Ninth foot washes up on Pacific coast
Globe and Mail ^ | 8/27/2010 | Ian Baily

The ninth human foot to wash up in the Pacific Northwest since 2007 was found Friday morning on an island about 50 kilometres south of Seattle, say police

A tourist strolling along a beach found the foot Friday on the east side of Whidbey Island, one of nine islands located in Island County about 48 kilometres north of Seattle, according to Island County Detective Ed Wallace.

“Just a foot – no shoe; no sock,” Det. Wallace told The Globe and Mail

Det. Wallace said the latest foot is, based on its size, either from a juvenile or a female, and has likely been in the water for less than two months. He said it does not appear to have been severed.

Police have no idea yet what to make of the discovery. “We’re just in the infancy of this,” he said.

That’s what I say.... WTF???

If there is a FOOT and no “rest of the body” it damn well IS Severed.

Does not appear to be severed...... somebody tickled it off the ankle?

Reminds me of Dr. White, MIB: ‘You can be sure that the parts are whole, wherever they are, uh, intact..’

Any plane crashes in the area?

I read the feet are often separated when the person is in a plane crash.

My dictionary says “cutting, slicing” or “removed by force”.

The only other option is that decomposition caused it to fall off.

If the authorities search for a juvenile or a female missing one foot would that be profiling?

I collected stuff along beaches around there as a kid. I found a Japanese float once. Stuff floats in from across the ocean. I also so got locked in a outhouse on the beach, but that is a story for another thread.

Water does some horrible damage to the body of a drowned body. Try matching DNA with missing persons

Probably some parts from the dead bodies the Chinese immigrants through over the side from the ship with like 500 people on it last week trying to get to Canada.

Seems that it is always a foot, and the second foot of the pair is never found. Coincidence, I think not. A nut job killer with a strange sense of humor comes to mind. ;-)
