A few weeks ago I saw a story on Al.com, about a 500 pound alligator that had been trapped and killed. Human remains were found inside. This horror story stuck with me, so I thought I would see if anybody else saw it and had any thoughts.
I first looked for what might be an appropriate thread to put this in, but didn't see one. My thought was this could serve as a catchall thread for other bizarre headlines, and might have the potential to spur some conversations with a little different flavor.
During the recent storm named Ida, the waters rose and alligators became a safety hazard for the general public. This unfortunate widow was able to rescue her 71 year old husband from an alligator trying to drag him under. She got her husband up on the front porch, and went for help. When she got back he was gone.
Evidently the beast went back after him on the porch and took him back to the water to eat.
So this massive alligator is trapped in the area about a month later and they find human remains inside. I guess the remains are identified with DNA and then turned over to the family for burial.

This outdoes any Edger Allen Poe story or any Alfred Hitchcock movie.
