PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) – Stefanie Damron, a missing teen from New Sweden, has now been missing for 104 days.
Damron went missing at the end of September, and was last seen walking into the woods near her home in New Sweden.
In December, the FBI announced a $15,000 reward for information leading to Damron’s safe return, or information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of anyone involved in her disappearance.
Monday, the Maine Department of Public Safety confirmed that more than a dozen tips have come in since the reward was announced. The department also stated that detectives are still following up on leads in this case.
WAGM requested an interview regarding the impact of the reward, but this request was denied.
“We have conducted more interviews, traffic roadblocks to provide the public with information and continue to follow up on the few leads that are coming in,” says Lt. Darrin Crane, the commanding officer of the northern division of the Major Crimes Unit. “We continue to work with the FBI and all local, county and other state agencies. The State Police is dedicated to finding Stephanie or determining what happened to her. We have thousands of investigative hours into trying to do just that and will continue on with the investigation.”
Lt. Crane added that to their knowledge, Damron does not have current access to electronic devices and limited access to social media. The Maine Warden Service has canvassed the woods for Damron but has had no credible information of sightings of the 14-year-old girl.
Law enforcement are asking anyone with information concerning Damron’s whereabouts to contact the Maine State Police at 1-800-824-2261 or 207-532-5400.
