No foul play suspected as fourth disembodied foot washes up in B.C.

VANCOUVER — There is no indication foul play is involved in four disembodied feet that have washed up on islands off the southwest coast of British Columbia, RCMP Constable Annie Linteau said Friday.

“We now have no information to suggest this latest … foot was forcibly removed,” she said... (continue...)


This gal wrote about the guy below who played dead as the bear was "eating his brains." She must be having a blast reporting this stuff the last week or so.

The answers from the police are precious, too. "Nope, no foul play here. Severed feet wash up all the time." I know there's a lot more LSD and weed out in BC, but how many drugs to you have to take before something that makes national news in the rest of the country seems fairly normal in your community? That's four right feet wearing sneakers-- without their owners. Personally, I've very attached to my feet.

This is happening in a secluded and small area-- and clearly, it doesn't take a detective to know that something is not adding up. But apparently BC police has detectives figuring it out. They've come up with the no violence/no foul play theory.

The spokeswoman doesn't mind adding the qualifier that she cannot give any other details about the type of sneakers or the sex of the others because it could compromise the investigation. What are they investigating that they can't tell the public if there is no foul play?

According to the detective-murder-mystery television programs I've wasted so many hours watching.... the no-violence theory means "I really don't want to continue investigating this one, Erv. Can't you put me on a new case?"

Hahaha! I covered one of these stories (I think the second or third foot?) when I was at CBC in the winter. Strangely though, I don't think it's foul play either. The ocean here is insane and it could be washing from anywhere (Seattle, Alaska??). And the first two were two male feet, both left (I think?). So no creepy pig farmer factor. Thank god. A little gross, though, eh?

They were saying maybe from an accident earlier on when they didn't find the bodies. I'm still skeptical. Even if they did come from somewhere else, which is quite likely, that foot has a body somewhere. The rhetoric being used by the police suggests they want to bury the story. It might be a perfect situation to pass the buck off to Seattle and get some good press instead of creeping people out.
