The man suspected of raping and killing Rachel Morin on the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in August 2023 was found guilty after a nine day jury trial ended Monday. The jury deliberated for a little more than an hour before finding that Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez was guilty of charges including pre-meditated murder and rape. Martinez-Hernandez, a Salvadoran native who illegally entered the United States in 2023, was arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June 2024, after investigators used DNA found on Morin's body to identify his family members, who provided police with information about him. He was charged with first-degree rape, first-degree murder and other charges relating to the death of the 37-year-old Bel Air mother of five who was reported missing by her boyfriend on Aug. 5, 2023, hours after she went for a walk on the trail in Bel Air.
