POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ – Police discovered a body near the Manasquan inlet, believed to be a boater who went missing after their 31-foot-long boat capsized last week.

Authorities discovered a body in Point Pleasant Beach on Saturday afternoon, as the search for a missing 21-year-old boater continued.

Officials have yet to confirm whether the body is that of Derek Narby, a Brick resident missing since his boat capsized in the Manasquan Inlet on September 14.
