The Juneau Police Department says that they have found human remains inside a shoe that it believes is part of a foot.

In a press release, the department says that they responded to a call of human remains on Sunday around 12:30 p.m., and located the shoe on the sea walk near the Department of Labor building.

They say that the remains, while identifiably human, were in a deteriorated position and "appeared to have been outside in the weather for a long time," and that the type of the shoe couldn't be determined.

Officers searched the area for any other evidence, but couldn't find any.

The shoe will be sent to the Alaska Crime Lab to see if identification can be made.

In 2017, a boot with a human leg still attached was found on Sandy Beach in Juneau.
