A 17-year-old has been charged with murder following the discovery of a paddleboarder's body at Crawford Pond, Maine, a popular summer retreat. The victim, Sunshine Stewart, aged 48, was reported missing earlier this month. Her death has left the community in shock and apprehension.

Deven Young, a teenager from Frankfort, Maine, was taken into custody in relation to the case. During a brief court appearance, he denied the charges.
