A teenager who reportedly led police on a “wild goose chase” in their search for a paddleboarder at a Maine campground has been charged with her murder.
Deven Young, a 17-year-old who was at the Mic Mac Campground in Maine alongside his parents, was charged Friday with the murder of Sunshine “Sunny” Stewart, ABC News reported. Stewart, 48, was a newcomer to the camp. She was allegedly found strangled and bludgeoned to death after she’d gone missing while paddleboarding shortly before Independence Day.
Katharine Lunt, the owner of the Mic Mac Campground, reacted to Stewart’s death in an interview with ABC News. “It’s not a place where these things happen,” she said.
“It’s not a place where we’re suspect of each other,” she continued, calling the campground a “haven for all of us.”
Young always offered to help with yard work and made wooden crafts he provided to other campers, Lunt said. She also claimed he wanted to help the police investigate Stewart’s murder.
“He volunteered, he said he had some information, and he took them in the opposite direction of where Sunny was found.” Lunt told the outlet. “He had said he had something to show them, and took them out on the lake on pretty much a wild goose chase.”
