DAVIE, Fla. — Police have released the 911 recording of a man saying he believed “an alligator got this lady” who had been walking her dogs at a Florida park.
The man said he’d watched the woman take her dogs into Silver Lakes Rotary Park, and that he later spotted two of the dogs near her car, while the third was still down by the water.
The caller described the woman and said “there’s a big alligator hanging out right there and she’s nowhere to be found.”
Davie police released the June 8 recording on Thursday.
Trappers eventually killed the 12-foot alligator and recovered the body of 47-year-old Shizuka Matsuki.
