Shoe Containing Human Foot Found on Wash. Beach

PORT ANGELES, Wash. —  An athletic shoe containing a human foot was found on a Washington state beach, and authorities are investigating whether it may be linked to a series of human feet found in shoes along the coast of British Columbia.

Undersheriff Ron Peregrin said Monday that the King County medical examiner determined the foot was human and detached from its body naturally after floating in the water.

Peregrin said the foot will be sent for a forensic investigation, including DNA testing to see if it matches feet found washed ashore in British Columbia. Results are expected to take six to eight weeks.

Authorities said a woman told the Clallam County sheriff's office on Saturday that she found the black, high-top shoe along the beach on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about 30 miles west of Port Angeles.

Five athletic shoes containing human feet have been found along the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland since August 2007. The Strait of Juan de Fuca separates the Canadian island and Washington's Olympic Peninsula.

the sick part is the feet are so decomposed that the police have a hard time identifying if its animal or human .. which makes ya wonder, why do the police think animals are wearing sneakers?  :p

As an Eastern Long Island guy, it is not unusual for, in cooler water, the underwater critters to eat everything except the feet contained in shoes. Then those shoes , pretty buoyant, are carried by the tides to the shore.

All that was found of an aquaintance was his artificial hip joint a year or more after he crashed his airplane into the ocean.
