The mangled body of a local high school student was found washed up on the beach early this morning.
Wendy W. Watson had been at a beach party the night before, and was last seen at 11:00 pm., according to the police press release. The unidentified male who had been with Watson at the beach last night told the police that she went missing after going swimming in a remote part of the beach.
Other witnesses from the beach party say that both Watson and the male with her had been drinking during the party.
Police say that the identity of the attacker is unknown, and Watson's body is at the coroner's office awaiting an autopsy. The investigation is ongoing, and police say that they have not been able to rule out a shark attack and no charges have been filed.
