Pair of mystery feet matched
News in the case of the dismembered feet found washed up in British Columbia: A coroner has matched a foot found in May with one discovered just last month. No word yet on who that particular pair of feet, clad in New Balance running shoes, once belonged to. From the Associated Press:
"In all cases, these remains appear to have naturally separated from the body," said the B.C. Coroners Service."Canada coroner matches pair of mysterious feet"
DNA testing linked one of the Canadian feet to a depressed man who disappeared in 2007. Investigators have also concluded that two of the five feet belonged to one man who has not yet been identified.
Experts say that when a human body is submerged in the ocean, the arms, legs, hands, feet and head usually come off the body. The Coroners Service said it is difficult to determine how long remains have been in the water.

"Investigators have also concluded that two of the five feet belonged to one man."
Wouldn't it be a bitch if they found that more than two belonged to one man? So, I assume that if you matched two, you stop looking for matches. An incredible assumption, and why I don't trust science.
I bet this it totally a guy who works at a funeral home who hacks the feet off people who come into the funeral home. Then he puts their feet into running shoes and throws them in the ocean. Family members don't notice because that end of the coffin is usually closed. I mean think about it; if you've got enough money to spend on $100 running shoes, you're prolly not a transient, and people would notice if you were missing. I don't know, it sounds at the very least plausible. BTW, I'm not the guy doing this.
@CMUWriter: I'm sorry, but that don't make no sense. If he was chopping off feet just because he had some sort of weird fetish, he wouldn't throw them away. He'd keep them as trophes or something. And why would he buy shoes for every pair, why wouldn't he just dump the feet?
And if it were the case that he chopped of feet he got from his funeral home, the depressed man wouldn't be "disappeared", he would be dead. I mean, he probably still is, but his death would be a regular old death which would be easy to find out about.
It doesn't make sense. Then again, no explanation for this story makes any sense. I'm starting to suspect this is one big hoax or something.
Is this story still floating around?
BORING. Let me know when they start finding dismembered penises, preferably if they find two that DNA can prove came from the same man. Now THAT'S news!
