Dead or alive. Alive would be good so he can provide answers to questions. Dead would be fine, since he wouldn't be a burden to the taxpayers of Florida.

They tend to stash parts of carcasses in the muck under water. If he killed that woman and a gator ripped him up, sounds like karma got him anyway. I heard a rumor about the condition of Gabby's remains, I won't repeat it but it would be why her body was classified as remains.

Once again, the word remains are being used for what's-his-name which sounds like the body was not intact when found.

According to the rumor, that wasn't all. Seems that something else more disgusting happened right after. That wildlife may have visited her remains only complicates the final discussion and made it hard to determine cause and time of death.

They should release that in less than a week but it will probably take a couple of weeks until they do the tissue analysis and toxicology and actually release anything they might even know right now.
We watch WFLA on occasion and I sometimes question their local news, especially early in the morning. They seem to have a problem with omission and it can change a whole meaning of a story. I live over an hour away from that area.
