A criminal profiler has created a behavioural outline for the killer of Maryland mother-of-five Rachel Morin.

Nearly a month after Morin’s body was found on the Ma & Pa trail in Bel Air, authorities continue to hunt for the man believed to have killed her.

Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler told Law&Crime that hundreds of tips have poured in but detectives still “have no idea” where the killer is.

“There’s nothing right now to stop him from doing it again. I believe, and our investigators believe, he will do it again,” Sheriff Gahler said.

On Thursday, Morin’s sister Rebekah Morin shared a behavioural profile built by a volunteer criminal profiler. It suggested that the killer has psychopathic traits and may have travelled to Bel Air because he knew someone in the tight-knit community.

Police previously released footage from the scene of a home invasion and assault in Los Angeles, where DNA found matched DNA at the Morin crime scene. Sheriff Gahler has said the suspect might be a serial killer.

He confirmed that detectives are now in Chicago tracking leads.
