You’re out for a run, the trail stretching ahead, fresh air filling your lungs. It’s your time to unwind, to feel strong. But for Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mom of five, that peace was shattered on a summer evening in 2023. She headed out on Maryland’s Ma & Pa Trail, a place she loved, and never came home. What happened to her—a brutal crime that shook a community—exposes a chilling reality: for women, even a simple walk can carry unspoken risks.
Allison dives into Rachel’s story, a vibrant woman whose life was cut short, and the relentless search for her killer that spanned states and borders. We’ll talk ab out the dangers women face outdoors, the gut-wrenching details of her case, and the emotional questions it raises about safety, justice, and how we protect ourselves when the world feels unsafe. It’s a conversation that’ll hit you hard and leave you thinking long after it ends.
