shark attack day 1

The body of a local teen was found washed up on South Beach this morning after a night of drinking with an unidentified group of other teens.
Wendy W. Watson, 17, of 23 Sharktooth St. ,Amity was reported missing around 4 a.m. by an unidentified male who was at the party with Watson.
Watson was last seen leaving the party around 11 p.m. with a male companion. Watson, an experienced swimmer, entered the water near the South Beach Shoal bell buoy. Last night the sea was calm with winds coming out of the south at about 3 knots.
Police Deputy Richard Zanzibar found Watson’s body early this morning washed up on the beach. “She had been severely mauled by an attacker of unknown origin,” said Police chief Martin Brody in a press release issued earlier today. There have been no charges filed and police are continuing their investigation.
It has been rumored that Watson may have been attacked by a shark, though nothing of that nature has been reported by a medical examiner.
“Though a shark attack has not been ruled completely out, we want to assure all residents and visitors on our fine island that they are in no danger,” commented Chief Brody.
