July 21, 2025
Prosecutors in Maine say they will seek to try a 17-year-old charged with murder in the death of a paddleboarder as an adult. The body of 48-year-old Sunshine “Sunny” Stewart of St. George was found this month on Crawford Pond in Union. Stewart went missing while paddleboarding before her killing, and her death sent shockwaves through the local community. Police charged Deven Young, of Frankfort, Maine, with murder in the death of Stewart last week. The Office of the Maine Attorney General said Monday it will attempt to try Young as an adult.
