Mystery feet raise a stink in BC

feetFor the past several months, severed human feet have been washing up on the shores of islands in British Columbia’s Georgia Straits.

Reuters reports that a fourth such severed foot has been found. A passer-by was walking along the shore on Kirkland Island, near the mouth of the Fraser River, when he made the gruesome discovery. The foot was still wearing a shoe.

Police aren’t drawing any conclusions about whether the owners of the feet are alive or dead, or whether this is the result of a grisly accident or something more sinister. DNA testing has failed to link the feet to any known missing persons.

For now, the feet remain a mystery.

  1. I believe all four feet were shoe-clad. The first one had a Reebok basketball shoe on.
