furie Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Severed Foot is 12th Found on Vancouver-Area Beaches Since 2007 QUOTE Yet another severed foot, this one in a jogging shoe, has been found on the shore near Vancouver. It is possibly the twelfth such discovery in the last four years to wash up on beaches near Vancouver, along the southern Georgia Strait and off Washington state. Most of the remains have not been identified, but two of the feet are believed to have belonged to men who had been reported missing. In prior cases, police said the feet appeared to have come off bodies naturally and that foul play was not suspected. Police so far have no theories about how or why the foot ended up in the water, and The Canadian Press said the British Columbia Coroners Service is involved in the investigation. Feet of both men and women have been among the grisly discoveries. When they first started turning up, there was speculation that a serial killer was at large, that the remains were part of a human trafficking ring from Asia or that remnants of bodies were washing up from the 2004 tsunami, according to The Star. But oceanographers determined the bodies originated somewhere along the West Coast. The first foot was discovered in August 2007 on Jedidiah Island in the Strait of Georgia. A week later, another foot was found on Gabriola Island. Since then, they have turned up with bizarre regularity. This seems like an easy one to solve. just look for people who only have one foot living in BC. Done. Next mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I saw a show about this a month or so ago. I think it was on the Investigation Discovery channel or one similar to that. Definitely a strange occurence. The show pretty much said the feet were probably of people who had drowned. And the reason for the feet still being in the shoe is because when the bodys decomposed the feet were preserved in the shoes because of them being tied. It makes sense but it's still a "what the f**k?" type of event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
