Emotions ran high for Rachel Morin’s loved ones after police arrested Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez in connection with her murder.
Authorities apprehended the suspect as he sat nonchalantly in a bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Upon arrest, Hernandez falsely identified himself and denied any connection to both the attack on a 9-year-old girl in Los Angeles and Rachel Morin’s murder.
Rachel Morin’s body was discovered by the police almost five months after she went missing. Hernandez was arrested 10 months later, leaving over a year unaccounted for during his stay in the United States.
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.
