PORT ORCHARD (AP) — Kitsap County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating a body of an apparent teenage female that washed up on a beach in South Kitsap.
Deputies and emergency crews from South Kitsap Fire and Rescue received a call at about 3:11 p.m. from a nature photographer who had stopped on the side of the road to look at birds.
Sheriff’s units arrived on-scene at 3:23 p.m. and confirmed the initial report.
Sheriff’s detectives believe the human remains are likely those of a 17-year-old Bremerton girl, Hevi Muhaz Tahir, reported missing Jan. 29, in Silverdale.
An extensive search for Hevi has been under way in Dyes Inlet since then.
