Months after the body of Rachel Morin is found along a trail the Ma & Pa Trail, her killer is still a mystery.

DNA found at the crime scene matched to a home invasion in Los Angeles 5 months earlier, but investigators are still not sure who the DNA belongs to. The only evidence made public is a video of the man they believe is the suspect, seen leaving the home invasion scene in LA.

But now, WMAR 2 reports that investigators are following up a lead in Washington DC. Police aren't calling the person a suspect, but the hope is this person can point them in the right direction.

Morin's family is turning to all options in trying to bring this killer to justice. They are working with profiler Pat Brown to provide more information about the possible suspect in Morin's murder. The possible suspect is Hispanic and appeared to be in his early to mid-20s. He stands around 5 foot 9 and weighs about 160 pounds.

Brown says this person is likely narcissistic, lacks empathy, is manipulative, and a pathological liar.

The family has also created a flyer using still images from the doorbell camera footage of the suspect sending out 10,000 flyers to homes and schools near the LA crime scene.

Morin Family attorney, Randolph Rice, tells CBS News the reason the family is reaching out to schools in Los Angeles is the suspect could have been in high school as early as two years ago. They are hoping a teacher who taught him and saw him every single day during the school year will recognize the suspect.
