VANCOUVER — Police are one step closer to solving the puzzle of the washed-up, severed feet.

Forensic investigators have now connected one of the five feet found at scattered locations along the B.C. coast to a specific individual, RCMP spokesman Corp. Pierre LeMaitre confirmed yesterday.

The officer told CTV News that the foot belonged to a depressed man who has been missing. Police have ruled out foul play, he added.

Meanwhile, in yet another bizarre development in the intriguing case, a coroner on the picturesque San Juan Islands in the Strait of Georgia disclosed that a footless body was discovered 16 months ago on the eastern shores Orcas Island, the most northern of the American island chain.

But despite the torrent of publicity over the five severed feet in recent weeks, coroner Randall Gaylord said that he did not advise British Columbia investigators about the discovery until Thursday.

“I certainly could have made an inquiry sooner. No question about that,” said Mr. Gaylord, “but I never knew enough about the missing feet, what size or type of shoe they were in, or whether they were men or women.

“And who do you contact, and what are you going to find out?”

A possible connection between the detached feet found in B.C. and the Orcas Island footless body came to him just recently when he was reading a newspaper about the case in his kitchen. “There was a report of shoes with no bodies. And I thought, gee, I have a body with no shoes. I wonder if they could be related,” Mr. Gaylord recounted.

just so everyone gets this - the san juan islands are part of america, but only a few miles from the border and the canadian gulf islands where the feet were found.

ever read the newspapers there, gaylord ? some americans think the world ends at their borders....unbelievable !

Sorry, missed this earlier. The old avatar was from an episode of The Prisoner in which No6 stands for election as the new No2. Of course, if you've never watched The Prisoner that'll mean nothing. But you should watch it. It's ace.

Oh yeh, and Swiper rules!

You must really have time on your hands (feet) to take the time to do that.
