PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Authorities in Maine said Friday they have charged a 17-year-old with murder in the death of a paddleboarder who went missing on a rural pond that is a popular summer destination.

The 17-year-old suspect in the murder of a paddleboarder earlier this month will appear in court on Friday, where he is expected to be charged with one count of murder. Sunshine Stewart was found dead on July 3 at Crawford Pond in Union, Maine. Her cause of death was strangulation and blunt force trauma, Maine State Police revealed Thursday.

The Maine Attorney General's Office says it has brought a murder charge against the teenage suspect in the killing of Sunshine "Sunny" Stewart, the woman who was found dead two weeks ago after she went paddleboarding on Crawford Pond in Union.
