Sixth Shoe Adds To Detatched Foot Mystery

Five Other Sneakers Containing Human Feet Have Washed Up On Canadian Beaches, Baffling Investigators

(AP)  An athletic shoe containing bones and flesh has been found on a Washington state beach and authorities are investigating whether it may be linked to a series of human feet found in shoes along the coast of Canada.

Clallam County prosecutor Deb Kelly, who acts as coroner, said Monday the flesh and bones had been sent to the King County medical examiner's office in Seattle to determine if the remains are human.

If the foot is human, the next step would be DNA testing to see if it matches feet found washed ashore across the border in British Columbia.

Authorities said a woman told the Clallam County sheriff's office on Saturday that she found the black, high-top shoe along the beach on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about 30 miles west of Port Angeles.

Kelly said county investigators would meet later this week with members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Five athletic shoes containing human feet have been found along the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland since August 2007. The Strait of Juan de Fuca separates the Canadian island and Washington's Olympic Peninsula.

A sixth foot found in June in British Columbia was determined to be an animal paw that had been shoved inside a shoe as a hoax.

"We're a little apprehensive since the last one was a hoax," said Detective Sgt. Lyman Moores.

DNA testing linked one of the Canadian feet to a depressed man who went missing a year ago. Investigators have also concluded that two of the five feet belonged to one man and that one foot was from a woman.

British Columbia coroner Jeff Dolan has said there was no evidence the feet were severed. Experts say that when a human body is submerged in the ocean, the arms, legs, hands, feet and head usually come off the body.

A foot, inside a sock and sandal washed up on the beach in Northern MI, I think Lake Huron awhile back, seems to be more comman than I had thought. We dont have sharks, but the Muskie and Northern Pike will easily devour a person it found deceased in the water.

Hasn''t there been TONS of cargo that washes up regularly on the south coast of Alaska? Cargo falls overboard from freighters in the ocean, and ocean currents carry them to this part of the continent.

Shores are littered with things like pairs of sneakers and heads of cabbage.

Why body parts wash up near the U.S./Canada border is hard to explain.

[txgrouch2006]

There are no larger body parts found because those are taken away by animals and eaten.

No person was reported missing because these individuals were involved in organized crime and got whacked. Their bodies were dumped in the ocean, and they washed ashore in bits and pieces.
