Missing Twink found dead in Maine

The body of a 14-year-old boy who had been missing for nearly a week was found Tuesday afternoon in Maine.

The Freeport Police Department confirmed the death of Theo Ferrara in a Facebook post.

"At approximately 11:15, a Marine Patrol aircraft spotted a body near Bunganuc Point in the bay. The body was recovered and taken to the Maine Medical Examiner's Office, where it was identified as Ferrara."

The post continued: "We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Ferrara family and ask that you give them privacy during this difficult time. We thank all agencies that assisted Freeport PD during this investigation, including The Maine Warden Service, Maine Forestry Service, Brunswick PD, Department of Marine Resources, Maine Association of Search and Rescue, Maine State Police, and FBI. We also thank LL Bean, Freeport Friends and the Freeport community for their assistance during the search."

According to the police department, Ferrara disappeared last Thursday afternoon. He was last seen walking on Flying Point Road at approximately 4:30 p.m. in a northeast direction from his home in Freeport to Brunswick.

Local agencies, including the Freeport and Brunswick police departments and the Maine Warden Service, combined efforts over the weekend to look for the missing teen. About 30 search and rescue volunteers, eight K-9s and the Maine Marine Patrol also joined the search, according to Boston.com.

The police department said the boy had not previously exhibited any behavior that would point to him being a runaway.

On Tuesday, Regional School Unit 5 Superintendent ​​​​​​​Jean Skorapa confirmed the news of Ferrara's death on Facebook. He was a freshman at Freeport High School.

"It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to inform you that this afternoon, Theo Ferrara was found deceased," Skorapa said, according to the post. "Our sincere condolences to Theo's family and friends. During this time as the school community processes this news and copes with grief, the school district will offer counseling and bereavement support to all students and staff."

An investigation into Ferrara's death is being conducted by the Freeport Police Department, the agency said.

[quote] Who was Theo Ferrera, Freeport High School teen found dead after going missing on September 23?

Regional School Unit 5 officials have released a statement saying that Theo Ferrera, a 14-year-old boy who had been attending Freeport High School, has been found dead after going missing on Thursday, September 23.

Jean Skorapa, RSU 5 Superintendent, wrote a letter to the community in which he said, “It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to inform you that this afternoon, Theo Ferrara was found deceased. Our sincere condolences to Theo’s family and friends. During this time as the school community processes this news and copes with grief, the school district will offer counseling and bereavement support to all students and staff."

Who was Theo Ferrera?

Theo Ferrara was 14 when he went missing last Thursday. A student at Freeport High School, Ferrara was last seen on September 23 at 4:30 PM. He was then carrying with him a royal blue backpack, and wearing neon shorts and a white windbreaker, underneath which he had on a t-shirt.

Ferrara was 5 feet 7 inches in height and weighed 125 pounds, the police have said. His hair and eyes were brown in colour. His mother's name is Mia Kulla Ferrara. She is currently a self-employed consultant and also works at Best Buy. She has been living in Freeport along with her family since 2014. Theo also has a cousin called Francesca Ferrara who shared Mia Kulla's post on Facebook where the latter put out an appeal for any information regarding her son.

When the police talked to his friends at school, they said that on Thursday Theo Ferrara was with them at a school pep rally. Although he had to return to school to submit an art project, the teenager was not heard from since Thursday afternoon.

Theo's body was retrieved from the ocean in the area where an extensive search was being carried out. His mother had thanked on Facebook everyone who had contributed to the search.

You're an idiot, R33.

You think he just "accidentally" fell into the ocean?

This was foul play.

He left school at 4:30, then headed home. Never be seen again.

It wasn't an accident.

The article said he was wearing sandals when he was last seen. I am guessing he went to a large rock on the water to draw (the mentioned art project) and his footwear caused him to slip. He either fell in the water and drowned, or hit his head on the rock and drowned. Either way it's very sad.

R45, do you ever, ever get tired of seeing Trump everywhere? Are you so out of touch that you missed that Trump and MAGA are over, to be replaced by whatever the hell DeSantis is cooking up? Are you in denial about Trump’s irrelevancy because accepting that would mean such a large portion of your dreary “intellectual life” would need to be replaced, perhaps necessitating a dreaded moment of self-reflection? What’s really going on over there? Are you happy? Is this working?

r46 Most of the social media hits on this story are from true crime networks -- which has it's plus and minuses, as often teen boys are viewed at a lower priority than teen girls. And the kid already had a few strikes against him that would impede on search effforts; artistic, geeky. -- where the magat dream is still alive, they scream of stranger danger, satanic panic and the gay agenda. The more controversial one on fb privatized their group after being called out on this. I

The section of the road that this kid was last seen on does not lie directly on the coast, but ranges from 500 to 1000 feet inland (per Google Earth) with mostly woods, small meadows and homes nestled therein between the road and the water.

This kid would’ve had to have made a deliberate and considerable effort to get to the water, and, he would’ve had to cut through a large stretch of woods and someone’s yard to get there. This area has a somewhat rocky shoreline, but it doesn’t appear to be treacherous at all, and it’s not open ocean.

As of now, and given the scenario, it’s logical to question and doubt that Theo Ferrara met an untimely death by accidental drowning. I don’t see how foul play wouldn’t be a top consideration at this point.

Don't wear sandals if you're going to climb on rocks by the sea, even if you're just going there to sketch something for art class.

by Anonymousreply 51September 29, 2022 9:04 PM

R50 Yes, agree, foul play or suicide seems most likely.

It's not impossible that an accident happened, but unless Theo and his family just moved there, he would have been familiar enough with elements and conditions to know where to go/not to go.
