More on found feet

By at 1:29 pm Friday, Jul 11

Here at BB, we've been carefully monitoring the story of the unattached feet that keep turning up on British Columbia shores. Five have washed ashore so far since last August. Last night, police reported on DNA tests revealing that two of the feet once belonged to the same male and one of the feet was from a female. All of the feet found seem to have disconnected from their owners' bodies via natural decomposition. From CNN:
The five feet were found in running shoes. Four of the shoes were made between 2003 and 2004, according to police, and the other was made in 1999. The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) released photos of the shoes hoping someone can help identify the remains.

"We are asking anyone who may have had their loved one last seen wearing this particular pair of shoes to contact us immediately," (RCMP Constable Annie) Linteau said.
