Sixth foot found on B.C. shore

[bubba zanetti]

Some of you may recall I posted about this some months ago when a fourth foot in a sneaker was found washed up along the coast here. Well, we are up to 6 now. Really, really odd.

Another human foot is believed to have been discovered on a B.C. shore, the sixth such grisly discovery in the last ten months.

RCMP in Campbell River on Vancouver Island said a local woman strolling a beach found an Adidas sneaker this morning, containing what appears to be a man's foot.

“It's certainly suspicious,” Sergeant Mike Tresoor said in an interview.

“A lady walking on the beach alerted us to this. … It appears to be human remains. We haven't absolutely confirmed it – it will be confirmed through a pathologist.”

It appears to be a man's right foot, size 10. The first four were also right feet.

Interesting. I guess it's only feet that don't appeal to this psychos' taste. Maybe it's a Sasquach that just strips em off to the foot like some shrimp tail.

I guess we'll just have to wait for the other shoes to drop.

Now there's an understatement.

To sovle this will take leg work

[DredheadV2.0]

I wonder if it isn't some crazed podiatrist killing off his arch-rivals.

[Grnarrowe]

Talk about your fallen arches!

Prolly Med students with a twisted sense of humor....

[Mrs. DantesDame]

The detectives will have to tread lightly

[919Maniac]

A finally.... "A mystery is afoot!"

[Grnarrowe]

Prolly Med students with a twisted sense of humor....

Or a twisted ankle.

[blackbeltrider]

If the police can't solve this, will they suffer the agony of de feet?

More likely a sinister pedophile!

The killer must be a real heel.

[spinalator]

Do the vic's toe-prints match any known perps?

[DredheadV2.0]

The RCMP will take all proper steps, investigating from every ankle.

[Croak]

Wow, looks like everyone in this thread put on thier punning shoes.  I love you guys!  

[Bunbun]

how many feet apart from each other were they?

Expect the police to make great strides in their investigation when an anonymous tipster (calling himself "Lefty") fingers a doctor named Marten.  He will not be the sole perp arrested, however.

Although they may seem off-kilter now, I fully expect the RCMP to strike a new balance shortly.

Someone is a serious Nike fan...

[Fast Blue]

Giv'em a foot they'll take a mile

[spinalator]

It is becoming increasingly hard to stomp out crime, even thought police are awash with leads.

Nice to see everyone keeping instep and toeing the line.

There's an arch criminal behind this, that's for sure.

[bubba zanetti]

So ... er ... bobs your ankle.

[Crunch]

I can't believe this! You people are so insensitive!  Those feet were attached to real people with real lives!

You have no sole!

[The Shepherd]

The prosecution had a crazy podiatrist they were going to charge in this case but the crown couldn't come up with enough evidence on him. The judge said they didn't have a leg to stand on.

[UFO]

Seems like it would be an easy task to figure out who these belong too by matching DNA to missing people, unless no one cares about these missing people...or someone is doing psychotic deeds on a ship that come in and out of the straits.  Man, that would be tough to solve.

[Corbeau]

Skipper, are you familiar with the concept of "a pun"?

Because you kinda missed the boot with your post.

[Scratch33]

I wonder if it isn't some crazed podiatrist killing off his arch-rivals.

A relative, perhaps?

[blackwing]

I don't see what's so hard about this case,any good gumshoe should be able to solve it

[Croak]

Too many people were waiting for the other shoe to drop, which made this a toetally plausable hoax.

This case is untied to the others.  After a paws to actually investigate, they determined the foot inside was not human.

Latest "foot" found on Vancouver Island a hoax

VANCOUVER, B.C. — The British Columbia Coroner's Service says a prankster is responsible for a sixth foot that apparently washed ashore on the south coast of the province.

On Wednesday, a woman walking along a beach near Campbell River on Vancouver Island said she spotted some bones protruding from a size 10 black Adidas running shoe.

Five other feet have been found in the Vancouver area since last August. Those feet were human.

But the coroner's service says a forensic pathologist and anthropologist examined the latest foot and found it actually was an animal paw inserted into the shoe, along with a sock packed with dried seaweed.

The coroner's service called the hoax reprehensible and disrespectful to the families of missing people.

A joke or has Rexy been wearing my shoes?

[Kootenanny]

Aha!  Watson, the game is afoot!

[spinalator]

Another foot has been found in a sock and New Balance shoe.  The story just will not run out of steam. Here is a link to jog your memory. I am going to go walk the dog.

Stay away from the beach and if you see Mis with a chainsaw let us know.

[SilverHound]

 … It appears to be human remains.

Glad they're not jumping to conclusions...perhaps there are several other "species" that wear sneakers...I just can't think of any.

[barb]

*LOL*



Well, there is a sub-species. They are tall, ravenous appetites, choose to keep their dens lined with dirty clothing etc, and communicate with grunts and clicks only....

...male teenagers

[Mr. Whippy]

Clearly the perpetrator is not at all right.  Others have suggested it's being carried out by leftist rebels.

One of the previous was a hoax with some kind of animal foot stuffed into a sock and sneaker.  The news media was all OMG!!! then uh, just kidding.

[bubba zanetti]

This is one callous criminal.

Sock it to me.
