A body found Tuesday is believed to be a Virginia teen who has been missing since a January boating accident in Chincoteague Bay that left one other teen dead and two injured, officials said.
Virginia Marine Police said the body believed to be the missing 17-year-old was recovered around 1 p.m. from the water off Chincoteague, news outlets reported. The medical examiner has not yet positively identified the body.
The teen has been missing since Jan. 22, when a 16-foot Jon boat capsized, sending all four teens aboard into the water.
