PARIS – Maine game wardens continued their investigation Sunday into a hunting-related fatality that occurred last week, but refused to release any information on their findings.

“There are no new details to release at this time,” Maine Warden Service spokesman Mark Latti said Sunday night. “We are continuing to work at the scene, process evidence and conduct interviews.”

Game wardens and state police are working to discover the circumstances surrounding the death of 18-year-old Megan Ripley. She was shot in the chest Thursday afternoon by a deer hunter in the woods behind her Christian Ridge Road home.

No charges had been filed against the shooter as of Sunday night. Latti refused to release the man’s name, saying that would come when, and if, charges are filed.

“We will meet with the attorney general when we are finished our investigation and then charges may come forth,” Latti explained. “After we present our evidence, it’s ultimately up to the attorney general to press charges.”

Latti could not say when he expected the investigation to finish.

“There really is not a timeline in this sort of thing,” he said.

A friend of the Ripley family has set up a Web site for people to share comments on the life of Megan, http://meganripley.troytabernacle.com.
