NEW SWEDEN — The Maine State Police announced planned searches for 14-year-old Stefanie Damron will take place May 2-4 in the New Sweden area.
Multiple agencies including the Maine State Police, Maine Warden Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and numerous volunteers from search and rescue organizations will participate in the coordinated effort.
Damron was reported missing by her family on September 24, 2024.
