Human remains found inside 14ft crocodile believed to be that of missing Cindy Waldron

Human remains found inside a 14ft crocodile are believed to be that of missing Cindy Waldron.

The 46-year-old was last seen on a beach in Queensland, Australia on Sunday where she went for a late night swim.

Her last words to friend Leeann Mitchell, who tried to save her, were "a croc has got me".

Police said they caught the crocodile on Friday and it has since been put down.

"Wildlife officers believe the crocodile is the target animal due to its size and location," a spokesman said.

Earlier this week, Ms Waldron's family made an emotional visit to the beach where she died.

Her father Pat Waldron said: "We need to be here and cry on the beach.

"There's signs everywhere - don't go swimming with the crocodiles.

"She (Cindy) would do crazy things. And what she did there is a crazy thing, absolutely."
