Rachel Morin’s brother gave a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention discussing the impact of his sister’s murder on their family. The perpetrator, Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, was convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree rape, third-degree sex offense, and kidnapping in April 2024 after killing Morin on a hiking trail in Maryland. Martinez-Hernandez had entered the U.S. without authorization and was linked to other assaults. He is now facing life in prison without the possibility of parole. The case highlighted flaws in U.S. immigration policy, with Morin’s family criticizing President Biden and Vice President Harris for not taking responsibility. President Trump, who met with El Salvador’s president, praised his efforts to address gang violence in the country. The tragedy also sparked discussions at the RNC about the importance of immigration reform and public safety. The murder case had been unsolved for 10 months before Martinez-Hernandez was arrested in Oklahoma. DNA evidence linked him to the crime scene, and witnesses confirmed his presence in the area at the time of the murder. Morin’s family expressed gratitude for the support they received from President Trump and criticized the lack of response from the current administration.
