UPI story:MIAMI, May 14 (UPI) -- Florida wildlife officials may have killed an alligator responsible for the death of a 28-year-old jogger in Miami.
Florida Fish and Wildlife officials had set traps since the dismembered body of Yovy Suarez Jimenez was found in a canal Wednesday.
They said Saturday a 9 ½-foot-long gator was found and killed near where Jimenez' body was found.
Two human arms were found in the gator's stomach but haven't been confirmed as those belonging to the Jimenez, a college student from Davie, Fla., and an aspiring model, CNN reports.
"We strongly suspect this is the alligator," said state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman Dani Moschella. Test results are due back Monday.
Jimenez went missing Tuesday night while she was jogging alongside the canal.
Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper said he thinks the gator attacked Jimenez and dragged her into the canal but killed her before she drowned.
She was the 18th human victim of Florida alligators since 1948.
From Fox News TV: Pinellas County officials now hunting another gator after woman's body was found dismembered in a canal there.
I am always very careful whenever I'm around lakes and canals in Florida. This was a dreadful, horrible attack...that poor woman.

How do they KNOW it was THAT Gator?
Did it CONFESS!?
Yep, like I said, that's why I don't jog anymore.
Even in Michigan. The wolverines are as nasty as alligators.
It fit the profile.
They found her arms in the gator's stomach.
i agree

How is it possible to DROWN after being killed by the 'gator?
Well, the gator had very good taste.

I think the point was that most gator victims die of drowning, not from injuries sustained from the alligator.
This gator evidently killed on land her before it drug her into the water...which is very unusual. Most gators attack from the water and pull their victim back into the water without ever leaving the water.
Brilliant journalism.
....good thing gators don't hang around New Jersey. There would be more mobster gone missing and a lot of fat gators.

The confession won't be admissable in court, because nobody read the 'gator its Maranda Rights.
Time for a "alligator purse" comeback.
