One foot at a time.....

I'm a logical guy.  Feet wash up on shore from missing persons, and there is no foul play and no connection?  I guess when you are a missing person it is easy for your foot to just fall off.

(CNN)A man walking his dog on a British Columbia beach this week made a grisly discovery: A foot in a shoe, along with part of a lower leg. Adding to the mystery is that it is the 13th foot to wash up on the Canadian province's coastline over the past decade.

"Our early analysis suggests these are human remains and we will do further investigation and testing ... in the coming weeks," said Andy Watson, a spokesman for the BC Coroners Service, about the Thursday discovery. The remains included a tibia and fibula.

The Coroners Service said all previous 12 feet were human. The service identified eight of them and determined they belonged to six individuals.

No foul play was involved in those cases, according to the Coroners Service, though it did not say how it arrived at that conclusion.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Coroners Service are trying to identify the owner of the foot found this week, as well as the cause of death. They said they will look into any possible matches to missing persons cases.

It's not clear why so many feet have washed up on British Columbia shores. When asked, the coroner's spokesman said, "I'm not able to speak to" the reason.  Watson said, however, "There's no reason to believe that they (the cases) were connected in any way."

Nothing to say the last one came from a missing person. Could be that person just decided to discard one foot for personal reasons. :whistling:

"Lame"

Or perhaps legless as happens.

Cheers, Steve.

In Miami FL, body parts wash up on the shoreline all the time.

We live south of Vancouver Island. Much has been made of this online as click bait. Simple answer, tennis shoes float Vancouver Island is the first location directly inline with the current from Asia. As bodies decompose in the ocean the shoe with foot detach the shoe protecting the foot from scavengers. Eventually some will beach and be discovered.

Or it could be the “Grays “ dumpling body parts off shore.

It could be a Canadian "Sonny Bean"

Many years ago in Scotland on the solway firth people would go. Missing and the odd body part turn up on the sand ,locals formed a millitia to try and find out the reason ,they eventually discovered sonny bean and his family

They were cannibals a lot of the children had been born of  incest

They were all hung 

Except the ones that were reported to Canada
