A woman who went for a late night swim at Queensland’s Thornton Beach on Sunday was carried off by a crocodile and remains missing.

In recent decades, the crocodile population in northern Australia has grown significantly, and the reptiles pose serious threats to all who venture near them, according to Sky News. 
ABC News is reporting that a woman who went for a late night swim at Queensland’s Thornton Beach on Sunday was carried off by one of the creatures and remains missing. 
According to a friend who was at her side at the time, the two of them felt a "nudge," and, within moments, 46-year-old Cindy Waldron was dragged away, notes
