4/4/2004OahuNorth Shore, VelzylandSurfingCourtney Marcher, 22Possible Shark Attack.Marcher disappeared while surfing at Velzyland, the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, around 8:45 a.m. Her undamaged surfboard was found 3 miles (4.8 km) off Kaena Point by a fisherman three days later, 18 miles (29 km) north of her last known location and consistent with currents.[19] Unusual serrated markings on the board's ankle leash were suggestive of shark involvement,[20] but analysis by the state Shark Task Force proved inconclusive, with experts divided as to what the marks represented.[19][21] Police reported Marcher had a history of seizures and may have run into trouble in the water, although she had been taking medication to control epilepsy and had no recent history of illness.[19][21] On the day she vanished, wave faces averaged 6 feet (1.8 m), but she was described as healthy and a strong swimmer.[19][21]
