"Alligator snatches toddler in front of parents at Disney resort"

"Authorities in Florida were desperately searching Wednesday for a 2-year-old boy who was snatched by an alligator while wading in a lake at a Disney World resort hotel Tuesday night."
More than 50 officers from the Orange County Sheriff's office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission are conducting the search in the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Hotel outside Orlando, Fla., Sheriff Jerry Demings said in a news conference early Wednesday. Helicopters, two marine units, sonar equipment, a dive team and an alligator trapper are being employed in the hunt for the toddler in the darkened waters.

Florida Man gets killed by alligator while hiding from the police after burglary

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.
