Not for the squeamish, and just in time for spooky Halloween comes a forensic rattlesnake: Severed feet in shoes keep popping up in Washington State and British Columbia, seven now.
Over the course of about a year, seven severed feet washed ashore around British Columbia. Investigators use the latest forensic science to solve this macabre mystery.
So far, seven human feet in sneakers washed ashore in British Columbia and Washington State. Theories of serial killers, plane crashes, and tsunami victims became tabloid fodder.
With all the twists and turns of a crime-scene thriller, Nat Geo's Explorer sets out to solve this foot mystery.
The CBC has previously reported that when a fifth human foot was discovered partially submerged in the water near Westham Island in Ladner, B.C., Delta police said, "As far as it being linked to other partial remains found, we haven't dismissed that. We're considering all possibilities."
The Canadian press has reported that four right feet, each wearing a sock and sneaker, have been discovered in the province since last August. A woman's right foot was found on the uninhabited Kirkland Island in the Fraser River in May, just a few kilometres from Westham Island where Delta police found the fifth foot. Three other men's right feet washed up in the Gulf Islands between Vancouver and Vancouver Island. In total, as of this broadcast, seven feet have been recovered.
Using the latest advances in forensic science, researchers and investigators explore the possibilities that could help solve the mystery of the seven feet that have washed ashore around British Columbia.
