4 weeks into the disappearance of Shaker teacher Meghan Marohn, her brother talked about a school situation that was affecting her before she vanished.

“I do know that what happened at school caused her a lot of heartache. The school gave her paid leave until the end of the school year." Peter Naple, Brother of Meghan Marohn spoke to a Mass news outlet

 

It's been over 4 weeks now since the disappearance of Delmar native, and Shaker High School English teacher Meghan Marohn went missing in the Berkshires.

Her brother Peter Naple has been the point person throughout, keeping her name in the news by posting the latest information on the search, as well as by responding to most people's comments, questions, and queries.

A few days after her March 27th disappearance, he created the website FindMeghanMarohn.com, but lately, the information sharing has been few and far between.

But on Monday, speaking exclusively to Western Mass News, Naple spoke out on the frustrating search for his sister, while also explaining a little bit about her headspace before she made her way out to the Berkshires for a little peace and tranquility - something he hadn't done until now.

It's been documented that Meghan, an English teacher at Shaker High School in Latham, was dealing with some issues at school before she checked into the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge.

“I don’t know the full story,” he told Western Mass News. “I do know that what happened at school caused her a lot of heartache. The school gave her paid leave until the end of the school year."

Western Mass News reached out to Shaker High officials who responded with the following message:

“We continue to keep Ms. Marohn and her family in our hearts and minds. She is a valued and loved member of our school community. The district continues to provide counselors, social workers, and psychologists to assist any student in need.”

Naple, the last known person to have contact with the missing North Colonie teacher, recently created a GoFundMe, hoping to apply the funds to the continuing search effort for Meghan, including hiring a private investigator.
