A teenager has been charged in the suspicious death of a Maine paddleboarder that stoked fears of a serial killer looming throughout the New England region.

Police in Maine said Thursday they have arrested a 17-year-old state resident in connection with the killing of a paddleboarder who went missing on a rural pond.

The medical examiner later revealed her cause of death to be strangulation and head trauma, citing the “unusual circumstances” around her demise.
