And the mystery deepens.

Yet another human foot has washed ashore in the coastal region of British Columbia and northern Washington State.  The latest discovery came Tuesday afternoon in Richmond, B.C.

The Canadian Press reports that a New Balance shoe containing human remains was discovered by a woman walking her dogs along the banks of the Fraser River.

CTV News reports that the woman who found the shoe is Diane Johnston.

“It had been brought up by a high tide,” said Diane Johnston. Since she was too scared to climb down the river bank to fetch a running shoe that was sitting up on a rock, she notifed her husband Ken, who later phoned Richmond police. (CTV News)

Tuesday’s discovery brings the total number of human feet found in this coastal area since August 2007 to seven.  On average, that’s nearly one foot washing-up every other month.

CTV News has also produced an excellent interactive map that provides:
