Florida Today....
Deputies responded to calls in Barefoot Bay on Nov. 13 that there were two men dressed in black walking behind area houses, who ran from responding officers. Later that day, Riggins was reported missing to the Palm Bay Police Department.
Police searching the area reported hearing "yelling" but could not determine the source that night, Goodyear said.
Ten days later, Riggins' body was found in the lake.
"When the body was found, it had injuries that were consistent with an alligator attack," Goodyear said. "We had trappers euthanize the gator and when we opened it up, there were some remains inside that were consistent with injuries found on the body."
Goodyear said that burglaries reported by snowbirds (people from up north) returning to their homes for the winter are being investigated in connection with Riggins and his unknown accomplice.

I love stories with a happy ending.
Later that day, alligator and squirrel were found in the woods laughing and comparing notes.
Very good, April.
"If the skeeters don't get him then the gators will"
Kingston Trio song about a man on the run from the law.
Squirrel is jealous of that large jaw assembly. Considering reconstructive surgery.
I hope nobody profiles all alligators as dangerous carnivores. Most are reptiles of peace.
Haha April! It's an inter-species conspiracy.
