Well, Lestrade, you never learn the art of observation, do you.

He caught her for wearing “crocs”

“Let’s just keep it in the family.”

a bit grim…. :P

It looks like an open and shut case to me.

Does she live in a gatored community?

Call Swamp People to crack the case(s).

Larry?

I believe we have a green widow serial killer.

So, her name is Ali Gator? Good one! I wonder if she has a cousin named Gary Ell.

Not a lot of variety in those bags – seems like a waste of a husbandly hide.

Was his name Wally, and if the officer did figure it out would she have eaten him?

I luv the gator’s expression!

The alligator boots on her shelf seem to make this tall tale so very much on point.

One day a U.S. Army Ranger decided he wanted to get himself some gator boots, and being a U.S. Army Ranger he wasn’t about to go to a store for some. Instead he goes out to the bayou to find a gator to make himself some shoes. So he comes across a local man and asks him where he can find a gator. The man gives him directions and tells him to keep an eye out for some Marines who had gone into the bayou a few days ago and should’ve been back by now.

So the Ranger goes into the bayou and sure enough he sees two Marines standing waist high in the water. He looks over and sees the shore littered with dead gators. Then a gator swims up and lunges at the Marines, who jump on it and go wild, killing it. After it’s dead they pull it to the shore and flip it over, checking it’s feet. "Darn it this one ain’t got no boots either.

Apparently Ali got the gator boots thing all figured out.
