I read about that yesterday. I wonder if Choppy McGee realizes that he threw a left foot into the mix by accident last time, or if it was done with some sort of intent.
Y'know, some guy tested his computer model of ocean currents by tracking Nikes that washed off a container ship. Since they knew the exact time and location of the container loss it was pretty easy to do.
If we assume that:
Bodies decompose/suffer predation at a standard rate;
Modern footwear is mostly buoyant;
Footwear will drift in wind and current differently depending upon which foot is (still partially) in it; and
All of the footsies that washed up on VI were right ones:
One should be able to apply the current model and pinpoint the approximate time and location of the marine/aviation incident that killed at least six people, folks who have never been recovered.
I personally suspect there's a mafia hitman somewhere going "Oh, holy fuck, they're supposed to STAY GONE when you dump them in the ocean with weights on! Fuck!"
Still, one should still be able to model the currents and backtrack to roughly the dumping/disaster site. If you're right, they might find the rest of the weighted bodies (or what's left of them).

some one has watched "Saw" one two many times that's what happened.
