ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. -- A man is suing a former St. Lucie County firefighter who admitted to stealing his severed foot.
Cindy Economou was sentenced to six months probation for taking Karl Lambert's foot after a car crash along Interstate 95.
Investigators said Economou took the body part home and used it to train cadaver dogs. She was suspended and later resigned.
Floriduh!

Question . could the leg have been reattached ???

If the foot was crushed then reattachment is iffy, if a clean sever, then there is a good chance this man could still have his foot.

On the practical side, anyone know how hard it is to get human remains to train Cadaver dogs.??  How does one train a dog for police work in that field without having access to human remains.?

Not easy to think about this but these dog are necessary to find body's that have died and return them to their loved ones for a proper funeral and closure.

If I were to loose an arm and a leg in accident , then what, the limbs will be incinerated as toxic waste.    The idea that my limbs may be put to good use  to help people to  find lost ones and close a case that is far worse then mine would give me peace and not to live my life wondering why God let this happen to me.

I'm glad he's putting his foot down.  Theft is unacceptable.

That firefighter should be careful where she treads.  She'll be lucky to keep her job.

It was pretty good, I'll admit.  And I thought it was funny.  But, there are some pros here, and I am concerned they might not feel that one in their sole.

Not to mention there is trouble a foot.

He was lucky she stole his foot and not his heart.

Someone has difficulty toeing the line.   :whistling:

If one or more of his toes was missing, he'd have to had called a toe truck, which would increase the cost of the lawsuit. That would nail the case for him.

But I digress.......  :whistling:

I wonder if the man who lost his foot was really named Paul Bunyon?  His name was changed to protect him from corny jokes.
