KSUChiefsTarheelFan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Looks like they found another one... A 6th human foot found on Canada's Pacific coast By JEREMY HAINSWORTH – 5 hours ago VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Another human foot was found Wednesday on a British Columbia shoreline, the second this week and the sixth within a year in a bizarre mystery that has confounded police. Like most of the others, it was a right foot encased in a running shoe, said Sgt. Mike Tresoor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He said a citizen spotted it on a beach and no other remains were found. The feet all were recovered within a few miles of each other along island shorelines in the Strait of Georgia, which lies to the south and west of the city of Vancouver. Authorities say they haven't reached any conclusions about the origin of the feet but are working to determine if there are any links to any other partial remains recovered in the province. "Too my knowledge, we have not encountered anything like this," RCMP spokeswoman Annie Linteau told The Associated Press Wednesday evening. She declined to speculate if foul play was involved. She did suggest that the latest find could be from the body of a missing fishermen or a plane crash victim, but she didn't provide any specifics. "In the first four cases, we did not find any evidence the feet were severed," she said. "It's too early to say if this foot was severed." She said the fifth case was being handled by local police and was not under RCMP jurisdiction. Terry Smith, the chief coroner of British Columbia, said this week that DNA profiles from the first three feet have not helped to determine identities because they have not matched any existing samples. Smith and others have suggested that the feet didn't sink but floated to shore because they were encased in buoyant running shoes. The first three feet washed ashore about 40 miles southwest of Vancouver on islands in the Strait of Georgia. The first foot was discovered last summer by beachcombers. Days later, a foot was found inside a man's Reebok sneaker. The remains of a third right foot were found Feb 8. The fourth foot was found May 22 on Kirkland Island in the Fraser River, about 15 miles south of Vancouver. About a mile away, the fifth foot — and only left foot, was discovered Monday morning floating in water off Westham Island. Local speculation has been rife with some reports claiming they belonged to victims of violent crimes or a plane crash. Tresoor said major crime investigators from the Campbell River detachment, along with staff from the coroner's office, were investigating at the scene. "The object will ultimately be examined by a forensic pathologist in attempts to determine the source of the foot and if it is related to other feet recently found," Tresoor said in a statement.

Controller Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I wonder if someone who works at a crematorium has got a sick sense of humor. Otherwise, how could five or six people be running around without a foot (pun intended) and nobody is reporting them missing (the people, not the feet).

Savage Beatings Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Could this be some kind of horrible underground slave labor ring... where they cut off feet to keep people from escaping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 can't be that meany, could it? I'd call the person a sick bastard. But meany works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sooner or later the other shoe is going to drop ... and when that happens I suspect some people are going to get their toes stepped on whether they like it or not. Time for the authorities to put their foot down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Do you think those folks put their best foot forward? Or is this possibly an attempt to stomp out the evil fungus known as Athlete's Foot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauders11 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 can't be a whole lot of foot traffic on that beach or somebody surely would have seen something and suspected that something wicked was afoot. Unless of course the Policeshut the place down so that they could get a toe hold into the situation and not drag their feet, avoiding looking like a bunch of heels for not having shaken a leg and gotten off on the right foot with the investigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
