Scary! They actually did the right things regarding social media and yet there were ways to get around it.

NEW SWEDEN, Maine (WGME) -- Maine State Police have released new photos of a missing 14-year-old girl from New Sweden in an effort to help find her.

 

 

October 23, 2024
The family has now put out statement regarding their daughter which outlines a little more about the day she was last seen.
In their statement they said: “Stefanie got into an argument with her sister while we were gone and walked off. We live a half mile back in the woods and our kids are very comfortable in their surroundings so there was nothing to raise flags the first few hours.”
The family also confirmed they are working on planning a ground search in New Sweden.

@Unalienable Rights : Thanks for the link !
It's good the family put out a statement, did they say anything initially ?

Re. the red bolded :
Was there a ground search right away, and this is the second one ?
Lots of questions.

Hope Stefanie is found safely, but quite a bit of time has passed.
Any possibility she is with a friend ?
Omo.
 
New Sweden Maine is very close to the border with Canada. :)
I live in NH ...so also bordering Canada. If I was in Canada and had legal concerns, I think I'd just go to the local police. If I was in Portugal, I'd head for the Embassy or Consulate. The wording just seemed weird to me. I work with Canada daily, so I don't really consider it another country, though it is. It's just my Canadian counterparts.
 

Maine State Police and Boston FBI to hold press conference on missing New Sweden teen​

The Maine State Police say they will host a joint press conference on Monday with the Boston FBI Division about the disappearance of 14-year-old Stefanie Damron.

Damron was last seen on September 23rd, going into the woods near her home on West Road in New Sweden, north of Presque Isle.


Have they found her?
 
Last month, Stefanie's parents, Christopher and Lisa Marie Damron, said the teen "got into an argument with her sister" on the day she was last seen, and then "walked off."

"We live a half mile back in the woods and our kids are very comfortable in their surroundings so there was nothing to raise flags the first few hours," the parents, who said they weren't home at the time, added in a statement shared on social media and with local station WAGM-TV

Meanwhile, on her Facebook page, Stefanie's mom, who did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, has been resharing posts from police and posting her own pleas.

“Please keep your eyes open and sharing," she wrote on Sunday, Nov. 3. "Help us bring our baby girl home safe and sound."

 
i cant think of the last time i remember the FBI getting involved with the case of a missing child in Maine.
Only the CARD Teams get involved, to my knowledge.

Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss says the FBI's CARD team is now involved in the search. CARD stands for Child Abduction Rapid Deployment and the mission of the team is to investigate potential crimes against children, including things like trafficking, kidnappings, and abuse.

family reposted her missing persons flyer within the last 45 minutes. Id assume they wouldnt have done that if she was no longer missing
I wonder if LE has spoken with the family yet? I guess that would depend on the reason they are holding the pressor.

Is the consensus that Stefanie left of her own accord with someone she met, or is foul play suspected? Curious what others think happened to her.
