My memory is acting up but it might have been (mutha-fuckin’) Charlie Bronson in The Mechanic who disposes of a body quite neatly.
IIRC he breaks into a body shop on a Friday evening and deposits the corpse into a vat of some type of acid. No one will be back until Monday morning so that leaves enough time for the acid to do its work. I always wondered whether or not vats of acid are that easy to come by.
Tough problem; the thing is you have to get it right the first time. How much chain to make a body sink? How much gasoline to make it burn? Get it wrong and you are screwed.
So using heavy equipment at the office is the best choice, go with what you know. But what of us who work in a cubicle? I do not see destruction as an option. This leaves us with hiding it.
Hiding it has the same problems. If you are a suspect, they will look at areas you are familiar with. That leaves out the old well at Granddad’s place. (Right on top of the bones of Jimmy and that pesky dog.) That leaves dumping into water as a good option to those of you who have water and a boat.
I would rely on massive incompetence from the local police. Dump the body in the desert and leave Saudi Arabia forever.
Been there, done that, one of the most scenic countries I’ve ever disposed of a body in… oo-er, I mean, I bet it would be, based on travel brochures I’ve seen.
Would human DNA be identifiable in pig manure? I’m thinking run through a stolen or bought out of state years ago woodchipper and fed to pigs.
Gotta clean the woodchipper really well, though. Hiding a woodchipper may be harder than hiding a body.
Stuff body into plastic lined box. Buy a fishing boat and go out to sea. Open box and soak body in chum for a few hours. Put on meat hook and troll for sharks. Let sharks finish job.
I can’t find the quote, but I remember my favorite part of the whole story was when his neighbor asked what the killer was cooking, because it smelled so good, and whether the neighbor could get some…
