INCIDENTS

90-23 - Cape Cod (Massachusetts) - Body Discovered

On February 2nd, a park visitor discovered a boot containing the
remains of a human foot below the high tide line on the beach in
Hatches Harbor. A search of park beaches from Race Point to Long
Point was conducted but no further sign of the victim was found.
Current speculation is that the remains were those of a Wellfleet
fisherman who drowned in Cape Cod Bay last spring. Park rangers
and local and Federal authorities are investigating.

A change in the weather patterns beginning in mid-January

drought persisting in the upper Midwest, Great Basin,
southern California, southeast Texas, and south Florida.
