Cops find body after Maryland woman Rachel Morin vanishes on nature trail
Police have discovered a corpse at the same Maryland hiking trail a woman was reported missing on Saturday night.
Rachel Morin, 37, was last seen heading out to the Ma and Pa Trail, in Bel Air, on Saturday at around 6 p.m., according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
After locating Morin’s vehicle on Sunday morning near the entrance of the trail on Williams Street, law enforcement combed the area and found a woman’s dead body at 1:07 p.m.
“The identity of the victim, as well as the cause, and manner of death are still under investigation,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Officials said the investigation remains active as officials continue searching the trail and identifying the body recovered at the scene.
The discovery was made just hours after the sheriff’s office described the search for Morin as “very active” when speaking to Fox News.
The sheriff’s office described Morin as a 5’2″, 107-pound woman with blond hair and blue eyes.
She left her home wearing a dark tank top, black sports bra, black spandex shorts, and gray sneakers, officials added.
Detectives urged anyone who was at the Ma and Pa Trail on Saturday and Sunday to call 911 if they spotted anything suspicious at the scene.
The trail is located near the center of Bel Air, about 46 miles northeast of Baltimore.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for additional comment.

Did Iowa women’s basketball remain in the Associated Press top 25 after Maryland loss?

Hear from Sydney Affolter, Lucy Olsen after Iowa women’s basketball falls to Maryland
Following Sunday’s loss to then-No. 7 Maryland, Iowa women’s basketball could’ve taken a tumble in the latest Associated Press top 25. However, the Hawkeyes are still ranked.
Iowa (12-3, 2-2 Big Ten Conference) remained at No. 23 after the 74-66 home loss to the Terrapins that snapped the Hawkeyes’ 21-game Big Ten home winning streak. It was a game in which Iowa fell behind by as much as 25 points before rallying to make things respectable in the second half.
Iowa will look to rebound Thursday night at Illinois. The Hawkeyes are 1-1 in conference road games, having stumbled at Michigan State in mid-December before pulling out an 80-68 win at Penn State on New Year’s Day. Tipoff at Illinois is set for 6 p.m. on BTN+.
