NEW SWEDEN, Maine (WGME) - Two hundred days. That’s how long a Maine family has spent searching for their missing daughter.
Police say 14-year-old Stefanie Damron was last seen on September 23, 2024, leaving her house on West Road in New Sweden and walking into the woods. She was reported missing on September 24, 2024.
On Dec. 2, 2024, the FBI and Maine State Police offered a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the safe return of Damron and/or the arrest and prosecution of anyone involved in her disappearance.
Damron is a white female with green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. She is approximately 5 feet tall and weighs approximately 130 pounds.
She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a long-sleeved blue shirt, and black Harley Davidson hiking boots at the time of her disappearance.
The FBI says despite extensive investigative efforts, including a neighborhood canvas and video search, along with an expansive grid search utilizing canines by the Maine Warden Service and Maine State Police, Stefanie remains missing.
Investigators say they have also conducted dozens of interviews, and followed up on potential leads in Maine, across the country, and in Canada.
The FBS says did receive a tip that Damron may have connected with someone on social media.
