Sixth severed foot found in British Columbia

Yet another severed foot in a shoe has been found in British Columbia. For BB readers who may have lost count, this is the sixth foot that has turned up in the region in 14 months. As my brother Mark says, it may be evidence of "the ultimate foot fetish." Not sure about that, but something is definitely afoot. From CNN: The shoe -- a left New Balance running shoe -- was found about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday on the south arm of the Fraser River by a Richmond, British Columbia, couple, police said... Four of the five feet discovered between August 2007 and June 2008 were in running shoes made between 2003 and 2004, and the other was made in 1999, according to police. Royal Canadian Mounted Police have released photos of the shoes, hoping someone can help identify the remains. Apparent 6th severed foot found in British Columbia Previously on BB: ?
