Canada May Have a Match in Case of Severed Feet

New left foot also in New Balance sneaker

Share

(Newser) – Another severed foot in an athletic shoe has washed up on a Canadian shore, the sixth in a bizarre series of feet found over the last 15 months, reports the Vancouver Sun. The left foot, encased in a New Balance running shoe, was found earlier this week on a riverbank in a Vancouver suburb. An earlier right foot in a New Balance sneaker was found earlier, but it's not known if the two are related. The local coroner is testing the latest find for DNA.
