Update:

Sixth human foot found in Canada

Another human foot encased in a running shoe has been found on the shores of British Columbia in Canada, the second this week and the sixth within a year.

Like four of the others it was a right foot, a police official said.



The foot was found near Campbell River on Vancouver Island and appeared to have been severed, a witness said.



Police, who are not speculating on this, are trying to determine the origins of the feet and whether they are

any links between the discoveries.




The latest find was on Wednesday when a woman collecting rocks spotted a shoe-clad foot on a beach.



Another woman who manages a tourist campground at Campbell River, a fishing town on Vancouver Island, accompanied her to the spot.



"I could see two white bones sticking out of a black sneaker," Sandra Malone told the National Post newspaper.



"It was definitely severed, like it had been sawn off."



However, police are refusing to speculate on any possibility of foul play.



"In the first four cases, police have no evidence that the feet were severed. It is too early to say if this foot was severed," police spokeswoman Annie Linteau said.



On Monday, a left foot was found on another island off Vancouver.



Like the previous four, it is believed to have become detached at the ankle, in a process called disarticulation.



Forensic experts say it is not unusual for body parts to become separated after they have been in the water for a long time.



Running shoes help to preserve the remains and because the soles are buoyant, the feet are brought to the surface.





Gruesome finds

Last August, two human feet washed up on the beaches of small islands off Vancouver. Then in February a third single, right foot drifted ashore.



The fourth foot was discovered on a beach in suburban Vancouver in May.



Investigators are looking at the cases individually but are also trying to establish if there any links.

Forensics experts are taking DNA samples and police are also trying track down the manufacturers of the shoes and then the shops where they were sold.



But with so little concrete information, theories abound.



Organised crime, boating accidents - even the 2004 Asian tsunami - are all being offered as possible explanations.

A uniformed RCMP officer arrived and confirmed the report. A forensics' team of officers then arrived and stayed at the site for a couple hours.


Guests at the campground were curious as to what was going on at the beach, said Malone.


"There was a lot of shock," she said. "The first thing on everyone's mind was what we'd all heard on TV, with the other feet that have been found still in the running shoe."


Malone suspects this foot belonged to someone who was the victim foul play.


She spent most of the day answering a torrent of media calls and participating in media interviews, "so many I've lost count. I'm still trying to have lunch [at 3 p.m.]."


Linteau said the RCMP could not comment on whether this latest foot appeared severed, but added that it will be investigated in connection with the other feet that have been found.



While police are giving few clues as to where their investigation is going, a retired coroner and military diver believes there's no foul play involved in the severed feet.


"I just think the more people you have missing the more chances you have of finding naturally occurring denegration of the body," said Ian Buckingham of Victoria, a retired physician and coroner. He has also served as military diver with the Canadian, U.S. and Royal navies.


While more people are missing, there are also more people walking beaches than before, said Buckingham.


"Some [feet] have been discovered by pets who have good noses," said Buckingham. "I just think there are lots more people out there than there used to be."


The ankle joint can "easily" come apart from the leg during a body's disintegration at sea, said Buckingham.


A left male foot in a sneaker was discovered Monday floating in the water off Westham Island, at the mouth of the Fraser River. A woman's foot was found in May on Kirkland Island, also in the Fraser and a kilometre from Westham.


In February, a severed foot was found on Valdes Island east of Yellow Point and last August, two feet washed up on Gabriola and Jedediah Islands in the Strait of Georgia.

Latest floating 'foot' turns out to be a hoax

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/06/19/...eet/index.html

(CNN) -- What was believed to be the sixth human foot to wash up on the shores of British Columbia in recent months proved to be a fake, authorities said Thursday.

A "skeletonized animal paw" had been placed in a sock and athletic shoe that was packed with dried seaweed, the British Columbia Coroners Service announced.

The hoax was uncovered as the coroner's office began DNA and other forensic tests on the supposed foot in an attempt to identify the person to whom it belonged.

The coroners service, a forensic pathologist and an anthropologist all examined the shoe and remains before declaring it a fake.

"It is the position of BCCS that this type of hoax is reprehensible and very disrespectful to the families of missing persons," authorities said in a written statement. "It fuels inappropriate speculation and creates undue anxiety for families and communities while wasting valuable investigative time and resources that could be spent on the main investigations."

Police initially believed that a right human foot had been found in a man's size 10 black Adidas athletic shoe. The grisly discovery was made Wednesday. Video Watch woman talk about the mystery »

The find came amid conjecture over the source of five other severed human feet that have been found along the Canadian province's Pacific coast in the past 11 months. Authorities are continuing to investigate multiple possibilities on the origin of the feet, from foul play to the possibility that they belonged to victims of a plane crash.

"We are exploring the possibility that it could be people who may have drowned," said Annie Linteau, a spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "It could be missing fishermen. It could be the remains of people who may have died in a plane crash."

When asked about the suspicion of foul play, Linteau noted that the first four feet contained no tool marks and were therefore deemed not to have been severed.

A woman walking on the beach reported the sixth find, said Sgt. Mike Tresoor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the town of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Sandra Malone, manager of the Thunderbird RV Park and Campground on the Tyee Spit, said a woman came in about 10:30 a.m. and asked her to call police, saying she had found the shoe with the foot inside it.

While waiting for police, Malone said, she walked to the beach with the woman and saw it for herself.

"The leg bones were coming out of the running shoe about 3 to 4 inches," she said. "There were no tissues or anything attached."

She said seaweed was wrapped around the top of the running shoe, making it hard to tell whether any tissue was inside the shoe. But she said the foot appeared to have been deliberately severed, as the bones "had been cut clean across."

Another foot -- a left foot still in a shoe -- was found Monday on the shore of Westham Island, south of Vancouver. Police said it was taken to a coroner for DNA testing.

The Vancouver Sun newspaper said the first four feet found were all right feet, making the foot found Monday the only left foot.

Experts told The Sun there could be explanations that did not suggest foul play.

Ian Buckingham, a retired coroner, told the newspaper the ankle joint can come apart easily if a body is decomposing at sea.

Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an expert on ocean currents, told The Sun a foot wearing a buoyant athletic shoe could float as far as 1,000 miles.

Although the gruesome finds have drawn international attention, police said it may take some time to unravel the mystery.

"We suffer from the 'CSI' effect: People think this can happen very quickly," Brooks said. "It could take weeks or months. And even if we get a DNA sample, we need a sample to match it with."

The mystery has caused a stir and led to many rumors, locals say. One newspaper has began investigating a rash of young men who have gone missing in the area.

Some have wondered whether the feet could belong to five men who were in a plane that crashed three years ago in the waterway where the feet were found.

Some of those men's relatives were at the Campbell River site on Wednesday.

"It's a constant reminder every time, from the time the first foot washed up," said Kirsten Stevens, whose husband, Dave, died in the crash. Although her husband's body was located, Stevens said, the other men's relatives never recovered their loved ones' remains.

"It reopens the wound every single time," she said.
