Description

The remains consist of a human foot found in a boot in shallow water on the west shoreline of American Lake, Fort Lewis, WA. Searches of the lake conducted by boat and by scuba teams for additional evidence and additional remains met with negative results. The boot appeared to have been in the water for some time due to the large amounts of algae covering its surface. The remains were estimated by the medical examiner to have been submerged for about 1-2 years.
