Who Are Rachel Morin Parents?
Rachel Morin, who was found dead on a hiking trail in Maryland, was the daughter of Ronald Morin and Patricia Morin. The 37-year-old was reported missing Saturday 5 August around 11:20 p.m. after her boyfriend Richard said she failed to return from her walk. She was last spotted on the route at around six o’clock.
According to the sheriff’s office, her car was also discovered close to the trail.
“This was an intentional taking of a person’s life,” Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said in a video posted on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook. Following the discovery of Morin’s death on Sunday near the Ma and Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland, Gahler stated that there are ten detectives working on the case. He claimed that the neighborhood had provided more than 100 tips.
“Together we will solve this crime and find the heinous coward who took Rachel Morin from her family and friends,” the Harford County sheriff said.
Sheriff Jeffrey also said that they have interviewed the boyfriend. Online sleuths on social media have started blaming her boyfriend, Richard, for the crime despite the fact that he has not been mentioned as a suspect by the police in their updates. Richard has denied any participation in her demise.
Richard also took to his Facebook in response to allegations against him. He wrote, “I love Rachel, I would never do anything to her, let the family and I grieve.”
When the dark past of Richard emerged on the internet, he said, “Yes I have a past but I also have 15 months clean and have changed as a person. Please.”
He was not more specific about his past. According to The New York Post, Tobin has a history of “two arrests for criminal second-degree assault, malicious destruction of property, drug possession, and violating restraining orders.” The Post added: “The 20 charges previously filed against him in Maryland also include resisting arrest and disorderly intoxication.”
Sheriff Jeffery did not state whether Richard was a suspect but confirmed he had been interviewed. “One question we have continued to get centers around whether we have interviewed the boyfriend in this case,” Jeffrey said. Despite not naming Richard, Jeffrey claims that the caller who informed sheriff’s deputies that Morin was missing and provided them with information on her last known whereabouts was Morin’s boyfriend.
Richard reported that she had headed out to the MA & PA Heritage Trail, Jeffrey said. When she didn’t return as expected, the family grew concerned, the sheriff said. But Richard wrote on the sheriff’s page that he called.
Richard’s top visible post on Facebook announced that he was in a relationship with Morin. It’s dated August 1, 2023. His only other Facebook post visible, other than the post confirming he was in a relationship with Morin, was a selfie.
On her Facebook page, Rachel wrote that she was in a relationship with Richard Tobin. “Only started taking pics a few weeks ago.. but these are a few of my favorites. From the beach to the mountains 🥰,” she wrote on August 3, 2023, two days before disappearing.
Her sister organized a GoFundMe which read, “It is with devastating sadness and a broken heart that our family has been hit with yet another heartbreak. My sister, Rachel Morin went missing on Saturday, August 5 2023 around 6 pm. In less than 24 hours her body was found by local law enforcement. I have made a gofundme to help my mother, Patty Morin with funeral costs. There was no life insurance in place. This was not an accidental death, and she did not go willingly and she deserves a funeral worthy of her beauty. If there are any remaining funds they will go towards things her 5 children may need. Please share, donate, comment, and keep this going. Once we have made the arrangements I will update you with service dates and times. If you wish to donate directly please message me on Facebook.”
