The Ocracoke Observer is asking a favor for island friend Kelley Shinn, who was at the beach Wednesday, Sept. 4 and lost a leg in the ocean.

“Yes. We know it sounds funny, but this is not a joke. She has two prosthetic legs,” the Observer said in a Facebook post.

Shinn said the ocean current was going southwest toward South Point and asks if anyone is on the beach on Thursday morning and beyond, if you find a prosthetic leg, please bring it to the Ocracoke Volunteer Fire Department.
