GRAYLAND, Wash. (AP) - Investigators have identified the body of woman that washed ashore in Grays Harbor County, but there's still no sign of her companion or the boat they were on.
KXRO and KBKW Radio report that Teri Dascher, 47, of Kingston, was found in Grayland on Friday morning. Fifty-1-year-old John Phillip Stapp of Seattle remains missing.
Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott says the pair were last seen aboard the Connie B, a 25-foot sail boat which left from King County and had spent the last few weeks in Westport being repaired. The two were headed for the South Pacific, and Scott says that based on the amount of debris that washed ashore, investigators believe the vessel must have sustained some sort of accident.
