Seriall Killers

Vancouver–Last August, a 12-year-old girl found a sneaker on the beach and, intrigued at her discovery, she sat down, untied the laces and out fell the remains of a human foot.
She was likely the last person in British Columbia to pick up a shoe along the shoreline without fearing what they would find.
Since then, four other feet have washed ashore. What was thought to be a sixth foot was found on the shores of Vancouver Island on Wednesday, but investigators quickly discovered it was a hoax, a skeletonized animal paw, packed with seaweed and stuffed inside a sock and a running shoe.
Speculation ranges from natural disasters, such as the tsunami of 2004, to the work of drug dealers, serial killers and human traffickers.
One theory gaining the most credence is a plane crash off Quadra Island three years ago with five men aboard. Only one of the bodies, that of Kirsten Stevens' husband Dave, has been found.
Just two weeks before the first foot was found on Jedidiah Island last August, Kevin Decock, the brother of two of the men who died in the crash, trolled the ocean floor looking for clues near Quadra Island, using a fishing camera and equipment he designed himself.
Feast already knows that three of the five feet do not belong to her brother. She is still waiting for the DNA results for the other two feet. In the past few years, more than 20 men in the Vancouver area have gone missing. Thats our short news update...
