They got him.
He was a 9-foot-6 beast that took four days to trap and six people to haul in Saturday from the Sunrise canal where he killed a 28-year-old Davie student. And inside his stomach, they found the grisly proof they had the right alligator.
"Hopefully this will provide some peace to the young woman's family," said Dani Moschella, spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "And hopefully this means we have removed a dangerous animal."
Relatives of the victim, Yovy Suarez Jimenez, could not be reached for comment. Family members planned to attend private services for her Saturday.
For Kevin Garvey, trapper and owner of Nuisance Wildlife Control, finding the gator was personal.
He patrols that very canal, between Markham County Park and State Road 84, often and knew most of the gators that frequent it. When Jimenez's body was found Wednesday by construction workers, he knew he would have to find this new gator before it could kill again.
(they found both her arms inside his stomach) the video on this bad boy was amazing on the news, it showed them wrangling him out of the canal...he was well fed thats for sure...4 days on the dot!
