There is definitely something strange afoot, I’ll tell you...
“the remains of what appear to be a human foot and leg bones in a running shoe”
That’s exactly why I stopped running.
The RCMP should immediately investigate IHOP.
Do a search of the RCMP spokesperson Annie Linteau. Watch one of her news conferences and you’ll understand why the mystery continues. She’s the definition of vapid and that does not make one confident the investigators are any better.
Anybody seen my shoe?
I doubt this story will grow legs.
Running shoes float. Corpses (after a period of time) sink. Little sea creatures and decomposition eventually detach the extremities from the body, but the shoe protects the foot itself. The shoe floats to the surface with the foot inside and drifts around until it lands somewhere.
You could probably look at the tides and currents in the area and figure out where they are coming from. Could be boaters or deckhands on commercial vessels, or folks falling in from bridges or shores, or suicides. Locals would be reported missing, but not necessarily people from commercial vessels.
I’m with the commentor who says they are the remains of disposed victims of a local drug gang war. Bodies are weighted down and tossed in the drink. The corpses rot, are eaten by fish and come apart. Sneakers float. Homies from the Hood wear sneakers. Your mystery is solved.
Thank you, that will be $10.00 please...
Canadians don’t use feet anyway.
They’re on the metric system.
They may call it a foot, but was it really 12 inches?
“And did those feet in ancient time, walk upon England’s mountains green?...”
No, no mystery, just no one is talking ... this is mob crap
There is a question of whether it is Chinese or Russian ..
My guess is Chinese but waiting for the ethnicity of one of these victims to tell me which. If the victim is Southeast Asian, 90% chance it is Chinese ..... anything else it is likely Russian.
Lots of the Chinese Mob fled Hong Kong when the Chinese took over because they thought the risk was high that their leaders and assets could be seized.
On the Russian side, lots of them have infiltrated off Russian Ships out of Vlad .... what is a absolute travesty though is these illegals are in section 8 housing in Washington and Oregon in many cases.
Don’t confuse the Long term Russians in these states though, these guys just use them to hide among. The long term Russians are very strict orthodox, they don’t have tattoos. that is how you tell them apart.
Sounds like detectives have a lot of footwork to do.
This unfolding story is kind of morbidly fascinating, at least to me. What the heck are we dealing with here? Serial killer? Some strange freak accidents that keep occurring without anyone noticing? Or is it really.... the “Bermuda Triangle” of feet?
Hmm... maybe I could write a good sci-fi story on the basis of this.
Serial killer with a sense of humor?
Consider the possibility that it’s but one part of a promotional campaign for a new beer celebrating 12 Foot Davis, Canadian folk hero.
Or not.
Sounds like a job for the B. A. U.
The person responsible for that headline should, at a minimum, get a citation from the pun police. This cannot stand.
it’s just people jumping off a bridge and when the body rots or is eaten ,the sneakers float away. There solved.
