The woman was reported to have calmly said 'I guess I won't do this again,' moments before she disappeared into the water, according to a new incident report.

"When Covert was doing her [the friend's] nails on the porch she saw the alligator in the pond and was fascinated by the alligator," according to the friend, the report said." stated after Covert was finished with her nails she went outside of the porch and was taking pictures of the alligator."
