“We firmly believe this is the body of Rachel Morin,” said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler, however, the remains have yet to be officially identified with Gahler saying, “But that final determination belongs with the medical examiner and that has not happened yet.”
A possible motive behind Rachel’s death has yet to be determined, said Gahler, and there is no suspect at this time.
“Thankfully we don’t have too much violent crime in Harford County, but when we have one, I prefer when I can stand here and tell you that the suspect has been arrested or that it’s a targeted crime,” he said.
