The county has approved a walk to honor Rachel Morin. The walk will be on Saturday August 19th. They will meet at 11 am at the William Street entrance. Then at 11:30, they will begin walking. They will walk to the end of the first half of trail (Tollgate Road) and back.

Here is the notice from the county:

We the family of Rachel Morin, would like to invite all men, women and children (if you would like) from the community to join us on Saturday, August 19th for the #RememberingRachelMorin walk.

Together, as a family and a community, we can grieve the tragic loss of a woman who was so full of life. Please join us as we pray and mourn for our beloved Rachel.

We are hoping to have a “Trail of Flowers and Light” to line both sides of the trail for our walk on the Ma & Pa Trail. If you are able to, we ask that you bring flowers and a battery operated candle to lay on either side of the trail somewhere as we walk Rachel’s last steps.

We will meet at 11 am at the William Street entrance. Then at 11:30, we will begin walking. We will walk to the end of the first half of trail (Tollgate Road) and back.

There will be a very limited amount of t-shirts available at no cost (we will release the business name in a few days). If there are any other businesses that wish to make and donate t-shirts as well, please message me. After the walk if you want to stop by FLAVOR in Bel Air, they have agreed to donate a portion of all sales that day to the fund for Rachel’s children. Thank you.

*We ask that everyone who reads this, please share! If you are media we only request that if you quote the above statement, you do so in its entirety.

Our Harford County Sheriffs Foundation stepped up and assisted us with an immediate police operational need. The Sheriff’s Foundation purchased a Gator which will be used to patrol sections of the Ma Pa trail. The Gator will allow Deputies to increase patrol coverage on the trail and quickly respond to incidents. Currently, the Sheriff’s Office has one Gator which is housed at the Southern Precinct in Edgewood and is detailed out for Agency needs and police operations.

Detectives are still asking for your help! If you saw or know anything no matter how large or small please contact us.

If you were on the Ma & Pa Trail on Saturday, or near the trail or trail heads and took photos or video, we are asking if you would please share them with investigators. There could be something helpful in one of your photos that might bring us one more piece of the puzzle.

If you would have a photo or video to share, please send it to Sgt. Maddox at maddoxc@harfordsheriff.org.

As of this morning, we have already received over 200 tips from concerned community members in reference to the murder of Rachel Morin. Thank you for all the support you have given to the Sheriff’s Office and our community.
