Authorities discovered the remains of a missing woman in the jaws of an alligator this week in Houston, prompting an investigation into her cause of death by the city's Homicide Division Sergeants.
“Patrol officers located the remains of a woman in the jaws of an alligator in the Horsepen Bayou, just west of El Dorado Boulevard, while searching the area for a woman reported missing” on Tuesday, Houston police said in a Wednesday release.
Police did not name the woman, who they believe to be in her 60s, but they told KHOU-TV that she went for a walk around 7:30 p.m. Monday and never returned. Her husband reported her missing Tuesday morning.
Houston police fatally shot the alligator “to prevent it from doing more damage to the remains,” after which a dive team retrieved the remains and the alligator from Horsepen Bayou, according to the Wednesday release.
“At this time, the investigation is pending cause and manner of death, to be determined by an autopsy,” police said.

Maybe her husband shot her, threw her in the pond and the gator saw free food.
You never know how she died, she was just seen being eaten by a gator.

Shooting the alligator didn’t help. It was just being what it was. Didn’t exactly climb a tree to attack her. Maybe she was dead when she fell or was tossed into the water.

I don’t know. Sounds suspicious to me. She went for a walk at 7:30 pm, but hubby did not report her missing until the next morning?

[Because there is a mosque nearby, it could be a Muslim alligator in which case they’re called an Allah Gator.]
Not to be confused with an Alley Gator.

I don't see why there is any reason for concern about killing an alligator.
If they are around where people live, they should be dead.

There may be a regulation requiring certain amount of time passed before being able to declare missing.

Perhaps. But how would that stop him from calling the police that night?
