Since the divorce, the press has been really hounding her. To lay low, she has been thinking of changing her name to Eileen.

Thought I would punt this into the mix: hot off the presses:
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/0...t.html?ref=rss Severed foot found in Sweden, 'too early' to say about links to B.C. finds Last Updated: Tuesday, July 8, 2008 | 4:42 PM ET Comments25Recommend31CBC News A man's shoe containing a human foot was found Tuesday on the seashore in southern Sweden but local authorities say it's too soon to say if there's any link to the five severed feet found along the southern B.C. coast since August 2007. Police in the Swedish resort town of Halmstad, about 500 kilometres southwest of Stockholm, said lifeguards spotted a shoe bobbing upside down in the surf a day earlier and decided to turn it over with a stick on Tuesday afternoon. "They had seen the shoe yesterday, sploshing around at the water's edge," said Joakim Sjolander, spokesman for regional police. The foot has been sent to a local laboratory for forensic tests. DNA samples are to be compared to genetic records from people who have gone missing in the area, said Sjölander. "We do not currently suspect a crime has been committed," he added. He added that it was "far too early" to talk of a link between the foot in Halmstad and five feet that floated ashore on Canada's Pacific coast. The first two feet washed up last August on B.C.'s Gabriola and Jedediah islands in the Strait of Georgia. The third foot was found in February on nearby Valdes Island, the fourth in late May on Kirkland Island in the mouth of the Fraser River and the fifth foot in June on Westham Island, also in the Fraser River. A sixth appendage found near Campbell River, B.C., in June was found to be an animal's foot, apparently stuffed into a shoe by pranksters. Investigators say they have not yet determined where the feet might have come from, nor have they been linked to any missing people in B.C. Theories on the origin of the floating feet range from remnants of decomposed bodies of people who've fallen off ships to parts of victims of the 2004 tsunami borne on Pacific currents to Canada's coasts, a serial killer or killers who dump their prey at sea and bored or mischievous people with access to cadaver parts running an elaborate hoax. |

giving you guys a toe-in on breaking news:
http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/abc...ed_feet_080710 Two feet washed ashore in B.C. from same person Two of the five feet found in British Columbia over the past year came from the same man, police from that province said Thursday. 2 of 5 feet belong to same person View more MSN videosGo to CTV.ca Officers from RCMP 'E' Division display an image of one of the shoes found, during a press conference in Vancouver on Thursday, July 10, 2008. CTV.ca News Staff Appearing at a news conference, RCMP Const. Annie Linteau said there is no evidence of trauma or tool markings to suggest the feet were severed. "It appears it's a natural process of decomposition," she said, adding, "We have to be aware these still could be homicide victims." Police say the identities of the victims remain a mystery that they are working to solve. They have compiled a list of all missing persons from British Columbia, and some from Alberta, and are reviewing each file for possible connections to this case. Their list began with 243 men and 159 women but they have eliminated 130 of the men as possible matches, Linteau said. She said they have not found any evidence that indicates the incidents are connected but all possibilities are being investigated. The first foot was found on Jedidiah Island, in the strait that divides Vancouver Island from the mainland, on Aug. 20. It was a right foot inside a Campus-brand men's size 12 running shoe that was mainly distributed in India, police said. Six days later, another right foot -- inside a man's size 12 Reebok running shoe -- washed ashore on Gabriola Island. A third, a right foot in a Nike sneaker, was found in the area on Feb. 8 on the east side of Valdez Island. The fourth and fifth feet were both found near the Fraser River. The fourth came ashore on Kirkland Island on May 22 and was the only one of the five that came from a woman's body. It was found in a New Balance running shoe. The fifth, a size 10 left foot, was located a kilometre away on June 16. It was later determined to be a match to the foot found months earlier on Valdez Island. A sixth washed-up shoe was found to be a hoax when police realized it had been stuffed with an animal's paw. Families wait for results Family members of two plane crash victims who disappeared in 2005 believe the feet may be those of their loved ones. After analyzing DNA samples from the feet and members of the crash victims' families, police determined the feet did not belong to Arnie Feast or Fabian Bedard, two of four people who went missing after the crash. The DNA from the family of brothers Doug and Trevor DeCock is still being analyzed, said Linteau. The DNA tests tell little else about the feet's original owners, said forensic scientist Dean Hilderbrand. The type of analysis being used, the most common DNA test among North American law enforcement, does not indicate the race of the subject or the date of death, he said. "These were obviously very challenging samples," he said. "The DNA doesn't give any information about how long these samples have been in the water." The news conference featured speakers from the RCMP, B.C. Coroner's Office and the Delta Police Service. They showed pictures of the types of sneakers found and listed the years in which each shoe was sold, appealing for help from people whose loved ones may have disappeared wearing similar shoes. When asked about a foot found in Sweden this week, Linteau said they had no indication it was connected to their investigation. |

http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/463759 Now there's a body with no feet Email story Choose text size Report typo or correction Email the author License this article B.C. authorities await FBI data on connection to feet washed ashore Jul 20, 2008 04:30 AM Comments on this story (1) Petti Fong Western Canada Bureau Chief MAYNE ISLAND, B.C.–RCMP have solved part of the mystery of the severed feet after matching one pair with a missing Vancouver man, but a new twist emerged this weekend with the disclosure that a footless body was found 16 months ago in Washington state. Five feet, all in running shoes, have washed up on B.C. shorelines since last August. Sgt. Pierre Lemaitre said yesterday DNA samples confirm two of those feet belonged to a man from the Greater Vancouver area. His family, who asked for privacy over the weekend so they could inform other relatives, had submitted the samples to the B.C. Coroner's Service. The man was apparently depressed, family members told RCMP. "At this point, the major crime investigators feel that this is not as a result of foul play," Lemaitre said. The RCMP will release more information about the man tomorrow, he said. The other feet belong to two men and one woman, according to DNA samples, police say. But in an unusual turn, RCMP and the coroner's office are now awaiting FBI data on a body found with no feet just south of B.C. in the San Juan Islands of Washington state. Coroner Randall Gaylord said yesterday that a hiker on the remote shores of Orcas Island found human remains on the shore in March of last year. The nearly intact skeleton belonged to a man at least 30 years old and 5-foot-9. Missing were the right arm and hand, the left hand and both feet. Tidal currents in the area have deposited human remains from the Vancouver area on the San Juan Islands before. Gaylord, coroner for the past 14 years, recalled investigating one such case in the 1990s. The nearly intact body of a Vancouver mechanic, still wearing his blue coveralls, who had jumped off a bridge in the Fraser River, floated all the way to the islands. Gaylord said the body found in 2007 on the San Juans' Orcas Island was sent to the FBI crime lab to see if dental records could provide a match. He didn't think to check with the B.C. coroner and RCMP until a week ago, when Canadian police released pictures of the shoes that had washed ashore. "It's possible this is just a coincidence," said Gaylord. "Once our DNA profile is done, we can meet with them and compare results." Gaylord said a black Merrell athletic shoe was found near the skeleton, but no one knows whether it belonged with the human remains. A red and white argyle sock with the brand name of London department store Harrods was inside the shoe. DNA results have also confirmed none of the feet washed ashore in British Columbia match the four missing victims of a 2005 Quadra Island plane crash. Early this month, investigators told relatives of two of the victims, Arnie Feast and Fabian Bedard, the DNA was not a match. This week, relatives of brothers Doug and Trevor Decock were also informed that the remains in the shoes were not a match. |

Just when you thought it was safe to go swimming:
More Feet!!! TheStar.com | Canada | 7th foot washes up in B.C. 7th foot washes up in B.C. THE CANADIAN PRESS 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.
