Long-time readers of TYWKIWDBI know that this blog has a separate category for severed feet posts. This was stimulated by an "epidemic" of severed feet washing ashore in the Washington/Puget Sound area about five years ago. Now another foot has appeared in the same area:
The discovery of a human foot in a running shoe on the Seattle waterfront this week is at least the 15th such appendage found along the Pacific Northwest coastline since 2007.
The human foot in a white New Balance tennis shoe was found Tuesday morning on the shore at Centennial Park, just north of downtown, by volunteers cleaning the park, Port of Seattle spokesman Peter McGraw told NBC News. The foot was turned over to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office for further investigation.The King County Medical Examiner’s Office on Wednesday released a photo of the shoe – a New Balance athletic sneaker, men’s size 10-1/2, white with blue trim – in hopes the public could help identify its wearer. It said the foot also was clad in a black, cotton Hanes brand sock.
More details at the link. If the embedded photo looks like your shoe, check your feet. If one of them is missing, please contact Seattle authorities.
I suspect the photo has been released in case the family of a missing person recognises it as the style that their loved one used to wear.
