The King County Medical Examiner hopes a photo of a shoe found with a human foot Tuesday on Seattle’s waterfront will lead them to the victim.

Volunteers were cleaning up Centennial Park near Pier 86 Tuesday when they found the shoe, with a human foot inside.

Port of Seattle police turned the shoe over to the King County Medical Examiner’s office. The shoe is a New Balance athletic sneaker, men’s size 10-1/2, white with blue trim.

The Medical Examiner’s Office says the model of shoe was first available for sale in April 2008. A black, cotton Hanes brand sock was also on the foot. The sex, age, ancestry, and stature of the individual are not known.

Officials are asking anyone who knows of a missing person that wore that type of shoe to call the King County Medical Examiner’s Office at 206-731-3232, ext. 1. Anyone aware of a missing person who has not been reported is being asked to file a missing persons report with the appropriate local law enforcement agency.
