Does anyone remember in the Wire when, as part of an investigation, the detectives are looking at pictures of a a bunch of bodies with their heads, hands and feet cut off and Bunk says, “I bet a bunch of cops in another city are looking at a bunch of photos of heads, hands and feet right now.”
I’d start my investigation with the local toe truck drivers.
Nat Geo had a show on this story. Included was a test* on a sunken pig carcass to see how bodies decompose underwater. It turns out crabs are the primary scavengers, and they tear apart muscles and tendons until, eventually, the extremities detach. A foot in a shoe will then float to the surface.
*: It wasn’t just for the show; some researcher wanted to study the process like Tennessee’s “Body Farm.”
you all are really toeing a fine line.
A lot of these puns are just corny.
Be that as it may, I’m sure the cases will eventually be solved, as the investigators’ methods are “instep” with modern forensic techniques.
So the next time I murder someone I should take off their shoes before dumping them in the sea?
Yes, but the head detective is inexperienced with this type of case.
It’s a good thing the detectives found out who these feet belong to. Up 'til now, they were stumped.
I hear they’ve begun a foot patrol along the beaches. Perhaps this will give them a step up instead of feeling two feet behind.
How come the cops can solve all kinds of mysteries except this one? It really seems to be their…

one and only weakness. 
Some people take this mystery seriously.
Joking about it may be considered a faux pas.
“Servant, go kill the prodigal son because a fatted calf has returned.”
I can see that being callous is no impediment around here.
Now you can pick someone else’s feet in Poughkeepsie.
You nailed it
At least he didn’t hit the ground running…
And good thing the poor guy wasn’t from Texas…
Hey, don’t all of you go tripping all over yourselves with puns now…
This could be the work of predators. Maybe these people have been preyed upon by pumas.
Maybe Nature is seeking a New Balance.
Are there crocs in those northern waters?
