7th foot washes up in B.C.

RICHMOND, B.C.–Another foot has washed up on British Columbia's south coast, the seventh to be found from Georgia Strait to the northwestern tip of Washington State since August of 2007.
RCMP Const. Annie Linteau confirmed that human remains were inside a New Balance runner spotted Tuesday afternoon.
"My first reaction was this was a small size, maybe a woman's shoe," said Ken Johnston, who fished the runner out of the Fraser River off Richmond after his wife spotted it while walking their dog.
"It's kind of blurry now, but my first reaction, my gut reaction was it looks like a woman's shoe, a left shoe."
One right New Balance runner – the only one belonging to a woman – has been found since the first foot was located on Jedidiah Island in Georgia Strait on Aug. 20, 2007.
The right-foot New Balance runner was located May 22, on Kirkland Island in the Fraser River, not far from the site of Tuesday's discovery.
All the other feet have been located at several sites around Georgia Strait between 2007 and Aug. 4, 2008.
That's when human remains were found in a runner washed up on the U.S. San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington State.
Police have determined that two of the runners – found Feb. 8 on Valdez Island and June 16 off Richmond – are a match.
DNA testing linked one foot to a depressed man who disappeared in 2007 but the other remains have not been identified.
Authorities believe none of the feet was cut off.
They say it appears all the remains were "naturally disarticulated" from their bodies, fitting with expert theories that when a human body is submerged in the ocean, main parts like arms, legs, hands, feet and the head are usually what come off first.
