Foot Found In Baltimore Dumpster: Report

BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore couple combing through a dumpster reportedly found a human foot.

The discovery came at 10:10 a.m. Tuesday, April 13, in the 1000 block of West North Avenue, where two people who were "dumpster diving" came across a bag containing a foot, according to WJZ.

Police said the homeless couple had found "parts of a human foot," which are now being tested to determine whether the person was alive and if there was any DNA that could help identify the person who had been attached, The Baltimore Sun reported, noting investigators did not find any other body parts after conducting a search of the dumpster.

Authorities have been called in recent years to investigate a handful of other cases involving dismemberment.

A woman whose foot had been cut off was found in northeast Baltimore last year near train tracks, according to WBFF, which reported a torso was found without hands, feet and head in Morrell Park in southwest Baltimore in November 2020.

In May 2019, a woman's dismembered body was found wrapped in plastic bags near a dumpster at an apartment complex in northwest Baltimore. Her father was charged and is slated to appear in court in August on murder charges.
