The 31-year-old Florida woman fatally mauled by a massive alligator was kneeling in just three feet of water when the reptile attacked – leaving her boyfriend desperately trying to wrench her from its jaws as it ripped apart her arms, officials said. The Orlando woman was swimming with her boyfriend and best friend in the Econlockhatchee River at Little Big Econ State Forest – nearly 30 miles inland – Sunday afternoon when the monstrous gator suddenly lunged from the water and locked its toothy maw on her, ripping one arm “completely off.” The attack also left her other arm dislocated as her boyfriend frantically jumped in to save her, according to a harrowing 911 call.
