Military use
CFB Comox is the primary air defence installation on Canada's Pacific coast and serves as the home base for maritime patrol/anti-submarine aircraft and fixed-wing and rotary-wing search and rescue (SAR) aircraft.
Its primary lodger unit, 19 Wing, has two operational squadrons:
407 Maritime Patrol Squadron flying the Lockheed CP-140 Aurora
442 Transport and Rescue Squadron flying the CC-115 Buffalo fixed-wing and CH-149 Cormorant rotary-wing aircraft
19 Wing also includes the 19 Air Maintenance Squadron, and a number of other organizations.
CFB Comox is the location of the Canadian Forces School of Search and Rescue, where all para-rescue specialists in the Canadian Forces, known as SAR Technicians or "SAR Techs", undergo training.
CFB Comox serves as a forward operating base for temporary deployments of the CF-18 Hornet fighter-interceptor.
Every April, the Snowbirds practice at 19 Wing Comox.
CFB Comox is used by the Royal Canadian Air Cadets for glider and powered flight training training on Schweitzer 33's and Cessna 172's respectively in the summer months. An annex of CFB Comox, Annex A "Goose Spit", is used by the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets for CSTC HMCS Quadra where 1,000 sea cadets undergo training in the basic trades of Gunnery, Boatswain, Music and Sail. Also it trains cadets in three specialty trades Marine Engineering, Shipwright, and Silver Sail. It is also host to the local CFSA (Canadian Forces Sail Assosiation).
Civilian use
CFB Comox's airfield also serves as a civilian airport for commercial flights destined to Vancouver, Calgary, Campbell River, Edmonton and Mexico (Cancun and Puerta Vallarta). The base hosts a biennial airshow to celebrate Canadian Forces Day. The base is also home to the Comox Air Force Museum which features several aircraft and other historical exhibits. The base is a primary employer in the Comox Valley.
In short, it seems like a very natural black site for interrogation/rendition purposes, as well as an ideal North American point of entry for narcotics traffickers from South or Central America. And both of those have dismemberment potential.
Are shoe sizes the same in Canada and the U.S.? A U.S. men's 12 suggests a fairly tall man, insofar as these things can be inferred.
I know those NYT photo-pickers (as a class, I don't know who specifically picked that photo). I'm sure they were just looking for something appropriately morbid in this case, and also trying to sneak something impermissibly "dark" past management.

Should it possible that [like on TeeVee] the police are probably fully aware of the "method" but are witholding this information as it is likely the ONLY thing they know for certain that only "they" and "the remover" know?
Witholding it on purpose, but not for sinister reasons?
