Summary

Investigators looking into the shocking death of 37-year-old Rachel Morin, have been tight-lipped on how the mom of five died, the type of injuries she sustained, or whether she was fully clothed or not.

They're also pushing back on comments made by Michael Gabriszeski, who claims that his stepdaughter, Cecilia, found the body of Rachel Morin. Gabriszeski said that Cecilia saw Morin's body first and she began hyperventilating. He says police told Cecilia to sit down, and that she did, in a big pool of blood.

Gabriszeksi says Morin was laying on her back, fully naked, and she had brutal head trauma. It looked like her head had been smashed with a rock.

The Hartford Sheriff's Office Spokesperson said of Gabriszeski, "He has no first-hand knowledge of the crime scene."

The spokesman says Mr. Gabriszeski was in the area to help search for the missing woman, but "was not within eyesight of the crime scene”.
