Mystery deepens as fifth human foot washes up. Seems there has been an abundance of severed feet, all unclaimed.

A fifth human foot in a year has washed ashore off the coast of British Columbia, and this time it’s a left one.

Police said two people out for a walk spotted the left foot floating in water off Westham Island on Monday morning.

Delta Police Constable Sharlene Brooks said officials are working with the B.C. Coroner’s office to see if this foot is linked to any other partial remains recovered in the province.

Westham Island is at the mouth of the Fraser River, about 15 miles south of Vancouver.

“A passerby noticed a shoe floating in the water, pulled it in and notified police,” Brooks said. “We’re treating it as a criminal investigation.”

While the similarities to the other found feet is strong, she said there’s no indication this foot is related to the other cases.

“We’re certainly not discounting the possibility that this may be linked to the other recovered feet, but it’s just too premature and very speculative for us to even entertain that right now,” she said.

The last foot was found May 22 on Kirkland Island in the Fraser River, about one mile away from Monday’s discovery.

The first in the series was found nearly a year ago on Jedidiah Island in the Strait of Georgia. Within days, another right foot was found inside a man’s Reebok sneaker on nearby Gabriola Island. The third was found in the same area, on the east side of Valdez Island in early February.

The origin on any of the remains is still unknown. They also said something along the lines that they are not CSI and it may take some time to find the owners.

POLICE broke into a flat to check who lived there 42 years after its owner was reported missing - and found the mummified remains of the woman sitting in front of her TV.

Croatian police say Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cuppa and sat down to watch her black-and-white television before she died.

Officers believe that would have been in 1966, when she was last seen by neighbours. They said one day she seemed to have just disappeared and they thought she had moved to the capital Zagreb.

But they found her remains in the tiny 13sq m flat after breaking in with bailiffs.

A police spokesman said: “So far we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in.”

Some people are just too stupid to be criminals - Stupidity the redneck way - Tennessee. A man apparantly took that slogan “to protect and serve” to the extreme as he emptied his pockets in order to pass through a metal detector. He took out his weed and rolling papers from his pockets and placed them into the Sheriff’s bowl. Protect his weed they did, by confiscating it. The man may now have another court date. This may be a good thing since this man really can not afford to lose any more braincells.
Now if you are already going to court, meaning you did something stupid and got caught.. maybe, just maybe you should refrain from taking your dope to court with you, much less, handing the dope to the cop for safe keeping while going to your court appearance for your prior stupidity.

Jennifer Sharpe, a 15-year-old from Dearborn, sold 17,328 boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year, which shatters her troop’s old record and is believed to be a national record, though Girl Scouts of the USA doesn’t track individual sales.

“It’s always been one of those goals I wanted to accomplish,” Sharpe said Wednesday.
