Mangled Body of Teenager Found on Amity Beach

Early this morning, police officials found the mangled body of a teenager washed up on an Amity Beach.
Wendy W. Watson, 16, of Amity, had been last seen alive yesterday at about 11 p.m. as she was leaving a beach party with a male friend, apparently to go skinny-dipping.
Watson was reported missing to the police by her companion when she did not return from the water. Witnesses at the party said that both teenagers had been drinking; but that the weather was clear and seas were calm.
The cause of Watson’s death is still unknown, and her body has been transported to the coroner for an autopsy. No charges have been filed in the case, although police are still investigating.
In a report, Amity Police Chief Martin Brody wrote that although a shark attack had not been ruled out, beaches would remain open and officials felt that beach-goers were not in danger.
