The prime suspect in Maryland mother of five Rachel Morin's grisly murder could attack more people if he isn't caught, an official told Fox News Digital.

"This individual poses a threat to every community from here to Los Angeles because we don’t know where he’s laying his head at night," said Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler.

Morin's body was found on Aug. 6 in a wooded area on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland one day after she left home for a walk and didn't return.

DNA found at the crime scene matched a suspect wanted for a March home invasion and assault of a girl in Los Angeles.

Police released surveillance video of the shirtless man fleeing the Los Angeles home.

While DNA from the two crimes match, the Los Angeles Police Department and local police, working with the FBI, have yet to identify the man connected to the violent crimes. This remains the "top priority," Gahler said.

"This person has an absolute disregard for the sanctity of human life and, until he’s arrested, there is a threat he’ll do something harmful to someone else," he said.

Gahler believes the suspect has likely committed other acts of violence.

"I just don’t believe you do two things that are so serious in nature and that’s your starting point. Most likely you’ve been involved in other crimes," he told Fox News Digital.

The Harford County Sheriff's Office asks the public to continue coming forward with tips.

"It’s very likely someone knows him around there and someone knows him here," he said.

Online sleuths were quick to suggest Morin's new boyfriend, Richard Tobin, who reported her missing, may have been involved in her death, which he has publicly denied.

"At this point, there is no indication that he was involved. But until we know who this guy is or whether he acted alone, the entire world is a suspect," Gahler said.

Tobin, who made his relationship with Morin official on social media four days before she disappeared, posted a tribute to her on Facebook on Sunday.

"Rip rachelmorin love you baby, you will be forever missed," he captioned a photo of him holding a single red rose and staring at an outdoor memorial.

"You showed me how rewarding it was to be a man and treat you like a queen! Making you happy gave me joy every day, and I’m so glad I could give you that."
