The Mystery is Afoot: Sixth Severed Foot Found in BC

By: Lawrence Gridin · June 18, 2008 · Filed Under Criminal Law · 3 Comments 

Another foot, the sixth in ten months, has washed has up on a BC island.

This latest foot was found on Vancouver Island by a woman who was walking along the beach.

The severed foot was found inside a size 10 men’s Adidas running shoe. The other feet were also found inside running shoes, apparently because the air pockets inside keep them buoyant.

While I personally think that all these feet turning up over 10 months in a relatively small area is too great a coincidence to be an accident, the Globe and Mail explains that:

Police have released few details on the sixth and fifth feet, but the other four showed signs of disarticulation, which means the foot separated naturally from the leg, not through severing that would prompt speculation of foul play.

Updates

Foot number 6 appears to be a fake, probably the work of a copy cat.

CNN reports,

A “skeletonized animal paw” had been placed in a sock and athletic shoe that was packed with dried seaweed, the British Columbia Coroners Service announced.

But a real 6th foot was discovered on Aug. 4.

    The RCMP is not telling the viewers the truth, nobody goes missing in Canada without them knowing, that is their job. Most makers of running shoes, or any shoe has codes either on the treads or in label, that would indicate if these people were tossed out from freighters, and origin of nationality.
