Azazel. I can't help but notice that you are ruining our perfectly good thread with the knowledge you gain from your degree. Please cease and desist.

Altough i must thank you for explaining why the walk up and shoot them then walk away method is flawed. Still i would be interested to try it. Just to see how long it takes em to track me down.

What about Yogurt? Can't plain Yogurt destroy a body? I believe i read somewhere that that can happen if you use enough.

Eat it.

What a vulgar and morbid thread.
The best would be death by pathogens, have to make them very short lived to stop a pandemic.

Eat the body or the Yogurt? Because i won't lie. I'm down for either at the moment since i haven't had brekky yet.



Lighten up Varon. This is Off Topic. Also this is disposal of bodies. Not how to make them. Although if those pathogens are of the voracious flesh eating kind you may have just killed 2 birds with one stone.

There's quite a simple option. Get someone you know but don't particularly like to become friends with you, and slowly start to brainwash them into thinking the person you want dead should be killed. Get them to the point where they will do anything to kill that person, then get a very good alibi while they go off and murder for you.

Conspiracy to commit murder.

Then when they are done get em to kill themselves?

Dunno about elsewhere, but here in Canada it's a crime to even suggest to someone they should kill themselves, even if they don't. Up to 13 years, by memory.

Of course that would require a witness to the act, or something.

Hey hey I think I'll go watch the X-File episode Pusher again

pretty sure this entire thread is a federal crime XD

The Sopranos: Don't even hide the body. Just wear gloves, have a good lawyer, and lay low before and after the crime for a while.

Apparently, in real life that can actually work. In cities like Detroit, with severe crime problems, over 66% of murders go unsolved.

Unfortunately, that is more a consequence of who is being murdered.

Respectively:

1. Very well.

2. I will assume that was a joke.

3. Full-fat yogurt, if ingested frequently and in copious quantities, and definitely ruin a body.

Much obliged.

You would hope wouldn't you.

So you would need a metric feth ton of it for it to work.

fire is cheaper lol

What about firing a body out of a massive cannon into space. Can't have a murder without a body right?

Seems cheaper just to buy the prison your serving time in. lol

Sheesh... theres just no pleasing you people is there?


OK then how bout you go down to Cape Canaveral or whatever that place is called and slip the body under a rocket just before take off? Don't think there would be much of a body left after that inferno was through with it.

Befriend a junkyard owner...

Put said body in a trunk of a car...

Crush said car into itty-bitty size.

Then call yourself "Mr. Wolf"!

That would work fine....unless your target is named Cedrick....

Woodchipper, eh?

No, I actually eat people. Bones have to be crushed to dust somehow though.

It's not such a bad idea if you have the time I guess...
No one's gonna suspect it for a while...

Then you can make Jimmy Hoffa Jello! Now with extra Jimmy.

Really if you're going to go to all of that trouble just build yourself a furnace and incinerate the body there, they're not terribly expensive, and it's possible to make your own for a couple hundred, or buy one for a thousand or two.

Plus the security at Cape Canaveral would be a freaking nightmare to get a body through.

It's not so much a problem of people finding the body, the problem therefore becomes if the police link said body back to you.

As mentioned, making the body unidentifiable is a simple way to cover your tracks and a lot easier to accomplish than actual disposal. Burn off the finger prints, mangle the face, destroy any identifying marks, and burn the thing. Most physical evidence and DNA evidence is destroyed.

As stated, you then wait it out. Once DNA tests come back to identify the person (assuming they have DNA on file somewhere) most likely the cops will be swamped with other cases by then. No time for the ones that are actually hard to solve.

It also helps if you have no motive for the crime.

there was actually a case in Mexico where a cartel hired a guy just to dispose of bodies. he was called El Pozolero (the stew maker), his preferred method: dissolve the body in acid then bury the resulting goo in his backyard. the authorities are still uncertain how many and who his "clients" were. grim stuff, but effective none the less.

Here I thought they just decapitated them and dumped them on the streets. Maybe 'El Pozolero' was part of a simpler time?

We covered this in biology (sort of)...

Chop it up into pieces (for eisier handling and reduction in size of containers), cover in quicklime to remove the flesh, put in concentrated acetic acid (vinegar) to remove the calcium from the bones then take what's left and burn it.

It was really wierd taking a bone out of acid and playing with it like it was one of those bendy dog toys.

Not acid. A base. See my first post in the thread.

This is all very well and good in a place with an obscene crime rate like the US. But somewhere like Australia where we only have 250ish murders a year trying to wait out the DNA tests and hoping the cops don't get back to you isn't so practical.

Hell all you have to do down under is bury the body somewhere in the outback, they'll never find it/the dingos will eat it

I thought it was the drop bears that'd take care of the evidence...

When in doubt, jet engines.
Thoose things are engineered to take a beating, and convert that beating into a fine red mist being thrown out of the engine's rear end.
It's quite hard to find out the identity of a person when that person amounts to little more than a gas.

Cremation furnace. Those things reduce legit corpses to ash and crumbling bone.
