Human foot found in Ohio river

[n2doc]

Associated Press
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio – Police say two fishermen have recovered a human foot along a bank of the Great Miami River in southwest Ohio.

Middletown police Lt. Scott Reeve said two fishermen were putting out lines on the river’s east bank Monday just north of the Germantown Road Bridge when they found the foot next to a pile of debris.

The Middletown Journal reports that authorities spent more than six hours Monday searching the river for additional body parts. They were resuming those efforts Tuesday.

Deputies from the Butler County Sheriff’s Office were searching the river by boat. Buckeye Search and Rescue dogs were looking along the river.

1. Did they ever figure out who belonged to all the feet found in the Pac NW

There was a rash of feet turning up in the Puget Sound area a while back.

4. I haven't heard anything about that in ages. Really disturbing.

5. They did, and they found the common element.

Running shoes were protecting the feet from the elements. Once free of the body, they then floated because of the running shoes.

Just a grisly side effect of quality footwear.

2. It didn't have a running shoe on the foot did it? This was happening around BC somewhere,

they found something like 6 or 7 over the course of a year. They all had running shoes on them.

7. Yes, and they determined they had committed

suicide by jumping off a bridge and their New Balance running shoes "protected" the feet from decay.

3. Damn! I was wondering where I left that thing!

I've been hopping around on one foot for a week.
