Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.
I'm Celia Hatton, and I've traveled back to my home country of Canada to explore a mystery that's been unfolding along the winding coastline of the Pacific Northwest for more than 15 years.
It started back in August 2007.
We wanted to take a break and get some fresh air, and it was still daylight, so we went to this park.
Michelle Giris and her husband, George Baugh, were on a weekend visit to Gabriola, a tiny, heavily forested island off the west coast of Canada.
Just a few thousand people live there.
We decided to take this beautiful little trail that was going between houses.
The path they took that day led them to a shocking discovery.
We were walking towards the water, and Michelle was in front of me, and.
At the corner of my eye, I saw the shoe.
I went into the bushes off the trail and found this thing at the foot of a tree.
I think it was a size 11.
