Update on the B.C. Mystery Feet

We’ve been following the severed foot story at Law is Cool for some time now. Ian MacKenzie, a freelance new media producer from Vancouver, contacted us to let us know that he’s been doing some independent journalism on the topic as well. His video, including some interesting interviews with RCMP and B.C. Coroner’s Service spokespeople, is embedded below.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the story is that over the past 18 months, 6 severed feet have washed ashore on BC’s coast. The story has achieved international notoriety, as investigators on both sides of the border have no idea where the feet came from.

DNA analysis has revealed Foot #3 and Foot #5 came from the same person (though the body has never been found).  Also, one foot has been connected to a known missing person, and another has been identified as coming from a female.  As for the rest of the mystery, answers continue to elude police.

Thanks Ian!
