Is feet washing a new trend in BC? They are a progressive bunch up there. Jesus washed human feet but as far as I know he never did it in BC. Most of the BC'ers I know do not have smelly feet so I assume they wash regularly.
Otherwise, the human body parts washing up on the shore is weird and I hope they catch the insane maniac who's cutting up people. |

Thankfully the 6 feet are not all from the same person. DNA testing "proved" it. Not common sense, DNA testing.

Very bizarre. I have caught every article on this so far- then again I do have RSS feeds from three different news sources, so it is unlikely that I didn't catch one of them.

It's an outbreak of foot in river mouth disease....
Menacingly, 9 men in their 20s have disappeared from the lower mainland in the past, oh, 9 months. No doubt the cops are exploring that closely… It does feel like an Untraceable style movie which gives it that patina of perverse glamour |

What's so strange to you? Doesn't this kind of thing happen all the time in the U.S.? I've seen enough CSI to know that.
But, seriously, we don't know.... Maybe we should ask the pig farmer to see if he knows anything.

hoax??? Sixth foot a 'reprehensible' hoax: B.C. coroner Updated Thu. Jun. 19 2008 4:13 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff A sixth foot believed to have washed ashore on Vancouver Island was not human, although it was found inside a sock and running shoe, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. "A forensic pathologist and an anthropologist have examined the shoe and remains, and determined a skeletonised animal paw was inserted into the shoe with a sock and packed with dried seaweed," BCCS said in a statement Thursday. The foot had been found inside a size-10 black Adidas shoe. Five human feet have been found in the waters of the Georgia Strait area between Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland in the past year, and only one has been a left foot. The first two feet washed up in August 2007, one on Gabriola Island, the other on Jedidiah Island. Then in February another foot appeared on Valdes Island. B.C.'s chief coroner Terry Smith has said foul play is not suspected because there does not appear to be any evidence the bones were severed. Investigators are focusing on the missing bodies of four plane crash victims who disappeared in February 2005. The discovery of the sixth foot had cast doubt on whether the crash and the feet were connected, because it seemed to indicate a fifth body. "This type of hoax is reprehensible and very disrespectful to the families of missing persons," said BCCS. "It fuels inappropriate speculation and creates undue anxiety for families and communities while wasting valuable investigative time and resources that could be spent on the main investigations." |

They're really dragging their heels about solving this thing.
Well... heel. (Okay, confession: this was what my dad used to say about my grandma after she had one leg amputated at the knee. Also, "You know grandma, she's got her feet dug in. Well... foot.") |

They were going to hire a private dick to help with case but thought a gum shoe might have more insight.

Not only that, but a gumshoe would be more liable to go toe to toe with the perpetrator and really sock him one.

At the risk of being a step ahead of anyone else, the news just reported that the most recent foot to wash up was a hoax. It was actually an animal foot that was placed into a shoe. The rest however, I have no idea so far...

Apparently some sick joke is afoot. Deplorable.

Well, the police should really put their foot down rather than just wait for the other shoe to drop.

Seriously, it might be an airplane crash. They are getting relatives of missing person's cases to volunteer DNA to see if they can identify who they are.
(Note that there are 4 left feet, and 1 right foot. A bad-dancers convention is suspected as the source.)
