Overview
- The Maine Attorney General’s Office filed a motion on July 21 to bind over 17-year-old Deven Young for adult prosecution in the death of 48-year-old Sunshine “Sunny” Stewart.
- Young’s July 12 Facebook comment of “doing well,” posted days after Stewart’s body was found, has become a focus for investigators exploring his state of mind.
- Campground owner Katherine Lunt says Young volunteered to lead search teams on Crawford Pond but directed them away from the site where Stewart’s remains were later discovered.
- Court records related to the adult trial motion have been impounded, and authorities have not released new details on motive as the investigation continues.
- Young remains at the Long Creek Youth Development Center and has pleaded not guilty ahead of a status conference in juvenile court next month.
