the United States. Remember, his first attack happened in California,
- 36:17Speaker 1: and we all know about the migrant crisis, so that's
- 36:20Speaker 1: certainly something that they're going to have to look into,
- 36:23Speaker 1: because if he is not a U.S. citizen, it's going
- 36:26Speaker 1: to make things that much more difficult to track him down.
- 36:30Speaker 1: The attack on Rachel Morin that occurred while she was
- 36:33Speaker 1: running on the Ma and Pa Heritage Trail was likely
- 36:36Speaker 1: committed by an opportunistic predator who saw her that evening,
- 36:41Speaker 1: Brown said. This means it is likely the predator has
- 36:45Speaker 1: a specific reason to be in the area.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Of the path.
- 36:48Speaker 1: He runs on it, travels on it, he works near it,
- 36:52Speaker 1: or he is living near it. The profiler described the
- 36:55Speaker 1: male suspect as a suspected serial killer who is a
- 36:59Speaker 1: dangerous psychopath. I think that that's spot on too. Obviously
- 37:04Speaker 1: this guy is a dangerous psychopath. Anyone who is creeping
- 37:08Speaker 1: into someone's house and assaulting a young girl and then
- 37:11Speaker 1: traveling across the country to murder somebody, yeah, I think
- 37:15Speaker 1: we can classify them as a psychopath, right along with
- 37:19Speaker 1: a piece of shit, a scumbag, you know, all of it.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Brown described the traits of a psychopath as narcissistic, only
- 37:27Speaker 1: cares about himself, lacking empathy, doesn't care about others, he's
- 37:31Speaker 1: a manipulator who takes advantage of others, and a pathological liar.
- 37:36Speaker 1: lies about everything compulsively. So that's the basic profile that's
- 37:41Speaker 1: been provided by Mr. Brown about this alleged serial killer.
- 37:47Speaker 1: The details were printed on flyers that the Morin family
- 37:51Speaker 1: has distributed to mark the one-month anniversary of her grisly murder.
- 37:56Speaker 1: It's already been a month since Rachel Morin was found dead,
- 38:00Speaker 1: and this piece of garbage is still out there somewhere
- 38:03Speaker 1: living his best life, huh? The unidentified suspect in the
- 38:06Speaker 1: case is described as a Hispanic man aged between 20
- 38:10Speaker 1: and 30. He is approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall,
- 38:14Speaker 1: weighing around 160 pounds, and is muscular. Police have admitted
- 38:20Speaker 1: the suspect could be anywhere after his DNA was tied
- 38:24Speaker 1: to a home invasion in Los Angeles and investigators have
- 38:27Speaker 1: visited Chicago for unknown reasons. Well, isn't that nice, huh?
- 38:33Speaker 1: So this dude gets around. Does he have a car?
- 38:35Speaker 2: Is he walking?
- 38:36Speaker 1: Is he taking a Greyhound bus? Is he riding a
- 38:39Speaker 1: fucking llama? We just don't know. One thing I do know, however,
- 38:44Speaker 1: is that when this person is caught and after they're convicted,
- 38:49Speaker 1: helicopter rides, volcanoes. We believe it was a person that
- 38:53Speaker 1: Rachel didn't know. Potentially a random act of violence, said
- 38:57Speaker 1: Colonel William Davis at a news conference. We know nothing
- 39:01Speaker 1: more about him other than he was in L.A. in
- 39:04Speaker 1: March and we believe him to be the murderer. Brown
- 39:08Speaker 1: has 30 years of experience with criminal profiling and said
- 39:11Speaker 1: a bullet profile should go out to the public. Bel
- 39:15Speaker 1: Air is 40 miles north of Baltimore. You don't just
- 39:18Speaker 1: roll in there on a bus for no reason, Brown claimed.
- 39:21Speaker 1: He has to know somebody that came to stay with
- 39:23Speaker 1: in Bel Air. Well, that's logical, right? That's what you
- 39:26Speaker 1: would think unless he's just a drifter. Because there are
- 39:30Speaker 1: certainly people like that, people that are living on the margins,
- 39:34Speaker 1: traveling around the country, and I guess doing shit like
- 39:37Speaker 1: this if you're this scumbag. And if somebody in the
- 39:40Speaker 1: area knows who this person is and they're not coming forward,
- 39:44Speaker 1: they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
- 39:47Speaker 1: And hopefully, if that's the case, Whoever is helping him
- 39:51Speaker 1: hide out or whatever gets the whole ass book thrown
- 39:54Speaker 1: at him. She made a list of the suspect's characteristics
- 39:57Speaker 1: so that someone who recognizes the description will come forward
- 40:01Speaker 1: with more information about the killer. This man is a
- 40:05Speaker 1: suspected serial killer and is an immediate danger to the community.
- 40:10Speaker 1: He is a violent criminal, Brown said. After committing a
- 40:14Speaker 1: crime in Los Angeles, he came to Bel Air, Maryland.
- 40:17Speaker 1: This choice of location to a small, lesser-known city is odd,
- 40:22Speaker 1: meaning he must know someone in Bel Air where he
- 40:25Speaker 1: has been able to stay. Logical, makes sense, and if
- 40:30Speaker 1: there's somebody out there in Bel Air that's hiding this person.
- 40:34Speaker 2: I hope that you get hit by a bus.
