Horrifying Moment Man Sees Woman in The Mouth of A 13ft Alligator
A man on his way to a job interview has spotted a woman’s body in the mouth of a massive alligator but initially thought it was a mannequin.
Jamarcus Bullard was walking past a canal in Largo, Florida, when he made the grim discovery. The body was later identified by police and family as local grandma Sabrina Peckham, 41.
Jamarcus Bullard said he was walking to a job interview when he saw the 13ft alligator lurking in the shallow waters with something in its massive jaws.
He told local broadcaster Fox 13: “It was my first time seeing a gator in real life, so I was like it’s pretty cool, but once I saw what it had I was like ‘is that like a mannequin?’ It was pale and white.”
He had spotted the lower torso of Ms. Peckham. In a later interview with 10 Tampa Bay, he said: “It was just clamped onto it, and swam backwards to the bottom of the canal… I just couldn’t believe it was real.”
Ms. Peckham’s heartbroken daughter Breauna Dorris said her mum had living among a “homeless population that lived in the nearby wooded area.” A fundraiser has been set up to help pay for her funeral.
She also slammed suggestions that her mum had taunted the massive alligator before she was killed.
She wrote on Facebook: “Please understand that we do not have all information yet as the medical examiner's report is not yet finished. Some details I would like to share is that my mother did not ‘taunt’ the alligator as some are saying in the news outlets comments.”
She added: “It is believed that she may have been walking to or from her camp site near the creek in the dark and the alligator attacked from the water. Please do not speak on what you don’t know. No matter how you put it, no one deserves to die like this.”
