Another day, another one found

This is since that last post. Gina Marie put a link to an article in her comment on the last post, and here's another link to info about the sixth foot which was found today.

I'll actually find other stuff to post about, but for now, I'm just following up on earlier posts about this topic.

It may be there's been a serial killer or some other multiple murder who weights down the bodies and throws them in the ocean. Natural processes mean that the feet, protected by buoyant running shoes, would eventually come to the surface and wash ashore.

Still very creepy. The fact that there has been no success in identifying any of the victims makes me wonder if it is something to do with a human smuggling operation gone awry. We had problems about ten years ago with ships coming from China with illegal immigrants stowed away--people who'd paid their life savings to organized crime groups to get them here, which was seen by many as a way to more easily get into the U.S.

9/11 changed that with increased border security, to some extent.

This is getting to the point it's going to make people think twice about coming here for a fishing/seaside holiday.

Hmmm. But why are only feet being found? Why not hands? Why only one foot? Too weird. Too creepy.

Here's an update- appears that this latest one is a hoax.

This has been in our newspapers and they've been talking about it on the radio almost every day.
