Amity teenager Chrissie Watson, 17, was found dead on South
Beach this morning by Police Deputy Jay Hendricks. Her mangled body washed up onto the sand
after a vicious attack from an unknown killer.
Watson was most recently seen alive last night around 11
p.m. with fellow teenager Christopher P. Hoggenbottam III, when Watson decided
to go for a late-night swim.
According to witnesses, “both teenagers had been drinking
heavily and possibly smoking marijuana.”
Although under the influence, Watson was known for her
incredible swimming skills. She was a
member of the Amity High School Varsity swim team and a lifeguard at the Amity
Island YMCA.
Hoggenbottam alerted police this morning at 6 a.m when he finally
noticed Watson’s absence. According to chief
of Police Martin Brody, “her mangled body was found…after a brief search.”
The crime is currently under investigation. According to a police report, “Watson’s body
has been transported to the coroner’s office for autopsy. “
Because of Watson’s adept skill in swimming and reportedly
calm seas last night, the possibility of a shark attack “has not been
completely ruled out,” said Brody.
However, according to Brody, “all residents and visitors on
our fine island…are in no danger.” He also
confidently reported that “our lovely beaches will remain open for swimming
pending the outcome of the investigation.”
