BEL AIR, Md. — Harford County has begun installing a video camera system on the hiking trail where Rachel Morin's body was discovered in early August.

The system will be able to quickly detect unusual activity and locate a specific person or vehicle of interest according to County Executive Bob Cassilly.

It will cover nearly two miles of the Ma & Pa Trail from the Williams Street trailhead to North Tollgate Road.

Data collected will be made accessible to law enforcement and emergency first-responders.

Morin was reported missing around 11 p.m. on Saturday, August 5 when she did not come home from a walk.

Her body was discovered the next day.
