AMITY, MA – The body of 16-year-old Wendy W. Watson, who had gone missing, was discovered on South Beach on July 1.
Watson was last seen alive leaving a beach party around 11 p.m. with an unidentified male. Sources indicate that both Watson and her male companion had been drinking that evening.
The police were notified by the male when Watson, who had gone skinny-dipping in a remote part of the beach, did not return from the water.
After a brief search, a deputy discovered her body this morning, and there were signs of some sort of brutal attack.
Chief of Police Martin P. Brody has not ruled out a shark attack. “Though a shark attack has not been completely ruled out, we want to assure all residents and visitors on our fine island that they are in no danger,” Brody said.
Her body has been transported to the coroner’s office for an autopsy. No charges have been field in the case, and the investigation is ongoing. Beaches will remain open.
