***LIVE*** What Really Happened to Tela Hart?

from Locating the Lost · host Travis hartford

***We apologize for some issues with guest audio***Tela Amy Hart was reported missing on October 9, 2005, shortly after she left a friend's home on Lenfest Street in Presque Isle, Maine. Witnesses indicated that she headed toward the nearby Presque Isle Stream, and authorities speculated that she may have accidentally fallen into the water and drowned. The night of her disappearance was marked by rain, leaving the grass along the riverbank slick and treacherous. Officer Kevin Schumacher, accompanied by K-9 Hunter, was dispatched to search for her. The dog repeatedly led the officer to the water's edge, reinforcing the theory that Hart had slipped into the stream, prompting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.Despite extensive searches over the following months, no trace of Tela was found until May 18, 2007, when two fiddleheaders discovered her remains along the banks of the Aroostook River in Presque Isle. The discovery brought a somber conclusion to a long and painful search for her family. While the official ruling determined her death to be an accidental drowning, her loved ones have expressed deep skepticism about this conclusion. They believe that the evidence surrounding her disappearance and the subsequent discovery of her body suggests the possibility of foul play, raising questions about the thoroughness of the initial investigation.Tonight, we are joined by Tela's family, who are eager to share her story and articulate their concerns regarding the investigation into her death. They feel that critical details may have been overlooked and that a fresh examination of the case could uncover new insights. Their determination to seek justice for Tela reflects not only their love for her but also their hope that by reopening the investigation, they might finally uncover the truth behind her tragic end.#missing #unsolved #truecrime #maine #aroostookcounty #someoneknowssomething #locatingthelost
