Severed Leg (And Feet) Mysteries

It says there are no witnesses... I'm missing how they can pinpoint the date so precisely?

"In a statement today (Aug. 19), authorities said that the foot is linked to an incident involving a single individual on the morning of July 31 and that they do not suspect foul play. They did not elaborate on why they do not suspect foul play, nor did they identify the person who died. An investigation is ongoing."

Murder afoot.

Employees at a recycling plant just south of Bankgok, Thailand were sorting cardboard boxes in a container shipped from the United States when they made a gruesome discovery. Inside the flattened cardboard were severed legs with the feet still in socks and sneakers.

"It is possible the person was the victim of a murder," said police Lieutenant Colonel Dechanut Thayasirichuti. "It did not happen in our country though."

From The Sun:

Police were scrambled to the area and, upon searching the container, they found a second limb that stretched up to the pelvis, compressed in a cardboard box and also wearing a matching black sock[…]
[Thayasirichuti] added: "'The body had already decomposed, so we believe it had been in the container for a long time before it arrived in Thailand.
"We suspect that the person was a foreigner and the remains travelled here.
"The shipping company will co-ordinate with foreign police."
