BC's Severed Foot Mystery

koan · Post by **koan** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 9:30 pm

I've noticed an ongoing concern in BC news lately regarding the discovery of severed feet from the ocean.

Mr. Ebbesmeyer, however, said it is not unusual for body parts to show up anywhere along ocean shores. “I know on the shorelines of Florida and Texas, where I've studied, you get detached heads, feet, legs, everything showing up. Drifting human remains are not that unusual. It's just that nobody likes to talk about them.

What intrigued him initially about the so-called mystery was the fact that the first four discoveries were all right feet. “A string of rights. That's unusual, Mr. Ebbesmeyer said. “But now we're starting to see some matches.

excuse me, is it really that common to find severed body parts on the coastline?

None of the feet appear to have been purposefully severed but separated through natural processes, according to the RCMP, which has nonetheless launched an intense investigation into the case.

They have to be so obscure? "purposefully severed"? Why don't they offer us some options? A motor blade? A shark? A shaving accident?

Give me a bone here, people.

If losing a body part can happen naturally, I want to know about it.

exactly, my point as well!

and was it a shark?

motorboat?

crime scene investigators would know this.

or do they not consider these crimes?

but any pathologist would know what happened.

I think it's interesting that all the feet are in running shoes.

Perhaps after time soaking in the water because of the nature of those particular bone joints, how theyre connected, they are susceptible to separation.

If a body is caught under water but the leg is moving freely about in the current after time its probably inevitable that it would come loose. Or it could be that fish have nibbled away at connecting tissue.

Only one brand of running shoe has been mentioned so far. I wear a pair of the same brand. I'd better watch me feet then.

I don't want to get home and find my feet have disappeared en route.

Right !

Take your feet out of those shoes and get rid of them at once.

Then find a safe house and hole up until this whole thing blows over.

I wonder if the reason you're getting feet with shoes on them is because the shoes float, maybe you would get other body parts if when they died they had condoms on?

I'm thinking it's dead people from the old Pirates that went down during the NIKE wars, Obviously it seems the "New Balance" Pirates are losing.
