Police have discovered two bodies in the waters off the Rockaways, not far from where two teenage swimmers disappeared under the waves just over a week ago.
Cops found one body off Beach 114th St. and the Ocean Promenade at about 9 p.m. Saturday, and a second about two miles away off Jacob Riis Park at 10:45 a.m. Sunday, police said.

Elyjha Chandler was swimming with friends off Jacob Riis Park Friday evening when he and a 17-year-old pal disappeared under the waves.
The grim discoveries came eight days after Christian Perkins, 17, vanished in the waters off Jacob Riis Park alongside 16-year-old Elyjha Chandler on June 21.
On Sunday, Elyjha’s father and other family gathered along Jacob Riis Beach, about two miles away, as police investigated the scene.
