A man walking his dog on a British Columbia beach this week made a grisly discovery: A foot in a shoe, along with part of a lower leg. Adding to the mystery is that it is the 13th foot to wash up on the Canadian province's coastline over the past decade.
"Our early analysis suggests these are human remains and we will do further investigation and testing ... in the coming weeks," said Andy Watson, a spokesman for the BC Coroners Service, about the Thursday discovery. The remains included a tibia and fibula.
The Coroners Service said all previous 12 feet were human. The service identified eight of them and determined they belonged to six individuals.
No foul play was involved in those cases, according to the Coroners Service, though it did not say how it arrived at that conclusion.

After the Tsunami, Japans Sea Creatures Crossed an Ocean

If they were dismembered the parts could have been scattered many different places. Have they ever found a foot without a shoe? Where did the missing people go missing?
Awesome
I thought it was two.
Those aren’t the kind of shoes fishermen and sailors wear. I worked at sea and no one would ever think of wearing those.
It must be the photography but shoe’s 11 and 12 are thought to be the same person’s but they look different in color.
Seems odd that suicides would all prefer athletic shoes (one exception).
Wingtips would sink like rocks.
I wonder if there are any common threads among the different people identified though their shoes and flesh? I wonder what was last remembered about them and where they were last expected to be or seen.
