DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - The Latest on a report of a woman dragged into a Florida pond by an alligator (all times local):

1:40 p.m.
   
Authorities are working to capture an alligator in a Florida pond after a witness' report led police to believe the animal may have dragged a woman into the water.
   
However, it remained unclear Friday what the witness saw. News media earlier reported a caller told police he saw a gator drag a woman into the water as she was walking her dogs.
   
Davie Police Detective Viviana Gallinal now says the witness told authorities he saw the woman walking two dogs and then noticed the dogs barking near the water. The witness did not see the woman again.
   
Gallinal said trappers have spotted a 12-foot (3.5-meter) alligator in the pond.
   
News media earlier reported divers were searching the water. However, Davie Police Maj. Dale Engle clarified that no divers could search the water until the alligator was captured.

Davie police and the FWC declined to confirm the victim’s identity. But five people who came to the park said they were relatives and friends of the missing woman, who they identified as Shizuka Matsuki, of Plantation.

Its really best to stay away from the shore of ponds and lakes.  Especially if you have small children or animals with you.
