Mystery Surrounds Case of Paddleboarder Found Slain at Pond

The investigation continues into the case of a paddleboarder who was found dead at a pond in Maine last week.

According to WCSH, 48-year-old Sunshine Stewart was discovered deceased at Crawford Pond in Union on July 3. Her death has been classified as a homicide, though officials have not disclosed many details about the events leading to her demise.

It is believed that Stewart disappeared on July 2 from the Mic Mac Campground, where she had been residing for a few days. She intended to spend her summer at the campsite, but when she did not come back from paddleboarding the next day, concerns were raised.

Katherine Lunt, the campground’s owner, informed WCSH that the police have been present on her land daily, as the pond is only accessible through the campground or private properties.

Meanwhile, a source told the Midwest Villager that Stewart’s car was towed from her home amid the ongoing homicide probe.

No arrests have been made, and Stewart’s cause of death remains undisclosed. According to the publication, Maine State Police are seeking information about any sightings of Stewart or activity around 100 Acre Island between 6 and 9 p.m. on July 2.
