I have a brother missing in that area, no one in the family has heard from him in I would guess anywhere from 8-10 years. I have e-mailed the RCMP in BC but was told that if a person doesn't want to be found it's up to them.. He didn't keep in touch a lot but we certainly would have heard from him by now. He had been in a high risk category in years prior and I believe after his divorce shortly before he disappeared he may have fallen back into this lifestyle. I feel that something bad happened to him. But short of hiring a private detective there is not much one can do from the other side of the country. Who knows some of these remains may be my missing brother but how do you get the authorities to help you???
I would like to find out if I can submit my DNA for testing..I really have a feeling there is something to this.

After watching this film I became more curious to find what has caused these feet to keep on surfacing. I don't think that foul play can be completely eliminated - there have been mass body findings before that did not show evidence of being "sawed".

I wondered if there was a commom area where these people committed suicide. I have found it interesting that all of the limbs recovered have been wearing runners. Perhaps a disaster involving a group of people has not yet been traced.

Hi...I am a psychologist in NS, with some research and applied experience in internalizing disorders, anxiety and depression. I also have great interest in case, as do many. After watching the documentary "Mystery of the Floating Feet", I have the impression that there is very little energy directed toward the possibilty that these feet are from victims of suicide. I feel that some thought about this has been generated, but not nearly enough..... more thought needs to be invested in this possibility.

It is very common for suicidal individuals to choose jumping from bridges. Please see the online Wikipedia information by googling "suicide bridge". There are numerous examples listed. Other evidence supports this theory. For example, the one victim that was identified was also known to be emotionally disturbed. Furthermore, the victims are all wearing sneakers. One would be unlikely to prepare to walk to and climb a bridge, or similar structure, with any other type of footwear. You must realize that this kind of suicide is often well planned and thought out. Furthermore, it is common for these individuals to walk very long distances to get to the bridge, or jumping point, of choice. Sneakers would be the most likely shoe to use.

Also, in support of this theory, I find it interesting that the one victim who was identified was only identified by way of a lucky recognition of the sneaker by a relative. This, to me, suggests that there is not enough DNA evidence on file to identify these victims through DNA technology first (i.e. linking the feet DNA with DNA of missing persons on file). The data bank seems insufficient. This was noted in the documentary. Maybe they will get lucky.....but likely not unless the candidates are narrowed greatly....or using other critieria.

In line with the suicide theory, narrowing the potential candidates should consider characteristics such as depressed individuals with histories of depression, possibly with histories of suicide attempts, but having sufficient physical conditions to walk to and climb a structure. They may have also experienced sudden loss and / great hoplessness.

Also, what is the demographic data associated with illegal immigrants and suicide in Canada? Is the DNA sufficient to determine racial identities of these victims? Do the racial demographics of the feet link to racial demographics of illegal immigrants? As the documentary noted, maybe these are illegal immigrants. If so, we may never identify the victims.

The research on the bodies seems clear. These feet were not sawed from their bodies. It seems fairly certain that they have separated as a natural part of the decomposition process, while the bodies are decomposed. I feel that people and media are distracted by how strange it is to have feet floating around and washing up on shores around BC and the USA, fueling unlikely theories and pointing investigations in the wrong direction. Let's forget about crashing planes etc.....!! Where is the jumping point? Is there a brige or bridges or other structure up river that would serve as sufficient jumping points for victims of suicide? Please comment.

1999 there was a cargo ship came in to prince rupert,bc. carried ilegal immigrants from china, the ship was stoped by the r. c. m. p. some of the people from the ship had jump in to the water, they never been found. could it be?

Adding to my earlier posting....I also wonder if there has been a bridge, or similar structure, built within the last ten years. This would explain why the feet have been washing ashore only in recent years.

Adding to Hung Khuu's comment.......

Maybe DNA could categorize the feet by the same cultural demographic.

adding to my last comment
most asian are have smaller feet than the westerner,verry often are the same size. they like to wear colourfull foot wear, snikers are the most common foot wear in china for the midle class,especially China is the bigest place producing snikers.
in many cases , when people boarding the ship to escape china,some may not make it, they are died at sea, the body got dump in to the ocean, not to mention, some would jump in to the ocean to avoid captured by coast guard.
in the pass 10 years, many illigal immigrants from china had entered the coastal of bc. by cargo ship.

According to the Documentary the RCMP have ruled out foul play. How can they possibly rule this out based on the remains they have. For all anyone knows, the rest of the body is riddled with bullet holes, weighted with cinderblocks and resting at the bottom of the Fraser somewhere. Sure, the foot may have detached through natural means, but that says nothing about what happened to the rest of the body.

The numerous feet found in a short time span cannot be attributed to increased awareness by beachcombers. We are certainly keenly aware of this mystery out on the East coast and we have yet to report our first sneakered foot! Sable Island for instance has everything imaginable show up on its shores, but as far as I am aware-no feet yet.

The currents in the North Pacific circulate clockwise. The feet up washed up could have come from Asia. Has their dna been checke against that of passengers on China Airlines Flight #: 611? The flight crashed into the sea, 31 miles NE of the Penghu in the Taiwan Strait. 25, 2002 with 225 fatalities

Just a guess but maybe they were dropped from a plane and came from somewhere back East - could be anywhere - the Eastern area/seaboard.

Further to my post on China Airlines Flight #611:
the feet are mainly right feet, may indicate that they came from passengers in starboard side window seats.

After watching the documentary "Mstery of the Floating Feet", I thought of all the First Nations people that accidentially fell in the rushing rivers while fishing for their winter stock. I believe that First Nations Indian Bands should be notified on this investigation and/or notice send to family of victims if they wanted to give DNA sample. Also, giving the foot size, when and where it was found...etc.
