Body Found in Chesapeake Bay
Authorities are awaiting identification of a body found floating in the Chesapeake Bay a mile north of the Bay Bridge, Maryland Natural Resources Police said yesterday.
The body, which was recovered about 11:25 a.m. Sunday, will undergo an autopsy by the state medical examiner, said Sgt. Ken Turner, a spokesman for the Natural Resources Police.
"As far as identification and sex of the body, none of that is being released," he said.
The U.S. Coast Guard was radioed Sunday morning by a boater who had discovered the body, Turner said. Police did not disclose any reports of missing boaters Sunday.
Cpl. Jonathan Green, a Maryland Transportation Authority spokesman, said that an abandoned vehicle was found on the bridge. Green would not speculate on whether the driver might have jumped from the bridge.

ST. MARY'S CRIME
Racist Graffiti Found on School
Police in St. Mary's County are looking into who spray-painted racist graffiti on the exterior walls of Leonardtown Elementary School.
Maryland State Police found about a dozen "swastika-type emblems" and racial slurs yesterday against African Americans and Mexicans on the side of the school, which is under construction, said Lt. Louis F. Burris, commander of the county sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Investigations. The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, he said.
