Harford County Sheriff Jeffery Gahler held a press conference on Saturday to announce that an arrest has been made in the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five from Maryland.
Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was arrested late Friday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and booked the following morning, according to FOX News. The 23-year-old suspect has been charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape.
“Rachel was not his first victim,” Gahler stated. “It is my understanding that this suspect, this monster, fled to the United States after committing the brutal murder of a young woman in El Salvador a month earlier in January of 2023.”
“Once in our country, he brutally attacked a nine-year-old girl and her mother in a home invasion in March of 2023 in Los Angeles,” he added. “After we had the video, we knew what he looked like, but we didn’t know who he was.”
Morin’s body was found last August on the Ma and Pa Trail, two days after she disappeared.
After Gahler gave a briefing on the suspect, he had a few choice words for the Biden administration.
“We are 1800 miles away from the southern border,” he said. “And American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies.”
“This is the second time in two years that an innocent Harford County woman has lost her life to a criminal in our country illegally,” he said, repeating the statement for emphasis. “In both cases, they are suspects from El Salvador with ties to criminal gangs. This should not be happening.”
As the Biden administration has continued its rule, criminals have been crossing the southern border and committing heinous crimes against Americans.
One of the most prolific cases involved Laken Riley, a University of Augusta nursing student who was murdered by Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, during her afternoon jog earlier this year. Riley’s murder was a crime of opportunity. Her killer also had a criminal past.
As all of these crimes have occurred, the Biden administration has largely remained silent. A few months ago, Biden pledged that he would strengthen immigration policies to protect Americans, but he has done nothing.
While the Biden administration and liberal officials claim that most of the illegals entering the country are coming to seek a better life, they are blind to the fact that dangerous illegals from deadly gangs such as Tren de Aragua have begun setting up all over the country.
“He did not come here to make a better life for himself or his family,” said Gahler, according to Daily Voice. “He came here to escape a crime he committed in El Salvador and killed Rachel and god willing, nobody else.”
The Biden administration’s absence from the southern border has caused states like Texas to create and enforce border policies to ensure that citizens are safe. Other states are creating similar policies.
Gahler also mentioned that May 20 would have been Morin’s 38th birthday, which makes finding her killer bittersweet, stating, “Hopefully he will never have the opportunity to walk free again.”
