Looks as if they found another foot
CNN is reporting that another foot has been found in British Columbia, bringing the total to six over the past 15 months. This one is in a New Balance running shoe, just like a foot found on May 22. Do they match?
The mystery of where these feet are coming from remains unsolved. Some speculate that they come from people who died in an ocean plane crash; the feet are gradually breaking free from the bodies as they decompose, and the shoes are buoyant enough to carry them to the surface. So far, forensic examiners have not found any signs that the feet were cut or pried loose, leaving decomposition as the most likely explanation.
No plane has been reported missing in the area, however.
Earlier this year, a bogus foot was discovered. Someone had shoved a rotting animal paw into a shoe and left it to be found.