- 40:37Speaker 1: The suspect would not be accountable for some time between
- 40:41Speaker 1: 6 p.m. and dusk on Saturday, August 5th, when the
- 40:44Speaker 1: attack occurred. It's so important for the community to identify
- 40:49Speaker 1: this man because he will commit the crime again, the
- 40:52Speaker 1: profiler added. Look, it's not a matter of if, it's
- 40:56Speaker 1: a matter of when. And when you have a compulsive
- 40:59Speaker 1: murderer like this, somebody who has no compunction when it
- 41:02Speaker 1: comes to killing or molesting or raping, that's somebody that
- 41:07Speaker 1: has to be dealt with ASAP. Morin, 37, set out
- 41:11Speaker 1: on August 5th for a hike and left her car
- 41:14Speaker 1: at the William Street trailhead in the center of Bel Air, Maryland,
- 41:17Speaker 1: about 20 miles northeast of Baltimore, when.
- 41:20Speaker 2: She was killed.
- 41:22Speaker 1: Her body was discovered the day after she disappeared, naked
- 41:26Speaker 1: and beaten in a tunnel along the scenic Maunpah Heritage Trail.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Morin's boyfriend shared his relief after police identified a suspect
- 41:36Speaker 1: in her murder. Richard Tobin, 27, was the one to
- 41:40Speaker 1: report Morin missing after she went for a walk and
- 41:43Speaker 1: did not return home. He also found her car at
- 41:47Speaker 1: the trailhead. And remember, people were trying to say that
- 41:49Speaker 1: this dude was involved when this first happened, and there
- 41:53Speaker 1: was zero evidence of any of that. But of course,
- 41:56Speaker 1: that didn't stop all of the yahoos from going batshit
- 41:59Speaker 1: crazy and trying to tie Mr. Tobin to what happened here.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Tobin had given investigators a DNA sample and handed over
- 42:06Speaker 1: his cell phone and said, I hope they found this scum.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Of the earth. Justice for Rachel. R.I.P. Love you, Rach.
- 42:15Speaker 1: She had only recently publicly declared her relationship with Tobin
- 42:18Speaker 1: on Facebook, and it was unclear how long they had
- 42:22Speaker 1: been together. Galler has clarified in the weeks since her
- 42:26Speaker 1: death that they do not believe Tobin to be a
- 42:29Speaker 1: suspect in the mother of five's murder. At this point,
- 42:33Speaker 1: there is no indication that he was involved. But until
- 42:36Speaker 1: we know who this guy is, or whether he acted alone,
- 42:39Speaker 1: the entire world is a suspect, Galler said. Yeah, I
- 42:43Speaker 1: don't think it's Tobin, sorry. But, look, I've been wrong before.
- 42:47Speaker 1: They got to investigate everybody. Just doesn't seem to be
- 42:50Speaker 1: a logical path to go down here, considering we have
- 42:53Speaker 1: the DNA of somebody else. In one Facebook post, he wrote,
- 42:57Speaker 1: I love Rachel. I would never do anything to her.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Let her family and I grieve. Yes, I have a past,
- 43:04Speaker 1: but I also have 15 months clean and have changed
- 43:08Speaker 1: as a person. Tobin had been arrested 14 times since
- 43:12Speaker 1: 2014 on a variety of charges, including drug dealing, assault,
- 43:18Speaker 1: disorderly conduct, and refusing arrest. Weeks after Morin's murder, it
- 43:23Speaker 1: was revealed that the killer's DNA was also found at
- 43:26Speaker 1: the Los Angeles crime scene. And that was quite the twist, huh?
- 43:31Speaker 1: I didn't have that one on the bingo card. I
- 43:33Speaker 1: figured that this was just some sicko and a crime
- 43:35Speaker 1: of opportunity. But it seems to be that this is
- 43:39Speaker 1: a sicko with a profile that shows us he's capable
- 43:42Speaker 1: of doing it again. Hartford, Maryland County Sheriff Jeff Gaylor said,
- 43:47Speaker 1: said that he and some of his deputies from Harford
- 43:50Speaker 1: County visited Los Angeles last week to investigate, but it's
- 43:54Speaker 1: still too early to tell just what they're dealing with.
- 43:58Speaker 1: We don't know who he is yet, the sheriff added.
- 44:01Speaker 1: He could still be laying his head here in our county,
- 44:04Speaker 1: or he could have fled anywhere in the country or
- 44:07Speaker 1: even the world. The sheriff's office leading the investigation confirmed
- 44:11Speaker 1: they are now following leads in Chicago and But they
- 44:14Speaker 1: did not explain why or what those leads are. Well,
- 44:18Speaker 1: at least they're following leads. That's a good thing. And remember,
- 44:22Speaker 1: we're not going to know even half of what they're
- 44:24Speaker 1: up to behind the scenes. So hopefully they have some
- 44:28Speaker 1: good leads here and they're going to find this person
- 44:31Speaker 1: very soon. Because this disgusting animal deserves to be in
- 44:35Speaker 1: one place and one place only. And that's behind bars.
- 44:39Speaker 1: And we're going to be following along with this case
- 44:41Speaker 1: until that happens. But for now, that's going to do it.
- 44:45Speaker 1: All of the information that goes with this episode can
- 44:47Speaker 1: be found in the description box.
