RICHMOND, B.C. — A pair of feet that washed ashore in British Columbia in 2008 have been linked to a Canadian woman who committed suicide in 2004 by jumping into the Fraser River, officials said.

The B.C. Coroners Service said Wednesday it was able to make the identification after a post-mortem investigation, which included a DNA analysis.

The woman's family has been notified, but at their request, her name is not being made public.

Officials said the woman committed suicide by jumping into the Fraser River from the Pattullo Bridge in New Westminster, B.C., in April 2004.

I always suggested that to track down the owners of the missing feet investigators should look at every area IHOP.

They made a perfect pair....

Trying to think of some logical explanation. If she jumped FEET FIRST and embedded the feet in the mud which could have preserved them, then an earthquake or tsunami lifted them up to the shore?

But why didn't the rest of the body float up too. Were the bones broken? Did she wear waterproof boots? Will she make a public announcement from the grave just like those Obambi signatures from Lake County Indiana?

I think the river freezes in winter and the avg temp at highest is around 16 to 20 degrees Centigrade.

I used to complain I didn’t have shoes until I met two feet that didn’t have a person.

Did she have a camel toe??

[wbill]

Did someone step up to claim them ?

Nah, the investigators were stumped.

imagine you're a killer whale chowing down on a tasty human who has recently sacrificed themselves to the Puget Sound via the Fraser River - nice and fleshy until you get to the feet...

Really ozzymandus,
I was hoping, I mean you don’t often get a really interesting serial murderer like this seemed to be.
Usually just some sex freako.

Good question. I also thought that one of the mysteries of the feet washing ashore there was that they never found a pair.

What, did they identify them via dental records?

Impossible. They would have concluded it was Dick Morris.

indeed

How can it be that she committed suicide in 2004 yet her feet survived until 2008?

She went in head first but was a slow learner?

[Boogieman]

Actually, all the cases I read about, the feet didn’t wash up together, but usually miles apart, and the investigators just matched them up.

Looks like a nice tall bridge...

What, did they identify them via dental records?

Only if she knew Dick Morris.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

I see....
