So yesterday was a day full of excitement in the Fitzpatrick household. We had some great friends over that worked at camp with Steve and they spent the day with us. At about 3pm yesterday Steve and Nate took Meeko for a walk down to the beach where we used to always walk when we lived in the cottage. When they got down to the beach Meeko sniffed the ground and ran to one area and was intently sniffing something. So Steve checked it out and it was a HAND! At first they had no idea, but upon further inspection they identified the bones of a hand, with a thumb, the wrist and some skin that was still attached. They came home and they didn't know what to do, but us girls assured them that they needed to call the cops. Which they did, and they sent someone out for the guys to take down to the beach and show where they found it. He confirmed that it was a hand and then sent them away. Later we got an "anonymous" call that said we should send the picture into Chek news. So we wrote the news company and they did want the photo and this afternoon they sent a guy out to come interview Steve. We got a babysitter for the girls and we took him down to the beach and he told us that the cops had the forensics team come to the site and it was a big deal! He set up his camera, interviewed Steve and took a lot of videos of Steve and Meeko walking on the beach. It was fun! So they are posting the story on the 5 o'clock news tonight! And he said the police had sent the hand away to try and identify it and we would hear back when they found out. Apparently the cops remark to Steve when he took him to the site was, "that's weird, we usually find feet!" So I looked it up and came to this site which tells of the 10 human feet they have found around the island and apparently it is a big BC mystery!
