Woman snorkeling in Hawaii likely eaten by 'aggressive' shark with 'something red' around gills: officials
Fox News
Investigators say they have determined what happened to a woman who went missing off the south shore of Maui while snorkeling with her husband earlier this month.
He told officers the shark swam off while he continued looking for his wife by popping his head out of the water and scanning the surface. He did spot something in the distance and then the shark came back, and he could see something red around the shark’s gills. At that time, he said people on the beach began yelling at him to get out of the water because a shark was feeding in the area.
The husband's statement was corroborated my an eyewitness on the beach, an update from the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) said. The witness is the one who called 911 to report the incident.
