A Tragic Discovery in Maine: Paddleboarder's Death Ruled a Homicide
In a quiet town in Maine, a shocking turn of events has left the community in disbelief.
Beloved Local Found Dead
Sunshine Stewart, a beloved local, was found dead last Thursday on Crawford Pond. Initially assumed to be an accident, the state medical examiner confirmed it was a homicide.
Community in Disbelief
The news has sent ripples through the tight-knit community. Kate Hamar, a local resident, shared:
"At first, a lot of people thought it was a boating accident."
Last Seen at Mic Mac Campground
Stewart was a familiar face at the Mic Mac campground, where she spent her summers. Kathy Lunt, the campground owner, recalled that Stewart was last seen heading out on her paddleboard on Wednesday evening.
Investigation Underway
Investigators have been busy, searching a dumpster at the campground and appealing to the public for information. They are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who saw Stewart paddleboarding between 6 and 9 p.m. last Wednesday.
Community Mourns
Meredith Smith, a friend of Stewart's, described her as a kind and wonderful person:
"To know Sunny, I don't think she had a bad bone in her body."
A GoFundMe page set up in Stewart's honor has already raised over $17,000.
Seeking Answers
As the investigation continues, the community grapples with the unsettling reality. The police assure more information will be released as the investigation progresses, but for now, the town of Union is left to mourn and seek answers.
