A teenage girl was found dead this morning on the shores of South Beach on Amity Island, MA. Police Deputy Jay Hendricks discovered her mangled body while responding to a report of a missing person.
Chrissie Watson, 17, of 23 Sharkstooth St. was last seen at a beach party with friends around 11p.m. Witnesses claim to have seen Watson leave the party with another teen, Christopher P. Hoggenbottam III after drinking alcohol and possibly smoking marijuana.
Hoggenbottam, a sophmore at Trinity College and former resident of the island, had no recollection of the night's events after following Watson to the ocean. At around 6a.m. Hoggenbottam notified police, which resulted in the recovery of Watson's body.
Watson was a senior at Amity High School, a member of the varsity swim team and a lifeguard at the local YMCA pool. Police are continuing their investigation and have not ruled out a possible shark attack. Visitors and residents are advised to stay out of the ocean, as a precaution.
