Police 'stumped' by grisly mystery
A sixth human foot, wearing an Adidas training shoe, bobbed ashore near Vancouver yesterday in a grisly mystery that has gripped Canada.
The discovery of five right feet and one left foot has spawned wildly contrasting theories about their origin, ranging from murders by biker gangs to the floating remains of Asian tsunami victims.
The first foot was found last August by a girl playing on a remote beach on Jedidah Island, who picked up the size 12 white training shoes and undid the laces to check inside.
Six days later, a woman hiking on nearby Gabriola Island came upon another size 12 training shoe — also a right foot. Two more right feet were found on February 8 on Valdes Island and on May 22 on Kirkland Island.
The first left foot was recovered on Monday on nearby Westham Island when two people out walking their dog pulled a shoe from the water.
The sixth foot was found on a beach in Vancouver Island inside a size 10 black Adidas shoe yesterday morning.
Six feet and plenty of questions
As yet forensic pathologists have been unable to positively identify any of the remains and while the recently discovered sixth "foot" turned out to be an animal paw stuffed into a sneaker, the mystery continues to deepen.
