Is there such a thing as a perfect murder?

Seeing as NSC is invaluable for advice on pretty much anything.

Just finished prediction league scenario No. 3227 with my old man over a few beers and he came out with “shi(r)t, with this one we could end up in the play offs”

Staying quite calm it did get me thinking however, is there such a thing as a perfect murder? Is it possible to cheat forensics? Has anyone got away with murder? Whats the best way to dispose of a body that cant be traced?

Would welcome input from anyone been in similar circumstances

What's the shirt got to do with it?

Forensics aren't the only thing to worry about, a jury could convict on a collection of witness statements as well as using any internet history against you.

My in laws live in the middle of no where, 4 acres, in the back end of Carmarthenshire. I often fear that if I upset them they could bury me within their land and no one would ever find my body. I'd like to think that they wouldn't get away with it.

An odd question but we can put that down to the beer.
As to your question, there must be a way to get away with it as there are hundreds of unsolved murders every year. Especially in the U.S.
I reckon it's not down to the method you use but the location. I think you just have to do it somewhere the police don't give a shit whether they get the right man or not. Some backwoods in the US for example.

Hope this helps and do let us know how you get on.

Stop taking your arthritis pills during the trial so it's difficult to bend your fingers put on latex glove then try and put on leather glove from murder scene. Due to latex glove and stiff fingers leather glove won't fit. Hold aloft for all to see which will ensure not guilty verdict.

Simple.

If its gone to trial its not really a perfect murder.

I don't know bout the perfect murder, but DNA has surely delivered the death knell to the traditional fictional murder mystery.

"It looked interesting, Watson, but Inspector Lestrade checked the DNA on the body, and it was Moriarty's. Moriarty has been arrested and charged. Elementary, my dear Watson". Not quite as gripping as the original, is it?
Only positive is that it's put the kybosh on any more of the ghastly Poirot/Miss Marple type of detective stories.

One of the reasons for brainwashing people into the belief of a God, he has Hi Def CCTV everywhere and will get you in the end, and for eternity, which is a ridiculously long sentence.

You don't even need DNA for this case. It is now known if Pastafarian's Dad disappear, his post is on the internet for ever. You can even be convicted of murder without a body.

Potentially yes. I have just been cleaning the 2nd floor bedroom windows, having to lean quite far out to reach the furthest bits away. It would have taken just a very hard to prove little nudge from Mrs P, and aaaaarrrrgggghhhh I would have plummeted 2 floors down onto the concrete patio and she would have collected my life insurance :eek:
