Overview

• Harford County Circuit Court dismissed the suit Thursday after the parties reached an undisclosed settlement, according to court records and counsel.
• The complaint by Morin’s oldest child and two fathers accused Patricia and Rebekah Morin of fraud and unjust enrichment over donations collected for the children.
• Filings alleged funds moved from an account tied to Rice, Murtha & Psoras to an online “Honor of Rachel Morin Trust” on March 1, 2024, and that none reached the children.
• Defense attorney Randolph Rice called the outcome a complete vindication and said the dismissal bars refiling, while the plaintiffs’ lawyer declined to discuss terms due to confidentiality.
• A similar 2024 suit was previously dismissed by mutual consent, and this civil resolution follows the conviction and life-without-parole sentence of Victor Martinez-Hernandez for Morin’s murder.
