10/7/2015: In case of luck and great observation by local residents in Rangeley, a 15-year old girl from Grand Valley, Penn. who had been reported missing since Sept. 29th and was reported to be in the company of a Kyle Bedow, 18, also of Grand Valley, was located in Rangeley by Deputy Sandy Burke.

Events unfolded on Wednesday when Charles Brad Stokes, an insurance agent in Oquossoc, had been talking with his wife who works at local restaurant in Oquossoc. During their discussion both of them had contact over the past 24 hours with the young couple in the area.

It appeared that the stories that the couple told to both parties on separate occasions did not match, however, their descriptions did. Having a name available, they searched the web and came across two news articles in Pennsylvania that described how a 15-year old girl named Reagan Chase of Grand Valley had been reported missing in the company of Kyle Bedow, 18, also of Grand Valley Pennsylvania since September 29th. Pennsylvania State Police were investigating and had two warrants out for the arrest of Bedow. With this information Stokes called Franklin County Dispatch to inform of what he and his wife had discovered.

Dispatchers (Blaine Rackliffe and Kyle Ellis) immediately ran checks on Bedow to confirm that the warrants did exist. The dispatchers were informed that Bedow had his Mercury Marquis parked at Koob’s Garage in Oquossoc and were currently driving around in a rental unit (Ford Taurus). Once dispatchers had determined what type of vehicle the couple was, in they placed a police bulletin out.

Deputy Burke was on Main Street in Rangeley when the call was placed and immediately found the car. Burke conducted a traffic stop, placed Bedow under arrest and took Chase into protective custody.

Sheriff Nichols credits great communication and caring between Mr. and Mrs. Stokes of Oquossoc, County Communication personnel and Deputy Burke for ending this nine-day ordeal. The case is still under investigation by Lt. David St. Laurent of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. Additional charges against Bedow may be pending in Maine from information obtained by Lt. St. Laurent. Because the crime involves interstate travel the Maine State Police have been called in to assist with the investigation.

10/7/2015: Deputy Scovil responded to a car vs. moose accident on Route 16 in Lang Twp. The moose died at the scene, and reportable damage was done to the vehicle.

10/7/2015: Deputy Zecher removed a dead deer on Route 4 in Strong which had recently been hit by a vehicle but the driver of the vehicle did not stop.

The motorcycle (2012 Kawasaki) was traveling south bound being driven by Sandi McAlpine (45) of Jay when her passenger Petrah Jacques (38) of Livermore Falls fell off the rear of the bike hitting the roadway causing her to briefly lose consciousness.

First responders from Eustis and Northstar also responded to the scene. The victim was transported to FMH for evaluation.
