I was wondering the same thing. I wonder what the whole story is? Did the victim survive? And if they did, are they foced to use on foot because of this crazy lady?
Even if it was a fatality accident, the foot should have stayed with the victim. If I was a member of the victim’s family, I would be boiling mad right now.
This is one of the original articles regarding this incident, being a FL native I have been following reports for awhile. The gentleman who lost his foot is alive…no clue as to whether it could have been re-attached at the time.
Police Investigating Whether Firefighter Took Man’s Severed Foot From Accident Scene

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — St. Lucie County officials are investigating whether a firefighter took a man’s severed foot from the scene of a traffic accident.
A Sept. 19 crash on I-95 caused a Melbourne man’s foot to be sheared off. The man survived and is undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
It’s the Fire District’s policy to take a severed body part with the patient to the hospital if there is any chance of reattachment, or the body part goes to the medical examiner’s office.
But authorities said the foot was taken to the hospital days later, on Sept. 24.
Officials would not release the name of the firefighter under investigation, but said the person trains cadaver dogs, which are used to locate and follow the scent of decomposing human flesh
