Robber Eaten By 'Alligator' Photographs – Hoax-Slayer

Outline:
Email claims that attached photographs depict body parts retrieved from the stomach of an alligator that killed a fleeing robber in Florida.





Brief Analysis:
The incident described in the message did take place in November 2007, but the photographs are totally unrelated to this incident. The animal depicted in the photographs is a crocodile, not an alligator as claimed in the message.

Update:
In early 2011, a new version of the message that contained the same set of images claimed the photographs were actually taken in Australia and that the body parts were those of a fisherman who strayed too close to the bank. There is no credible evidence to support this claim.

Example:
Subject: Fw: Hey,want to go to luch today?

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

Subject: FLEEING ROBBER EATEN BY ALLIGATOR

Hindsight being what it is, an unidentified thief (allegedly) burglarizing cars behind the Miccosukee Indian Reservation in Dade County, Florida might have picked a different hunting ground had he known that he’d become the hunted. And we mean that in the most literal sense. You see, witnesses called the cops on the burglar while he was breaking into cars, and the boys in blue arrived on the scene and gave chase. Hoping to elude the fuzz, the suspect dove into a pond behind the resort and casino where he was greeted by a 9-foot alligator unfamiliar with the concept of Miranda rights. Unfortunately for the suspected burglar, the gator was of the aggressive and unpleasant variety, and thus, a law-breaking career came to a grisly and unexpected end.. He’d have been a lot better off spending the night in the clink instead of heading into the drink. Unfortunately for the gator vigilante, Florida fish & wildlife reps saw to it that he followed his erstwhile prey into the afterlife.

This should give you something to think about .
