The perfect murder

[SnipErlite]

How about a piece of wood as a bunt instrument? Burn the evidence?

Ha! Problem here is that you'd have to get into their apartment. With the icicle you can shoot them at range!

Who said I can't do that? Maybe I'm murdering a friend or acquaintance. Didn't it turn out to be statistically more likely you'd be killed by a family member or something? I dunno.

But yeah me and a friend spent about 20 minutes working out a perfect murder. It involved killing a good friend and an even better friend as an accomplice, to assist with the murder and to throw any witnesses off the scent.

How about a piece of wood as a bunt instrument? Burn the evidence?

Roald Dahl wrote a short story sort of like this:

Spoiler

A woman bludgeons her husband to death with a frozen leg of lamb, then puts it in the oven to cook. She leaves the house, comes home and "discovers" the body, and serves the lamb to the police as they're investigating the scene.

ROALD DAHL. THAT'S who wrote that story!

Thank you I haven't read that story in aaages, I always wondered who wrote it.

And no, I never bothered to just google it lol

there is the story of the man who murdered someone and buried them underneth his floorboards, no body so he wasn't a murder victim, he was a missing person, and if you are a phycopath than your concience won't get to you.

As I've said before, I'd simply be the one to 'find' the body...

Yay for the undercover cop! But that proves the point doesn't it. Eventually he got caught. Though, I must admit there have been crimes that do go unsolved only because of lack of evidence or technology.

Very true but tell that to the 250+ people he killed. Forensics didn't do a thing; it was his own stupidity. There is audio of him straight up telling this cop about the horrible things he did. Yeah, he did get caught eventually but he spent years killing hundreds of people. Thankfully, he was caught eventually but some people do get away with murder if they're clever.

That's what I was thinking too!

Although I'm certain Dexter slipped up at least once. Might have been in Season 1.

He's just very good at throwing people off his trail.

Dexter's massive advantage is that he has access to any investigation into his own crimes.

This is true. And he's destroyed evidence on more than one occasion.
