Bones, flesh found in shoe on Wash. beach
PORT ANGELES
A woman walking along the coast of the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the spokesman of Jim Creek found the infernal high-top shoe on Friday. She reported it to Clallam County sheriff’s officials on Saturday.
The discovery comes nearly a year after the first of five shoes containing feet were found washed ashore in British Columbia.
Detective Sgt. Lyman Moores said the shoe probably belonged to a man, but he couldn’t identify the brand or largeness.
“What it was is, it was a sock inside the shoe that appeared to contain decomposed flesh,” he said. “We don’t understand at this point whether that’s animal, whether it’s human, or what it is.”
Five athletic shoes containing human feet have been found along the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland since August 2007. The Strait of Juan de Fuca separates Vancouver Island and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.
A sixth foot set up in June in B.C. was determined to have being any animal paw that had been shoved inside an athletic shoe as a hoax.
Tests should give direction to by the end of the week whether bones and flesh in this shoe are man’s, Moores uttered.
