Maryland Sheriff Jeff Gahler discusses similarities between the murders of Rachel Morin in Harford County and Laken Riley in Georgia. He urged pedestrians to 'break' routines.
Maryland Sheriff Jeff Gahler, who is investigating the August 2023 murder of Rachel Morin, suggested pedestrians 'break' their routines following the Feb. 22 killing of Augusta University student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus. Both women – Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, and Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student – were murdered while jogging on popular pedestrian trails. 'We put out a lot of recommendations following Rachel's case. Break your routine.
Just 11 days after authorities found Morin's body, the sheriff's office announced a link between evidence found at the scene of Morin's murder to evidence found at the scene of the LA home invasion using the Combined DNA Index System , leading them to a single DNA match for an unidentified Hispanic male. The Los Angeles Police Department collected a hat left behind at the scene of the March 2023 home invasion that turned violent and injured people, including children.
Social media users have compared the two cases due to not only the similar circumstances under which both victims were found dead, but also because Riley's alleged killer somewhat matches the description of the unidentified suspect in Morin's case. Gahler, however, does not believe the two murders are related based on evidence his office has investigated so far. 'Sadly, we're monitoring cases from across the country… anytime there's something tragic. And, this one, because of some of the parallels… you have a young woman out on a very safe trail… jogging, as it was in our case with Rachel Morin, mother of five who went out for a jog in a very safe area and was brutally killed,' Gahler said.
