The man suspected in the bludgeoning death of Rachel Morin is no longer on the run.

Harford Sheriff Jeff Gahler announced the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, an undocumented migrant from El Salvador. Police say the 23-year-old is suspected of a murder in his home country and the rape and assault of a 9-year-old California girl and her mother. 

Morin's body was found along the Ma & Pa Trail 10 months ago. DNA found at the crime scene matched a home invasion in Los Angeles, leading to the suspect's arrest in Oklahoma.

Sandra Birchmore, a 23-year-old teacher's aide and instructional assistant,  was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts, home in February 2021. Sandra was known to many officers of the Stoughton Police department due to her involvement with an Explorer program as a teen. Her death, initially ruled a suicide, became the focus of a federal homicide investigation, leading to the 2024 arrest of former Stoughton police officer Matthew Farwell, who was charged with her murder. Turns out Sandra had been groomed since age 10. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack update the case with additional forensic evidence that is just now coming to light.

Court documents reveal disturbing new details of the  gruesome  murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.  D4vd,  David Anthony Burke, charged with first-degree murder, continuous sexual acts, lewd and lascivious sexual acts with an individual under 14 years old and mutilating the human remains of a body. He has pleaded not guilty.  

The documents reveal D4vd provided Celeste with a burner cellphone and the two discussed abortion, Plan B birthcontrol, and the fact that Celeste wanted more than just a sexual relationship. 

Court document alleges D4vd ordered two chainsaws from Amazon as well as  a body bag, an inflatable pool and a burn cage via Amazon using a fake name.
