Rachel Morin Case: Police Say She Was the Victim of “Violent Homicide”

Morin’s family further expressed their gratitude on social media, with her sister sharing a message from their mom.

“As a mom, I appreciate the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and the worldwide community that grieves with me for my young daughter,” her Aug. 10 note read. “Thank you for caring. Truly.”

And she further shared ways they plan to honor her late daughter’s memory.

“Because of the tremendous outpouring of prayers, love and concern, our family is in the process of making arrangements for a Celebration of Life service to which friends and the community will be invited (more details to come),” she added. “And because Rachel was an avid runner, we are in the early stages of planning a 5K walk/run in her honor with the hope of having a trail of flowers.”
