The remains of a human foot still encased in a shoe was found washed ashore near Tacoma about a week ago, raising to 10 the tally of feet found on Pacific Northwest beaches since 2007.Further details at the Vancouver Sun.
On Dec. 5, a man walking along the shore spotted the foot and called police. The foot has not been identified yet, but police believe it belonged to a juvenile or small adult.
"Our best guess someone in their mid-to-late teens," Tacoma Police spokesman Mark Fulghum said. The shoe, a boys' size 6 "Ozark Trail" hiking boot, was sold in Walmart Stores in 2004 and 2005.

ReplyDeleteA continuing mystery indeed. You'd think somebody would have an explanation. Wonder why the feet are found with the shoes still on. If they are ripped, cut or biten off. Wonder if there's any survivors out there. Also have a good Christmas/New Years Minnesotastan. Gonna catch the Lunar Eclipse and winter solstice sunrise tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeleteThe thought has just struck me that these could be the remains of shark attacks. But that number of unreported shark attacks?
