Seems like the acid idea would work fine as long as you pick up the left-over pieces and disperse them… or maybe you should crush the leftovers in a pneumatic press and scatter the remaining debris…
I never understood… So few murders seem to go unsolved… and yet it seems so easy if you REALLY wanted to get away with it… same goes for other crimes…
This year, it became illegal in North Carolina to transport an un-wrapped body in the passenger seat of a vehicle.
This was done in a “dignity” law that also forbids swearing in front of the body.
Southern “moral” stupidity, combined with an attempt to require everyone to have expensive funerals for the undertakers lobby.
Several years ago a prosperous local farmer disappeared. Foul play was suspected and the farmer’s wife and the hired man were the leading suspects. There was, however, no sign of a body. The rumor at the time was that the farmer had been run through the hammer mill (a device that reduces grain to a powder for livestock feed) and fed to the hogs. The hammer mill was examined with no results. As it turned out they had just buried him under the dirt floor in the machine shed. There was some contention that it would have been better to just dismember the guy and throw the remains in with the pigs. Pigs will eat nearly anything and will gnaw on bones until they are reduced to fragments.
The probable Jimmy Hoffa method has a certain elegance. A 55 gal. drum and an industrial landfill, or failing that, an under-construction football stadium.
But it’s alright if the corpse is driving? :eek:
Maybe instead of lime, you should try lye. I would recommend dumping the body in a bathtub, adding hot water to cover, then dumping in lots of lye. Of course, be sure to wear your goggles & rubber gloves, have good ventilation and white vinegar on hand, and watch The Fight Club several times.
Following this, you may still need to remove the bones & teeth, but you can probably make some great soap with what’s left.

Indeed. Lye (NaOH) or some other strong base (KOH, for example) will work better than acid, methinks. It dissolves skin faster, anyway.
Actually, a good compost pile might help get rid of most of the edible bits of a human fairly quickly, and the bones could then be ground up. Any takers on this idea? Damn composting has a peculiar smell to begin with.
Fight Club… now thats a great movie… u can make some killer explosives from watchin that movie
Um, why has no one mentioned fire yet? I don’t mean on your balcony or anything like that, but either a nice big campfire or several small ones. You’d save yourself the risks of dealing with acids, sludge removal, and skimming the bits out, plus the curious glare of the chemical plant owner and the paper trail when you say you need to buy 50 gallons of HCL for um… personal use. They make barbeque ovens big enough to roast whole pigs in don’t they? While burning leaves in the steel drum out back you could always drop in a limb too no? Retreive the bones and bits that aren’t ash yet, and grind them up or bury them after you throw a few shovel-fulls of dirt on the camp fire.
Simpler yet is to live in the south, and just go out to feed the 'gators one night… I know that has been done for real in the past.
Really ambitious? then dig a hole about 10 feet deep; rent a backhoe if you need to (to put in a septic tank;)), and do a nice job landscaping the surface so it doesn’t appear disturbed.
Freeze it solid. Then rent a chainsaw and a large woodchipper. Cut the body up and run it thru the woodchipper. Dispose of the resulting peoplechips in a river.
Then you’d have to somehow dispose of most of the wood-chipper too… You’d get dna and other identifiable remains all over that shit.
From watching those murder shows on the discovery channel…
I think the best way to get rid of a body would be to cut it up, remove the teeth, and put it into the swamp. dont forget to spread the pieces around. If you don’t get found out for about 6 weeks I’d say you were home free.
Basically, whatever is done, always remove the teeth BEFORE doing whatever it is you are doing to the body. Most people don’t have DNA records on file, but most people DO have dental records.
Now, what to do with the teeth? Well, each tooth is buried in a seperate location at least ten miles from the location of the body, and at least five miles from each other. My suggestion is if you are going to kill someone, make sure to do it right before that big cross-country roadtrip you’ve been planning.
Um no , a person was convicted of murdering his wife by this technique after they found fragments of her body in the local lake/ river he froze the body sliced it up with a chain saw and put the chunks thru a wood chipper. He dismantled the chainsaw replaced the chains on the chipper
and took them to another river and threw them in.
Now cops got suspicious of him and his dissapearing wife and they got some DNA from his wife’s hair brush and other clothes , also they checked his recent purchases and rentals which were a chainsaw and chipper and a new chain for the chipper .From this they deduced he mashed up his wife and compared hair DNA with the bone and flesh fragments found at the shoreline of the lake and it matched and they had a case , saw that on murder detectives a few months back.
Course another best way to rid a body is to get a lump hammer smash it to pulp (after wrapping in a bin liner of course) then either :
#1 take it to the hot dog factory and sneak in and stick it in the meat pulveriser
#2 take it to dog kennels and feed it to the doggies
#3 use it as shark fishing bait
Course i do recall a UK murder vaguely where a woman was killed she had all her fingers cut off her eyes removed teeth smashed out and skin on the face torn off , might have been a film mind you.
This thread is creeping me out. Y’all are some cold-blooded mofo’s.
Memo to self: Don’t piss off a doper.
Time to feed the hogs! hehe hehe
That would be Shallow Grave, staring Ewan McGregor pre-Trainspotting (but with the same production team). A very creepy film indeed. Although I’ve no doubt some murderer somewhere has done much the same thing. La la la.
Dead Men Do Tell Tales by Michael Browning & William R. Maples is a fascinating book about just this subject. Maples is a forensic pathologist who identifies bodies from their bones and teeth. The book has a number of case studies including several bodies that were burned to ash, bone fragments and teeth, one that was stuffed into a septic tank, and three murdered by gangsters and buried in the same hole. He also examines the remains of Czar Nicholas of Russia and his family and gives an opinion on the fate of Anastasia.
It’s interesting to note that Maples was able to identify bodies from the tiniest of fragments. A gold crown here, a skull suture there. His opinion was that if a corpse is found, no matter what its condition, chances are it will be identified.
Check out the link, it has excerpts from the book. Grisly stuff…

Sounds like a great script for a teen horror flick. Have you tried selling this to HOLLYWOOD?
Bones, as mastodons will attest, can last a long time.
The best thing is to chop everything into small pieces and put in the trimming bucket of a commercial butcher.
Be sure no tattoos are visible.
