TL;DR Summary

DNA evidence has linked the killing of a Maryland woman, Rachel Morin, whose body was found near a hiking trail, to a Los Angeles home invasion and assault of a young girl earlier this year. Both cases remain unsolved, but detectives have matched DNA collected from the crime scenes. Authorities released surveillance footage and photos of the suspect from the Los Angeles incident and are hoping someone will recognize him. The motive behind the killing of Rachel Morin is believed to be a potentially random act of violence. The sheriff's office has increased patrols in the area and plans to install cameras along the trail.
