VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, POLICE ARE BAFFLED by the right foot.  Or more precisely, the right feet.

Last August a severed right foot, shod in a sneaker-style shoe, washed ashore on a nearby island.  But it’s not unusual for the occasional body part to wash ashore on an ocean coast.

Then a week later, a second foot was found on a trail in a neighboring island.  This one, too, was “wearing” a sneaker.  Quite a coincidence, but still nothing to get excited about.  Although the police did open investigations on both cases to see if they matched any missing persons reports.

Just over a week ago, on Feb. 8, a third foot was found on the shore.  Yep, it had a sneaker on it.

Now the RCMP is taking a stronger interest in the case.  All of them were right feet.  All of them were shod in sneakers.  And …. all of them are size 12.

Three right feet have been discovered over the last six months in the Gulf Islands. The latest was at Valdes Island. The two other right feet were found at Gabriola Island and Jedidiah Island.   (Times Colonist)
