Two days before alligator killed woman, her community was urged to be on guard

It’s unclear whether the 47-year-old woman, whose body was recovered Friday night, ever got the email alert from the Isla del Sol Homeowners Association in Plantation that urged residents to “exercise caution with our families and pets, mindful that alligators, snakes, and other wildlife may be in the area.”

The notice said the 6-foot gator, which was spotted by someone’s front door, was trapped, but to still be careful.

Three trappers had been hired in the past 18 to 24 months to try to capture the gator, Davie’s assistant parks director said. He hadn’t heard of any sabotaged traps or interference in capturing the alligator.

The gator eluded the traps and there hadn’t been a sighting in the last month, said Jeff Polhman, the assistant director.

This is so scary. My daughter takes a daily walk around "Alligator Lake" in her Florida town.
