Emotions ran high for Rachel Morin’s loved ones after police arrested Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez in connection with her murder.

Authorities found the suspect casually sitting in a Tulsa, Oklahoma bar. During the arrest, Hernandez initially lied about his identity and denied involvement in the attack on a 9-year-old girl in Los Angeles and the murder of Morin.

Police discovered Rachel Morin’s body nearly five months after she went missing. Another 10 months passed before Hernandez’s arrest. More than a year of his time in the United States remains unaccounted for.

While the arrest brought some closure, Morin’s sister, Rebekah, said it also felt like “day one all over again.”

Matt McMahon, the father of Morin’s eldest daughter, said the Ma and Pa Trail now feels like it “belongs to Rachel again.”

Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez is scheduled for sentencing in August.
