Wendy W. Watson, 17, of 23 Sharkstooth St., Amnity, and a senior at Amnity High School, was found mangled after her companion, a teenager from Hartford who's identity is being withheld, reported her missing at 4 a.m.
Watson, who was described as an excellent swimmer, was swimming near the South Beach Shoal Buoy but her companion was unable to give anymore information.
According to witnesses, both teenagers had been drinking heavily before they went swimming.
The Amnity Police have speculated that the cause of death could have been a shark attack but police cheif Martin Brody said he isn't ready to give any surefire answers. "We're very busy with this and don't have time for rumors."
Brody, who is working his first Amnity summer, isn't ready to take drastic measures to prevent another shark attack; is more worried with the ongoing investigation. "Our lovely beaches will remain open for swimming pending the outcome of the investigation."
The body, was found thoroughly mangled on the beach the morning after the attack.
No charges have been made yet.
