Man arrested after taking foot from corpse in cemetery

A police report says the 18-year-old man "stated that he dug it up from a nearby grave and took the foot from a Jew girl because he wanted the foot." The report adds that "officers were called to the scene about 3:30 a.m. by a witness at the graveyard." (Who hangs around a cemetery at that hour?) (Dallas Morning News)

Digging several feet down, forcing open a vault, then a casket, hacking around on a dead body---that's a lot of work. That said, this guy needs to be locked up for life because that level of craziness shouldn't be loose in society.

sterilize him NOW

Ugh. Just thinking about what he might do with a "Jew girl" foot makes me yearn for a shot of brain bleach.

First, Pleasant Mound Cemetery does not sound appealing at all. The mounds I've seen in cemeteries are over dead bodies and there's nothing pleasant about that.

Second, this guy reminds me of several true crime stories I've read about people like Ed Gein. Glad they caught him red footed.

[Reno]

Oh and his middle name is Wayne. It was fate.

Graveyard shift?

Thank you. Good night. You've been a great audience.

[Farmer Bob and the City]

Sterilization is recommended.

Who hangs around a cemetary at that hour? Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn and we know what they saw!

This kid is a moron. Why would he want a foot...

[Bluntfacts]

Let the record show that 4/30/10 was the day of corpse stories on OS&RR.

Save target to hard drive.

Idiot Nation on parade.

I understnad it is trendy with the youth nowadays to carry around a luck Jew foot.

understand.

[debilsadvocado]

Definitely not Kosher.

[Displaced]

Do graveyards still have live-in caretakers?

It seems that the crazy is all around the country today.

[Notch Johnson]

Tastes like chicken.

"When officers arrived, Staley approached them and showed them the foot."

Seems like anyone with a half a brain (even Abbie Normal's) would have... wait for it... hotfooted it out of there. But nooo, not our genius.

Who hangs around a graveyard at 3am;

Pedi-files.

He dug several feet that apparently were not Kosher enough for him.

and finally; After having dug up the notion that ne needed to grow an extra foot ...

All of these were completely senseless footnotes to this story!

[Lou Sussler]

The article doesn't say anything about a witness at the cemetery in the middle of the night; it says that Staley approached police officers 12 hours later and told them he had a foot in his bag.

[Lou Sussler]

12 hours after posting on his My Space page, not 12 hours after he dug up the foot.

[twerp]

I'm shocked that none of you have said anything about a foot fetish yet.

[LimeGreenLizard]

Foot fetish on parade.

This story has been rewritten and reposted at least twice, which makes the string of comments here a bit more lunatic than usual. The current version is at least four times longer than the first and contains many changed details.

[The Hermit]

Sad as it is, atleast he didn't kill some kid to get a body part. I wonder if he will get released again into society.

[Sigh]

Must be a homeschooler. If our schools teach one thing, it's how to use a blade.

[Tom Weidermeijer]

What about those feet that kept washing up on the shore of the Pacific Northwest?

Can't he just wait for one of them to come floating in. Sure, I don't know if you can confirm the Jewish thing, but it's still a free foot.

Here is his MySpace. He talks on 4/19 about not being sure if he is going to be able to fit an entire body in his bag.

Oh- and take a look at the pics. The one with the gun to his head is interesting.
