“Polite” Teen Suspected of Murder After Joining Paddleboarder Search
Following the discovery of Sunshine “Sunny” Stewart’s body at Crawford Pond, 17-year-old Deven Young initially volunteered to help police with the investigation at the Mic Mac Cove Campground. However, Young led authorities on a “wild goose chase” before being arrested and charged with Stewart’s murder. The victim, an experienced paddleboarder, had been strangled and bludgeoned to death, with her body found under unusual circumstances, leading officials to rule the death a homicide. The teenager has been held at a youth detention facility and faces a motion to be tried as an adult.
