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.

411 Missing Persons author David Paulides has been reporting on this for more than 10 years. RCMP are just lazing around as usual.

Nope, can't get anything past them.......

Really? I mean, you find feet sans torsos and they don't suspect foul play?..............

“Our early analysis suggests these are human remains”

Are there a lot of shoe wearing sea creatures?

Wow.

Its a Russian psy-op

[BenLurkin]

Kinda makes a person wonder, doesn’t it?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They are assuming that they are suicides and the feet came of in the natural course of the body disintegrating.

The foot then floated to the surface because the shoe is light and ended up being taken by the currents to where they found it.

I will be the first to admit there are a LOT of assumptions in the statement but that is their current working theory.

There was a TV show on this-——but where I saw it escapes me-———about 2 years ago.

Before the latest shoe dropped....

Well, unless there’s a 1 or 3 legged person formerly running around out there, there’s at least 1 more foot to come :)

. . . this has been going on for years.

Fisherman, sailor, or other unfortunate gets washed overboard. Sea creatures eat the remains but can't get at the foot in the shoe, which also protects the foot from decomposition. Foot detaches from rest of remains, floats with running shoe, drifts to shore. Folks develop conspiracy theories.

So it goes.

Looks like there’s a psycho killer loose.

"And did those feet in ancient time, walk upon England's mountains green?........."

_{Did somebody say 'mattress' to Mr. Lambert?}
