The FBI is now looking into the disappearance of a 15-year-old Buxton girl who has been missing since Nov. 8.

Buxton Officer Mike Grovo, lead investigator in the case, said the FBI joined the investigation Wednesday to find Coreen F. Wiese.

Grovo said he met with FBI agents in Buxton this morning (Nov. 15). Grovo said the FBI has resources that are not available to local police departments. “My main goal is to find this young lady,” said Grovo.

Gail Marcinkiewicz, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Boston, said Wednesday the office is aware of the case of the missing Buxton girl. “Its not unusual for the FBI to offer assistance to local police on any matter,” Marcinkiewicz said, referring further questions to Buxton police.

The Maine Warden Service said Monday its investigators had found suicide notes Friday that they attributed to Wiese. Grovo said Wednesday while suicide is a possibility, “we’re not putting our bets on that.”

Wiese is the daughter of Wesley and Cindy Wiese of Henry Hill Road. The girl’s parents declined comment in a call to their home Tuesday.

Grovo said there’s nothing to lead police to believe that foul play is involved. But Grovo has called the girl’s disappearance “out of the ordinary.”

A sophomore at Bonny Eagle High School, Weise went to school on Nov. 8, but then disappeared. Investigators said a witness believed she saw the girl about 11:30 a.m. near the Route 25 bridge at the Limington Rapids on the Saco River.

Mark Latti, a spokesman for the Maine Warden Service, said Tuesday that investigators found two suicide notes Friday.

Latti said the notes were found in two places, one under the bridge on Route 25 at the Limington Rapids and another at the girl’s home in Buxton.

While the content of the note left at the girl’s home has not been released, the message under the bridge is a simple one. It has the date “11/8/06” over the letters “RIP CW.” Latti confirmed that Warden Service investigators believe Wiese left the message scratched onto a beam under the bridge.

Latti said wardens also found personal effects, including an MP-3 player and a cell phone, near the bridge.

Wardens are focusing their search at the rapids near the bridge and down the Saco River. Latti said wardens are walking and scanning the riverbanks.

The Limington rapids, about 4.5 miles from Bonny Eagle High School, is a favorite hangout for local teenagers. There are ledges along the river and the rest area has picnic tables. “She loved the water, the falls,” Grovo said Sunday.

Although police have said there was no indication that Wiese was abducted, officials expressed concern about the girl’s health because Wiese, who has epilepsy, is without her medication. “We’re concerned about her health,” Grovo said. “She does have seizures.”

Wiese is 5-foot-3-inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. She has long brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, white sneakers, pink T-shirt and a blue or gray coat.

Grovo said anyone with information on Wiese should call Buxton police at 929-6612.
