Q:
A: One of the things about it that can give you some relief is that the feet were not severed by any humans. The bones end were clean and smooth, suggesting that they were not cut off by someone, but rather slowly eroded off. It could theoretically be from anyone in the world who either fell into the ocean and drowned, or from an Indonesian killer (for example) who threw the body into the ocean in Indonesia and the body sank to the bottom, took its time in decaying to the point to where the foot detached from the rest of the body and then floated up here. The reason why we're seeing feet is because the shoe, which is fastened to the foot, is buoyant. So it's the only body part that is going to float away. The rest of the body is going to stay put on the ocean bottom. Also the currents flow straight into the Straight of Georgia from the VAST Pacific Ocean. The area of southern Vancouver Island and the gulf islands are rather populated compared to most of the areas of the west coast in North America (aside from southern california). So they're going to be found much quicker here too. With thousands of missing peoples reports in Canada alone, not to mention the world, someone was bound to be thrown or have fallen overboard somewhere. It even could have been a drunk non-swimming person going to take a pee at the end off a pier somewhere, falling in and drowning to no ones knowledge - who knows. The possibilities are endless. Also it's been thought that they could be from the victims of a plane crash in the area, although apparently the DNA from the feet do not match the DNA of the plane victims.
