How to Find an Alligator in the Water

Divers suspected they were dealing with a homicide, and had brought in dogs that specialized in finding human remains. One dog focused on a 30 by forty foot area f the canal. My job was to stand by with a rifle and hold a position where i could watch for alligators and insure that these guys weren't attacked by an alligator while they were working in the water. The divers were hoping to find the rest of the body.
