The coroner will determine if the remains belong to Satterlee.

I am very proud of the complex, non-stop work of my deputies and the other agencies who assisted, and I hope their persistence in finding this alligator will help the family cope with their loss. We will continue to keep them in our prayers,” Sheriff Smith said.
