MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - The Grays Harbor County sheriff's office is asking beachcombers on the southwest Washington coast to look for debris that may have come from a missing boat.

Undersheriff Rick Scott says the 25-foot Coronado sailboat "Connie B" and its owner, John Philip Stapp of Seattle, have been missing since the middle of the month.

On Friday, the body of a passenger, 47-year-old Teri Dascher of Kingston, washed ashore near Grayland.

KXRO reports debris on the beach led investigators to think the vessel may have had a serious accident.
