This morning, a local teenager was found dead on the shore of South Beach after being mauled in the water by an attacker of unknown origin.
Wendy Watson, a senior at Amity High School, was last seen leaving a beach party with another teenager. According to her companion, Watson decided to go swimming at a remote section of South Beach. According to witnesses, both teenagers had been drinking heavily during the evening. Watson was the only one who entered the water.
When Watson did not return from the water, her companion notified police at around 4 a.m. Later that morning, her body was found washed up on the beach by police. Police report that her body was severely mangled.
According to Watson’s companion, she was an excellent swimmer. The weather at the time of the incident was clear, with a temperature around 72 degrees F, and the seas were calm.
Although rumors of a shark attack are circulating the town, the police are continuing the investigation of the incident without confirmation.
“We want to assure all residents and visitors on our fine island that they are in no danger,” said Police Chief Martin Brody.
When asked about allegedly confirming the evidence of a shark attack with Police Deputy Richarad Zanzibar, Brody said, “Obviously we’re very busy with this crisis, and we don’t have time to deal with rumors.”
Amity’s beaches shall remain open for swimming pending the outcome of the investigation.
