Foot linked to disappeared man
From Times Wire Reports
One of five detached feet that have washed up on the shores of British Columbia over the last year has been linked to a depressed man who disappeared a year ago, police said.
Sgt. Pierre Lemaitre said DNA testing helped identify the man, whose name was not made public at the family’s request, he said.
The foot is the first to be identified by investigators, who have been working on the case since August, when two feet were found about 40 miles southwest of Vancouver on islands in the Strait of Georgia.
