Human Foot Found at Corson's Inlet State Park
State Police seek help in identifying the skeletal remains found at the state park near Ocean City.
A fisherman at Corson's Inlet State Park made a grisly discovery on Tuesday afternoon.
The man found a high-topped sneaker washed up on the beach at about 1 p.m. Tuesday (Aug. 5). And inside the shoe: what appear to be human bones — with some of the toes colored by nail polish.
State Police investigators want the public's help in identifying the human remains.
The Southern Regional Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the remains are a right foot, inside a black Adidas ADI Rise 2 high top sneaker, size 5 ½, according to a news release from the New Jersey State Police. Some of the toes have the nail polish, but the gender and age are unknown.
