Severed Toe Found ‘Gift Wrapped’ At A Washington State Park

A “TOE” was found gift-wrapped in a box, abandoned in a Washington State park last month. Was it a gift gone wrong? A type of ‘mob message’? What we know and what we can speculate below.

The severed toe was found by Kevin Ewing at the Dash Point State Park’s property line border. He and his family were walking along the grounds and enjoying Father’s Day when he noticed the gift-wrapped package.

Investigating the weird present, he unwrapped the green cloth packaging and yellow string from the pine box, and inside was a toe along with some other head-scratching items (pictured here).

Alerting officials, the Washington State Patrol is now investigating the case, and alerts have gone out to nearby agencies and medical facilities.

The toe appears to be from an adult man, and according to Ewing, it looked to have been roughly severed, and not a clean cut.

“The toe definitely did not look like it was amputated. It definitely didn’t look like a surgeon had taken it off.”
