Cindy Waldron : Crocodiles Apex Species of their Environment : Blog :
June 4th 2016 : RANGERS have confirmed that a large crocodile caught yesterday in far north Queensland was the one that attacked and killed a woman on the weekend.
Police on Saturday morning said they believe they have found the remains of New-Zealand born Cindy Waldron, who was taken by a crocodile at Thornton Beach on Sunday night.
The Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) removed and euthanised a large estuarine crocodile from Cooper Creek, not far from where Ms Waldron was taken.
“Wildlife officers believe the 4.3m crocodile is the target animal due to its size and location,” Queensland police said in a statement on Friday evening.
It was the second croc removed as part of the investigation into the death of Ms Waldron, 46, who was dragged underwater at Thornton Beach after venturing into the waist-deep water with friend Leeann Mitchell.
