1 Month Missing: Family Raises Funds To Find Former Chatham Teacher

LEE, MA — The search for a former Chatham teacher who went missing nearly a month ago has yielded no answers, according to Meghan Marohn's family. Loved ones set up a GoFundMe to aid efforts to find Marohn, including hiring a private investigator.

Marohn, an English teacher, taught at Chatham High School for more than 10 years, up until 2017. She earned teacher of the year from the school several times and served as a club advisor.

"Meghan is a devoted and passionate high school English teacher, poet, artist, and concerned environmentalist who displays deep passion in all her endeavors," brother Peter Naple said in the GoFundMe. "She is charismatic, witty, and a genuinely loving and beautiful person whom I miss dearly and need to know what happened to her."

Marohn moved to New York but was last seen March 27 in Massachusetts. Her black 2017 Subaru Impreza was found, unlocked, at Longcope Park in south Lee. An extensive police search involving helicopters, drones, K9s and ground units ensued. But the efforts of law enforcement, loved ones and volunteers have yielded no results.

Several former students spoke highly of Marohn in a Chatham High School video from 2016.

"She's just so passionate about everything that she does, whether it's teaching, music, everything," said Emilie Hibbard, then a Chatham High School student.

Some of Marohn's former colleagues in Chatham stayed in touch with her, including Shannon Faulker, an English teacher at the high school.

"Her love of poetry and literature have moved and inspired countless students, at CHS and beyond," Falkner told Patch via email. "But Meghan's impact on her students extends far beyond the academic curricula she teaches. During her time here in Chatham, her classroom was always open before school, during lunch, and after school as a warm and welcoming space for all students to gather, to write, and to be in community."
