New info about human foot found in a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park

[Ptah]

The investigation continues into the discovery of part of a human foot that was found in a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park.

On Tuesday, August 16, 2022, an employee found part of a foot in a shoe floating in Abyss Pool in the West Thumb Geyser Basin.

A news release from Yellowstone on Friday said that evidence from the investigation suggests that "an incident involving one individual likely occurred on the morning of July 31, 2022, at the Pool."

At this point, the investigation does not indicate there was any foul play.

They probably wouldn't notice if they lost a foot.

"It turns out that severed feet washing up on this coastline is, in fact, A Thing. It’s been a source of fascination for Canadians, Americans, and the media for years. It even has a dedicated Wikipedia page. The British Columbia Coroners Service, the people you call if you happen upon a disembodied foot, even put together a handy map.."

7. It turns out...

That rubber foam athletic shoes float, and decomposing bodies tend to come apart at the joints.

9. Let me guess...

It was POACHED!

I'll ask again, can DNA be recovered from cooked bones?

Must be someone decided to get in and that's all the evidence there is.

That alligators are migrating North. Maybe they're also heading west!
