A migrant from El Salvador has been busted for the brutal 2023 rape and murder of mom of five Rachel Morin on a Maryland hiking trail, cops said.
Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 23, was tracked down in Tulsa, Oklahoma Friday, after police matched his DNA to the gruesome crime scene, Harford County Sherriff Jeffrey Gahler told reporters Saturday.
“Rachel’s murderer is no longer a free man and, hopefully, he will never have the opportunity to walk free again,” Gahler said.
According to police, Martinez-Hernandez has connections to Salvadoran street gangs and had a violent history that included at least one other homicide.
“Victor Hernandez did not come to this country to make a better life for him or his family, he came here to escape the crimes he committed in El Salvador. He came here to murder Rachel and God-willing, no one else,” Gahler said.
“But that should have never been allowed to happen.”
The accused killer illegally crossed into the US in February 2023 after he vicously murdered another young woman.
Martinez-Hernandez was in the US for six months before he allegedly targeted Morin while she was walking alone on the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in Bel Air.
Her naked body suffered such severe trauma that family said it looked as though “her head had been smashed in with a rock.”
About a month after the killing, police matched Martinez-Hernandez’s DNA to a sample recovered at the scene of a home invasion and assault of a young girl in Los Angeles.

I'm sorry to say it, but that was my first thought. Was she one of those who voted for this?
But we need to have that conversation or we'll keep reading more stories like this.
Prayers for her family.

SAY THEIR NAMES, DEMAND JUSTICE. ELISA FLETCHER, LAKEN RILEY, MONTGOMERY JACKSON.
Does it matter if the Criminals are Citizens or Illegals, the shock of the crime should? They were HEINOUS, VICIOUS, AND IF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WASN’T SLAVES TO THE ACLU WE MIGHT HAVE JUSTICE.

when do we personally hold those who inflicted this on Americans? when?
How are we going to gain the power to hold anyone responsible, when we couldn’t even maintain a boycott against GM or the NFL?
If more women carried firearms and trained to protect themselves, THEN there’d be justice.
Don’t be a victim - fight back.
Agree fly them there so no escape can happen.
