Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, left for a jog in her sleepy Maryland community on Aug. 5, 2023, and never came home.
Police found her brutalized remains stuffed in a culvert and, after a months-long investigation, identified her suspected killer as an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who is also accused of murder in his home country and raping a mother and her 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles.
The case attracted national attention even before the suspect was identified as a migrant from El Salvador, Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23. Afterward, former President Trump expressed his condolences to the family and invited Morin's mother, Patty, as well as other victims' relatives to the southern border.
