The death of a teenager in the Kennebec County town of Mt. Vernon has been ruled a homicide.
The girl’s mother says she returned home Monday, and found her 14-year-old daughter’s body.
Shannon Moss with the Maine Department of Public Safety said the teen was identified as Brooke McLaughlin, a 7th grade student from Maranacook Community Middle School.
Police also say the mother’s car was stolen, but it was recovered in Wayne, which is about 25 minutes south of Mt. Vernon.
The investigation into the death of the teen is ongoing. Moss said Thursday arrests had been made yet.
