The woman swimming had been reported missing and the family also stated she had mental health issues. I'm guessing she was having a mental health crisis. At the time the hikers took the video they did not know a woman was missing. They reported video to police when they learned a missing woman's car was found in the park where they had been hiking. Sadly, the woman most likely found her demise in that river. The family confirmed it was their missing daughter/sister. very sad.

This is not a place people go to alone, the person recording needs to be thoroughly investigated why would they SILENTLY record her. this place is known for wild gators.

[cherryg.]

Usually. USUALLY people EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON in a video like “ IVE TOLD THIS LADY NOT TO GO IN THE RIVER BC THERE ARE SO MANY GATORS SHES NOT LISTEN SHES CRAZY TO DO THIS” but ok

[markstomberg]

Someone that goes swimming by themselves with. gators and poison snakes is probably having some mental problems!! Too bad

[LoungeOfLaughs]

But who took this video? Are they also missing?

ZOOOM IN LOOK AT HER IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF HER HANDS IS CHOPPED OFF OMG I HOPE NOT YOOO💔

[lenalandaverde]

Why didn't the person filming try and stop her

[Kirra]

At this point, sadly a gator got her.
She would of showed up by now. I feel sorry for her and her family. Unfortunately I believe whole heartily a gator or gators took her life.

[Ipleadthefifth]

This is unexceptable behavior by law enforcement period

[gregstovka]

Ask the local Gator trappers, what type of gators that they have seen that could be out there... and there is your answer... Big ones

[Night-tf]

more then likely a gator tucked her under a log ti ripen not to be funny but factual for food. sure they find something in the weeks to come

[CelticVictory]

It looks more like she was crossing the river to get to the other side than going for a swim.

[michael_stewart]

look straight forward in the Bush, I see a man, you can see the arm moving

[DanyDelaCruzM]

que te puedo decir... esas cosas no tienen límite...

[desertdreambett]

Looks like someone in black is waving her on by the downed tree branch. Maybe wearing a black shirt with a big logo towards the top, maybe bald. Chronicles of Olivia has mentioned this and when u take a closer look ..I think so too.

[guitarest]

If a gator got her something will show up but if a pack of feral hogs got her there will most likely be nothing left. They'll eat the clothes and the bones.

[virivlogs]

Pobrecita y si esta enferma mental xke la familia la dejo sola

[SmartMoose]

Where can we see the entire footage showing her going unders

[Ipleadthefifth]

Also they DNA tested the water no blood came up she did not get attacked by a gator and one more thing why would the person who took this video not come forward and speak to the family? Why would they stop cooperating with law enforcement?

Some dude is standing over by that tree in the background of this video
