The Disappearance of Stefanie Damron (Maine)

The Disappearance of Stefanie Damron (Maine)

Stefanie Damron’s parents say that their 13-year-old daughter walked out the door and into the woods one September afternoon in 2024, and she hasn’t been seen or heard from since. They have their own suspicions about what happened to her, but so far, a multi-agency effort hasn’t been able to prove what happened to Stefanie more than a year later.

Active missing persons cases are some of the most challenging cases to cover. At the same time, active missing persons cases, especially when a child is missing under suspicious or concerning circumstances, are the cases that need the most urgent attention. Uncovering information while leads are still warm is critical.

That’s why I’m releasing two episodes today. These two missing persons cases out of Maine need a signal boost in a big way. So please, listen, share, and get their names and faces out there. Investigators need more information to bring them home.

  • Stefanie was last seen wearing blue jeans, a long-sleeved blue shirt, and black Harley Davidson hiking boots. She is a white female, 13 years old at the time she was reported missing, with brown shoulder-length hair, green eyes, 5 feet tall, and 130 pounds.
  • If you have information about the disappearance of Stefanie Damron, please contact the Maine State Police Houlton Barracks at (207) 532-5400 or call the FBI’s toll-free tipline at 1 (800)-CALL-FBI. You can also submit a tip via the FBI form.
  • The FBI is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the safe return of Stefanie Damron and/or information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone involved in her disappearance.
