It appears that the search for Rachel Morin has taken a tragic turn.
Maryland authorities believe the body of the missing 37-year-old—who disappeared on Aug. 5 while on the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in the town of Bel Air—has been found.
“While it was all of our hope…that Rachel would be found safe,” officials from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office said during an Aug. 6 media briefing, “at about 1:07 p.m., a citizen called 911 to report a female’s body had been located off the trail. At that time, it was obvious that this person was deceased.”
The officials noted that after the discovery, the case then went from a missing person’s investigation to a homicide investigation. However, the identity of the body, as well as a cause and manner of death, have yet to be formally determined.
“While we firmly believe this is the body of Rachel Morin, that final determination, that final say belongs with the medical examiner,” authorities continued, “and that has not happened yet.”
