Months after the body of Rachel Morin is found along a trail the Ma & Pa Trail, her killer is still a mystery. DNA found at the crime scene matched to a home invasion in Los Angeles 5 months earlier, but investigators are still not sure who the DNA belongs to. The only evidence made public is a video of the man they believe is the suspect, seen leaving the home invasion scene in LA. But now, WMAR 2 reports that investigators are following up a lead in Washington DC. Police aren't calling the person a suspect, but the hope is this person can point them in the right direction. Morin's family is turning to all options in trying to bring this killer to justice. They are working with profiler Pat Brown to provide more information about the possible suspect in Morin's murder. The possible suspect is Hispanic and appeared to be in his early to mid-20s. He stands around 5 foot 9 and weighs about 160 pounds. Brown says this person is likely narcissistic, lacks empathy, is manipulative, and a pathological liar. The family has also created a flyer using still images from the doorbell camera footage of the suspect sending out 10,000 flyers to homes and schools near the LA crime scene. Morin Family attorney, Randolph Rice, tells CBS News the reason the family is reaching out to schools in Los Angeles is the suspect could have been in high school as early as two years ago. They are hoping a teacher who taught him and saw him every single day during the school year will recognize the suspect.

Sheriff Burch said more female students may be involved.  Now the pair have returned to the US and have married according to a marriage license. Crow is no longer a member of the clergy.

The long-awaited trial of Michelle Troconis got underway with prosecutors presenting evidence from the day Jennifer Farber Dulos went missing.  The first person to testify in the case was Lieutenant Aaron LaTourette, New Canaan Police Department. He was the first patrol officer on the scene and the first person to notice possible blood in the garage. Talking to another officer wearing a body cam, LaTourette is heard talking about the possibility the vehicle hit a deer, but didn't see anything indicating there had been that type of event. The jury watched 20 minutes of the footage of LaTourette and Officer Black of the New Canaan Police Department walking through the home and focusing on parts of the garage where officers believe they see what appears to be blood stains on the floor and a black SUV.  The officers are also seen looking through Jennifer Dulos' purse. The nanny,  Lauren Almeida, tells police it is unusual for Jennifer's purse to be in the house when she isn't home. It was the nanny who called the police in May of 2019, the night Jennifer Dulos disappeared.  Lauren Almeida has now testified about witnessing the marriage go from one of love and fun and trust to one of fear and intimidation after Fotis Dulos admitted to an affair.  Almeida told the jury how she helped Jennifer Dulos secretly move her things out of the house over a while so as not to alarm Fotis Dulos.  Almeida began as a part-time babysitter for the Dulos children in 2012 and eventually became their full-time nanny. On the stand, Almeida can tell the jury about the day Jennifer Dulos vanished. Jennifer Dulos dropped her children off at school and was never seen again. Her body has never been found. Almeida says the big change in the relationship between Jennifer and Fotis Dulos was during a vacation in March 2017. After a week in Aspen skiing in the snow, the family spent a week in Miami skiing in the water. In Miami, Jennifer Dulos tells the nanny, that Fotis Dulos is having an affair and she has proof. Almeida says she doesn't believe it at first, but over the next few months, everything changed. Jennifer Dulos has found receipts from when Fotis Dulos went to Utah on a trip with Troconis and another couple and emails confirming the relationship.  Almeida is convinced to help Jennifer Dulos secretly move items out of the house because she fears what Fotis Dulos would do to her or the kids if she filed for divorce while they were living under the same roof.

Alex Murdaugh’s three-day evidentiary hearing takes place later this month. The hearings will held in open court and court-controlled television cameras will be allowed. They cannot, however, focus on the faces of testifying jurors, who will be referred to by their juror numbers, not their names. The hearing will determine whether Murdaugh will be granted a new murder trial, after his attorneys, alleged jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca “Becky” Hill. Former S.C. Chief Justice Jean Toal is now the judge hearing the case. She took control of her South Carolina courtroom -, making several rulings affecting Alex Murdaugh’s bid. His attorneys say jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill impacted the original trial’s outcome, and that according to Toal, will be the defense’s burden to prove. The attorneys argued the law only required them to prove improper contact with jurors had occurred. Toal says she will rule that, “Prejudice must be proved, not presumed.” Toal says the stand she will take on the specific evidence of ”what was said, when it was said, and how it impacted the jury,” lies with the defense, not an assumption on Becky Hill’s credibility. Toal told the courtroom that she would not allow the upcoming evidentiary hearing to turn into a trial of Becky Hill. Becky Hill is facing her own ongoing ethics and criminal investigations related to her conduct during and after the Murdaugh trial.  The judge says she intends to limit the witness list to the twelve deliberating jurors and Becky Hill.   An alternate juror and Juror 785, now known as the “egg lady” due to her insistence that she retrieve a dozen eggs from the jury room before leaving the courthouse, will not be allowed to testify.  Toal says she sees  “no necessity” to hear from anyone other than the (deliberating) jurors.”   What's more, Toal says she will be the one asking the questions.
