6th foot is a hoax…
VANCOUVER — A prankster is responsible for a sixth foot that washed on British Columbia shores, a hoax that raised fears among the families of missing persons and prompted the RCMP to launch a separate investigation.
The B.C. Coroner’s Service said Thursday and RCMP confirmed that the foot found on a Vancouver Island beach the day before was not human, but in fact a skeletonised animal paw stuffed inside a sock and a running shoe.
“We have to say that this is a despicable act; we’re not going to sit back and let this go,” said RCMP Const. Annie Linteau. “We’re now embarking on a whole new investigation, which could involve public mischief charges against the person or persons involved.”
Cool. What a relief!
Oh wait! Weren’t there 5 other feet that weren’t hoaxes?
