Share this @internewscast.com

A week after a paddleboarder from Maine was discovered murdered in a neighborhood pond, residents in the tranquil coastal town are still seeking answers amidst growing concerns of a potential serial killer. 

The deceased, 48-year-old Sunshine “Sunny” Stewart, was found early on July 3, merely six hours after embarking on a solo paddleboarding excursion around Crawford Pond, as reported by the Maine State Police. 

Stewart’s remains were reportedly found near 100 Acre Island, a wooded area accessible only by boat, according to WMTW 8.

At least 13 bodies – with the majority found in wooded or remote areas – have been discovered throughout Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, according to authorities. 

Last month, the remains of 21-year-old Adriana Suazo were found in a wooded area in Milton, Massachusetts, according to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office. Suazo’s body showed no signs of trauma, with her cause of death remaining undetermined pending an investigation by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. 

Given the recent string of victims found within the region, MSP has asked “that residents continue to remain vigilant, be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.”

But for locals within the community, the words of warning are not enough to ease their fears of a killer lurking within their midst. 

“In a place where most people don’t lock their doors, like, ever, it definitely feels a little intrusive,” Williams said, adding, “I don’t know, [it’s] terrifying.”
