For eight long months, Patty Morin was haunted by the fear that her daughter’s murderer might remain at large forever. That anxiety shifted when a detective took her aside and shared a pivotal piece of information that changed her outlook entirely.
Just two months later, authorities had Victor Martinez-Hernandez in custody.
Now, as the Nancy Guthrie investigation reaches its 16-week mark, Morin offers her support to another family enduring an agonizing wait for answers.
“It’s been four months, and we still haven’t received any updates,” commented Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five who was tragically killed. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean the investigators have nothing. They could very well be making progress behind the scenes, especially with multiple agencies involved.”
In Tucson, Arizona, a photograph of Nancy Guthrie adorns a sign where people have gathered to leave heartfelt messages. The 84-year-old mother of journalist and TV host Savannah Guthrie has been missing since she disappeared from her home on February 1. Law enforcement is actively searching for her.
