A W-5 mystery, "Left" many questioning about "4 Right feet" washing up inside their sneakers on our lower mainland shores, one at a time spanning over a year. So far, no left feet have washed up.

My 5 W's are as follows:

Who owns these Four Right feet?
What is the cause of only finding just a Right Foot phenomena?
Where did these Four Right Feet come from?
When and If these Four Right Feet separate from their owners, as marine biologists stated the foot in a sneaker is the last to decay.
Why only Right Feet?, how come no left feet?
How will we determine this is a crime and not a coincidence?

Funny Police have refused to state if this is a crime and kept Mum on the following:

Ethnic origin of these feet, as it may explain if these feet are all the same ethnicity.
DNA would also explain if these four "Right feet" are from the same ethnicity, family and tell us their age.
Toxicology could explain the presence of drugs in the system and other clues.
Sneakers would tell us whether they are High End or Walmart quality.
Forensics may tell us how long these feet have been in the water.

I'll tell you, if this is a coincidence as it is suggested and not a well laid out "Symbolic Rite of Crime", then we must be brain dead to believe it!

I think it is time for Police to put their "Best Foot Forward" and "Come Clean" what they know!

No Mystery There, Time for Police to "Fess Up!"

Latest washed-up foot likely a woman's, says finderJudith Lavoie, Canwest News Service; Victoria Times ColonistPublished: Monday, May 26, 2008
The severed right foot found near Vancouver last week almost certainly belonged to a woman, says the man who found it.

It is also extremely unlikely that it has anything to do with the other three right feet that have washed ashore on Gulf Islands in the past nine months, said Mike Ladislaus, caretaker of Kirkland and Gunn islands in the south arm of the Fraser River.

Ladislaus's nine-year-old Labrador-retriever Sophie found the foot Thursday on the Kirkland shoreline. He said the size and style of the running shoe made him believe it belonged to a woman.
