This year, 6 feet have washed up along the shores of Canada, near Vancouver, all within a mile of each other. All were encased in running shoes (which is how experts believe they were able to float to shore, rather than sink. Running shoes are buoyant). All are being investigated and treated as a criminal investigation.
One foot, however, is being investigated a little differently.
The 6th foot found was not, in fact, human.
Some clever prankster went through the trouble of making some animal bones resemble the remains of a human foot and positioned it just right inside of a running shoe. However, investigators weren't fooled for long.
The prankster, if found, will face criminal charges. Severed feet washing ashore is serious business, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
Also, it really is a little disturbing that someone would actually take the time to develop an authentic-looking, severed, human foot. Complete with running shoe. While some sick and twisted person might find the situation mildly amusing, there's nothing funny about fake feet. Nothing.
As for the 5 legitimate human feet--well, they still have authorities a little baffled. Are the feet related to each other? Was foul play involved? Who do the feet belong to?
Investigators are seeking the answers to all these questions and more.
Police Official Sharlene Brooks says the investigation could take quite some time. "This is not CSI," she says, referencing a popular Crime Scene Investigation television drama.
And she's right. Answers to questions don't magically appear out of nowhere in real life, regardless of what happens in a world where investigators have 1 hour (including commercial breaks) to solve a complex crime with virtually no evidence.
If only they did, though. Then the case of the mysterious severed feet could be closed once and for all.

It caught me as funny (the line not the fake foot)
That actually sounds pretty horrible (mildly to caliente'-ly sadistic) that someone had the time and would put in the effort to make a human foot out of animals. Just shows you how sick people can get.

That is weird....were the feet cut off post mortem? I'm wondering if maybe the whole thing is sort of a hoax....
