Police are continuing their search for the driver of the car suspected of hitting University of Maine student Jordyn Bakley during the weekend.

Bakley, 20, of Camden, was a junior majoring in elementary education. Her body was found Saturday morning on Middle Street. Police are calling the accident a probable hit-and-run.

The state medical examiner’s office in Augusta, which performed an autopsy Sunday, said the cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma but declined to give the manner of death pending investigation.

Captain Josh Ewing of the Orono Police Department said the police are still searching for information about what happened Friday night or Saturday morning and are hoping on calls from the public.

“We’re still following up on leads,” Ewing said Wednesday.

Ewing did not say what clues the police have found, but urged anyone with information to contact the police at 866-4451.

Donations in Bakley’s memory may be made to Spruce Run, P.O. Box 653, Bangor, ME 04401 or the Knox County Humane Society, P.O. Box 1294, Rockland, ME 04841.
