Serial Killer Disposing of Human Remains in British Columbia's Fraser River?

Is there another serial killer disposing of bodies in British Columbia’s Fraser River? This is the question that has been occupying the mind of B.C.’s Delta Police and the B.C. Coroners Service since Monday.

Severed human feet have been appearing on the beaches of the Gulf Islands along B.C.’s coastline in the last few months, with five being found since last year in August.

Monday a human left foot was found on Westham Island in Ladner, the fifth disarticulated foot discovered, the last one was found just up river last month.

Delta Police and the B.C. Coroners Services are currently trying to establish the identity of the remains and determine whether they can be linked to the other four recovered feet, but they say it’s too early in their investigation to verify whether the feet are connected somehow.

Officials say that during this time of year it’s not usual to find human remains washed up on beaches in the area, that the unique part is that these five cases are all human feet. Police officials say it will be sometime before police will be able to identity the remains and match it to known missing persons or any of the four previously found feet.

Oceanographers working the case have stated that the latest discovery points to their idea that the feet came down the Fraser River, then out into the gulf steam. The pattern they say is one where they were all washed down the river and then dispersed to the areas where they were found.

Police around the world have taken note of this case for its uniqueness, working with local authorities to try to understand the situation better. Statistically police compare the finding of five human feet with no corresponding body parts to drawing a straight flush five times in a row.

The rate at which body parts are appearing on B.C.’s beaches lately makes me want to stay away from the water, and I’m sure I’m not alone in my concerns, as all British Columbians will be.

There must be a killer disposing of bodies somewhere in B.C., there could be other reasons, but it’s unlikely and I sure can’t think of any reason for human body parts to be washing up on B.C.’s beaches, other than the work of some sick individual or individuals. We have our share of possible guilty parties who would be more then willing to carry out such sick and nefarious work.

It maybe that the killers didn’t want these body parts to appear and are currently worried about police following a trail that might lead them right to the guilty party.

I for one think the police will be hard pressed to solve the mystery of the washed up feet on B.C.’s beaches, especially if they stop appearing. If the killers are concerned about the body parts leading police back to them, they will probably find another way to dispose of the bodies. I guess well know, if and when they do or don’t find anymore human feet.
