Don't believe the missing left foot or sock thing is just in these cases? Wasn't Chandra Levi missing her left foot? Here's a left sock story that goes way back:

It was about the year 1863 that a band of cutthroat, bloodthirsty Indians made a trip through the
country committing murders and stealing horses. They made an attack on Bill Park Sr. cabin and
killed them. Shortly after the Park’s attack by the Indians, another chapter of human sacrifice was
written in blood in the Little Saline Creek Community. Schumann, and his twelve year old, son
Billy were building a new cabin. They stopped by the Reichenau’s cabin and Adolph warned them
that he had seen signs of Indians in the area, and advised them against proceeding any further
alone since there were unfriendly Indians in the area. Adolph’s advice was not heeded and later
that afternoon young Billy’s Schumann’s horse came running at full speed, nervous and excited
into the Reichenau settlement. Adolph came home later that night and got organized and by
daybreak the following morning the men had saddled and rode to the scene of the tragedy. Gus
Reichenau rode Billy’s horse. The horse got so scared and excited that Gus could not induce it to
go within a hundred yards of the place. On examining the ground they concluded that the Indians
had chased the pony after the boy had fallen off. It wasn’t long before they found the naked
bodies near the Little Saline Creek. The older Schumann’s body had been shot in the back with
fourteen steel arrowheads. He was lying about three hundred yards from his son, indicating that
the father was shot first. Billy’s body had twelve arrow wounds, all inflicted into his back. A
strange coincidence was that the arrows shot into Billy were all wooden pointed arrows. Both of
them had been scalped and their clothes were taken, except for one sock on Mr. Schumann’s left
foot.

So what IS the significance of the left foot in Native American lore?

Det. Jim Tomsovic says that the drycleaning receipt has a phone number on it: (direct questioning at trial)

Q: I'VE HAD MARKED AS COURT'S EXHIBIT 76 A BROWN PAPER BAG WITH THE NUMBER 22 ON IT. CONTAINS A DOCUMENT. LET ME ASK YOU TO LOOK AT THAT, IF YOU WOULD, DETECTIVE.
A: IT'S A RECEIPT WITH THE NAME WESTERFIELD ON IT AND A PHONE NUMBER. A BOX IS MARKED DRYCLEAN AND A LAUNDRY, SO I WOULD ASSUME IT'S A CLEANER'S RECEIPT.

Q: IS THAT IMPOUNDED ALSO?
A: YES, IT WAS.
