Have you ever heard a story so outlandish, so weird, so strange, that you have had a hard time wrapping your head around it?

You guys know me by now. I read a lot of weird articles. I've seen countless crime scene photos while doing

research for other cases, and it doesn't make me squirm. I've read true crime novels and

listen to hundreds of hours of true crime podcasts. The usual story I go for, down to its bare bones

and without trying to sound completely callous, is a psychotic misfit who finds his or her prey

and kills them. Whether they do it over and over again is all dependent on this certain

brand of psycho. True crime doesn't necessarily just fall into the murder and victim storyline,

though. You have missing persons cases that have no explanation but foul play can be suspected.

You have mass murderers, serial killings, cold cases.

The list goes on and on.

The true crime category can be very vast and encompassing,

which is something I didn't truly realize until I dove head first into this community of weirdos.

And I'd mean that term weirdo in the most loving way possible, because you guys rock. But anyway, I'm rambling. What I'm

trying to get out here is that even within all those categories and subcategories, you sometimes

come across a mystery that doesn't necessarily fall into any of them,

but on the other hand, it kind of has to because this particular story involves dismembered body parts.

You see what I'm getting at here? Not yet? Well, you will soon.

You're listening to the apex and the abyss, and this is the mystery

of the Salish sea feet. Police in the Pacific Northwest are scratching their heads after a human

foot in a running shoe shoe washed up on shore.

Thing is, it's not the first time it's happened.

It's not the second or even the third time that it's happened.
