I had a bad experience with this quest. When I went to the shore to discover the dead body, I still needed to kill a few worgen so I ventured away from the beach and killed a few of them, I then turned in that quest and the NPC's despawned and I was left without knowing where to go.

If you are in the same situation, go back to the shore where the dead body was and you can continue this chain.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
