The perps will never figure it from this and the other articles detailing the police investigations.

Sounds like ‘The Wicker Man’......................
These killers have sick soles.
But they’re certainly leaving their footprint in life.
They are ARCH criminals.
But investigators can’t shoe the whole away like it’s not really happening.
Either way, something smells bad about the whole thing.
There is a simple explanation for this.
1. The Puget Sound area is the end of the line for a current train out of the Pacific. All kinds of junk washes up there.
2. The synthetic material of athletic shoes is impervious to salt water and wave action, as well as sea scavengers. It also is buoyant.
The feet belong to unfortunate crewmen who have washed overboard from vessels in the Pacific freight lanes. Sharks and crabs devoured the rest of the bodies but could not reach the feet. Once the bones become disjointed by scavengers and/or wave action, the shoes float in the current and wash up in the Puget Sound area (along with containers, scrap lumber, derelict boats and every other kind of debris).
And now another episode of
Dr. Jeckle, Podiatrist.
As long as they’re getting traction, and running down the heels responsible, it’s good. They’ve probably got their best gumshoes on the case, wearing out a lot of shoe leather.
and The Bad Case of Foot in Mouth Disease..................
They’ve gotta lot of sole.................
Sarge: You found what in 19 feet of water?
Patrolman: No Sarge. We found 19 feet in the water.
So why the timeline here? 2011 to present? Nikes didn’t exist on sailors feet pre 2011? What does Mr. Ockham say about it?
I find it a bit hard to believe that such a crazy culture existed in North America into the 19th century and they're virtually unheard of. I'd think it would have been in all the dime pulp magazines of the day and the legend carried over 'til now.
I bet the culprit is a real heel.
The perps will never figure it from this and the other articles detailing the police investigations.
“...there were sever instances...”
I see what you did there.
That's a logical explanation - and I agree the most likely - but I wonder why the feet washing up only occurred starting in 2007. There were athletic shoes long before that. Maybe a change in currents?
heap big stew for crab foot soup..ask liz
lol
ROFL
This thread was just BEGGING for these kinds of replies :)
“The feet belong to unfortunate crewmen who have washed overboard from vessels in the Pacific freight lanes.”
Sounds plausible but it doesn’t actually add up. You see, they have managed to identify a good number of the owners of said feet, and they were all locals from around the sound, not seamen on oceangoing vessels. I believe many were joggers who disappeared, if I remember correctly.
Kind of makes sense, since they are finding feet in athletic shoes, which are more associated with joggers than crewmen on boats.
