July 17, 2025
Police in Maine say they have arrested a 17-year-old state resident in connection with the killing of a paddleboarder who went missing on a rural pond. The body of 48-year-old Sunshine Stewart, of Tenants Harbor, was found earlier this month on Crawford Pond in Union, about 80 miles north of Portland. Maine State Police say a teenager was taken into custody without incident in Union on Wednesday night. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in August determined Stewart’s cause of death was strangulation and blunt force trauma.
