Read our privacy policy The FBI said Monday it is offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the return of a northern Maine teenager whose disappearance earlier in the fall has attracted international attention. The FBI is collaborating with Maine State Police and is hopeful the reward will incentivize anyone with information regarding Stefanie's disappearance, said Jodi Cohen, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston division. “Stefanie’s family desperately wants to know where she is, and we are fully committed to helping our law enforcement partners exhaust every investigative resource to find her and bring her home," Cohen said. Stefanie did not have electronic devices with her when she was last seen, and was known to sometimes leave home for the woods behind her house, though not for this long, Maine State Police Major Scott Gosselin said Monday.
