For the fourth time in less than a year, a right human foot has been found off one of four different islands in the Strait of Georgia in British Columbia.
Police said Friday that they do not know if there are any links among the feet. Speculation in the region is rife, including that the feet were from slaying victims or they were the remains from a plane crash. Police have not reached any conclusions.
Police said a passer-by found a human foot in a shoe on Kirkland Island in the South Arm of the Fraser River on Thursday.
“It’s certainly a mystery we intend on solving,” Police Constable Annie Linteau said. “It’s certainly very unusual.”
Last August, a foot was found inside a man’s Reebok sneaker on nearby Gabriola Island, just a few days after another foot was discovered by beachcombers on Jedidiah Island.
The remains of a fourth right foot were found on the east side of Valdez Island on Feb 8.
There is no evidence to suggest the foot – or any or the previous three- was forcibly removed, Linteau said.
“All four were wearing socks and were in a running shoe,” Linteau said.
Two of the feet are size 12. Police have not released the size of the others.
