In 2008 feet in shoes started to be found in Canada on the shoreline. It started out as mostly the left foot being found. Later people started to report finding a foot in a shoe on the shoreline in other places. Two feet in Nikes from 2008 have now been traced back to a missing person from 2004. Good detective work.
Never heard about that. Although confirming the identity doesn’t really count as “solved” in my book (their words in the article). They still don’t seem to have any idea how the feet ended up there. I don’t get how foul play could not be suspected. Were these people just trying to get a new Internet meme going or something?
ETA: also, what “natural processes” could separate a healthy young person’s foot/feet from their body? Clearly they must have died somehow, but the bodies were never found?
We’ve had numerous threads in the past as new sightings have occurred. The shoes float so when the body breaks up the shoe with a foot floats away and ends up on shorelines. Good detective work was for matching the feet to a person.
The real mystery is why the serial killer has decided his victims are better footless. I mean, I’ve heard of a foot fetish, but a footless fetish?
Perhaps the serial killer has no sole?
He’s a heel.
I just hope the authorities get a leg up on this situation. Perhaps they should look along the Jersey Shore?
I just knew this thread would be laced with bad puns.
Have you ever tried to hold in a really big sneeze?
Don’t.
Perhaps we could offer Zsa Zsa one of the feet?
They were Footloose.
I’m thinking Canada has one sick Charlie Chaplin fan.
Then all she would need is a leg up.
As Sherlock would say, “The game is afoot.”
And in this case, the foot is the game.
You punners need to stuff a sock in it.
Yeah, I know I put a foot in my mouth.
When I worked at the Grand Canyon, one of our back country rangers called into dispatch to report that he found a shoe on caught in some rocks in the Colorado River. The dispatcher rolled her eyes and told him to put it in his pack and take it to the nearest garbage collection site. People frequently lose items off the boats as they go over the rapids, so an abandoned shoe is not an uncommon find. The ranger came back on the radio and said he didn’t want to put it in his back pack because a foot was still in it. The radio silence was deafening. A shoe with a foot still in it is NOT something you find everyday.
Wasn’t this a Bones episode about a month ago?
I complained that I had no shoes…
mmm
