O.T. I think we got another one!

VANCOUVER, B.C. - Police said Thursday another severed human foot has been found in British Columbia - the fourth one to be found over the past year near islands in the Strait of Georgia.

The latest foot was found on Kirkland Island near the mouth of the Fraser River in Richmond, just south of Vancouver, B.C.

Like the other three found before it, this severed foot was found inside a shoe. A passer-by made the gruesome discovery Thursday while out walking.

The previous three discoveries were all right feet. It is unclear whether the latest find is a right or left foot.

Police don't know if there are any links between them. Speculation in the region is rife, including that the feet were from slaying victims or they were the remains from drownings. Police haven't reached any conclusions.

Police have made no arrests in any of the cases, although at least one theory holds that there may be a connection to organized crime.

"It is very unusual," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Annie Linteau said earlier of the grim discoveries.

Linteau said two of the feet were size 12, but the size of the third was not released.

The first right foot was found by beachcombers on Jedidiah Island in August.

A few days later, a foot was found inside a man's Reebok sneaker on Gabriola Island. The third was found on the east side of Valdez Island on Feb 8. Only the shoe type for the second foot was announced.

"We're looking into all our missing person files," Linteau said. "We're certainly inviting anyone who may have information about these right feet to give us a call."

She said the coroner's office was doing DNA testing. British Columbia's corner's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Curtis Ebbesmeyer, a former professor of oceanography at the University of Washington who studies floating objects, said the feet could have drifted as far as 1,000 miles.

He speculated the feet floated away in the buoyant shoes after breaking from decomposing bodies, possibly of people who drowned in boating accidents. Other said they could be from four men whose bodies weren't recovered after their small plane crashed in the area about a year ago.

Ebbesmeyer said it might not be a coincidence the feet were found in the same general area.

"Left foot wear and right foot wear often tend to wash up at different times at different places because they float differently," he said. "There are beaches that collect mostly rights and other beaches that collect mostly lefts. The winds of the currents sort out left and right foot wear."

Sheila Malcolmson, a Gabriola Island government official, said the feet are the talk of the islands.

"We are all getting e-mails and messages from friends far away, saying, 'What's going on up there?"' Malcolmson said. "We're all walking around carefully."

Well at least you have good health care in Canada if a foot needs to be reattached!

see in Canada the police will put an undercover cop in the same or next cell and literally befriend the prisoner, this is not an improper way of gathering statements or confessions, first rule in Canadian jails is "shut up" lol

Robert William "Willie" Pickton (born October 24, 1949)[1] of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia is a Canadian pig farmer[2] and serial killer convicted of the second-degree murders of six women.[3][4] He is also charged in the deaths of an additional twenty women,[5] many of them prostitutes and drug users from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. As of December 11, 2007 he has been sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 25 years – the longest sentence available under Canadian law.[6]

During the trial's first day, January 22, 2007, the Crown stated he confessed to forty-nine murders to an undercover police officer posing as a cell mate. The Crown reported that Pickton told the officer that he wanted to kill another woman to make it an even 50, and that he was caught because he was "sloppy".[7]
