Cops: Maine woman who had escort ads missing in NY
PORTLAND, Maine — Police in Maine and New York are investigating the disappearance of a 22-year-old woman who advertised as an escort on Craigslist.
Police say Megan Waterman, of Scarborough, Maine, hasn’t been in contact with her family or friends since the weekend of June 5 when she was staying at a hotel in Hauppauge (HAWP’-awg) on New York’s Long Island.
Scarborough police Detective Don Blatchford said Waterman went to New York on Memorial Day weekend with her boyfriend, 20-year-old Akeem Cruz, of Brooklyn, N.Y. Police have questioned Cruz and are now treating the disappearance as a missing-person case.
Police said Waterman’s mother told them Waterman called her 3-year-old daughter regularly when she traveled, but the calls have stopped.
