The man suspected of killing Rachel Morin has shown a “disregard for human life” and could be a “serial killer,” the Maryland sheriff overseeing the case said Monday.
Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler told Fox News Digital he fears the mystery man could strike again while also admitting the perpetrator could be anywhere in the country right now.
“The violence associated with Rachel’s case shows that he has absolutely no regard for human life. I believe he will continue to do so until he is caught,” Gahler reportedly said.
“He’s probably a serial killer.”
Authorities have been searching for the brutal killer since Morin’s body was found Aug. 6 at the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in Bel Air, Maryland.
The 37-year-old mother of five was found dead less than a day after her boyfriend reported her missing.

He was running alone on a popular trail around the time of his murder.
DNA samples taken from the murder site were linked to a home invasion and assault on a young girl in Los Angeles in March, police said.
“Serial killers all start somewhere. What he did in Los Angeles was definitely, I believe, in that direction,” Gahler told Fox News Monday. “I believe it was his intention to inflict more serious physical injury.”

Despite the discovery of DNA, police do not have the identity of the suspect – and do not know where he is.
“He can still lay his head here in our district, or he can flee anywhere in the country or even the world,” Gahler told the outlet.
Police have released video of the suspect, who is described as a Hispanic man about 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds.

Morin’s mother, Patty Morin, said during a memorial service for her daughter Sunday that the pain of losing a child was “excruciating.”
“I know that the God that we believe in and the God that Rachel believes in is there holding her and comforting her,” Patty Morin said, according to WJZ News.
Gahler, the Harford sheriff, had previously raised concerns that Morin’s killers could continue to kill.

“This person has no regard for the sanctity of human life and until he is caught there is a threat that he will do something dangerous to others,” he told Fox News last week.
“This individual poses a threat to every community from here to Los Angeles because we don’t know where he lays his head at night,” he added.
