State police dogs found the body on Friday afternoon in less than 10 feet of water. Members of the department’s dive team aided in the recovery of the body.
The State Medical Examiner’s Office in Augusta is expected to conduct an autopsy Saturday to determine how Parent died.
Parent had attended Lewiston High School and worked at a Dunkin’ Donuts. His parents live in the Lewiston-Auburn area.
McNaughton, who has no prior criminal convictions, is being held at the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn without bail. It’s unclear if he is being represented by a lawyer. He will make his first court appearance on Tuesday.
