I asked this question 3 years ago

I have roamed around places where there were scores of abandoned mine shafts, just holes a few feet across and straight down hundreds of feet. I used to think that would be a good way. But it doesn't seem funny, now, because a local guy whose wife disappeared a few years ago was known to have made trips to the same general area. No way of knowing if that's what happened, but the police did check out some shafts. She has never been found.
 
The ones that seem to go undiscovered seem to involve concrete and a construction site, which probably means I need some mob connections to get it done. I suppose I could try dissolving them in hydrochloric acid, but who has the time these days?
Ain't no body got time for that.

I don't know. Maybe if I knew a sketchy butcher shop or something we could use for extra cash...people are kind of like pork, right?
 
The accepted practice for most of us demons is to use the ol' dimensional vortex.

...but if it was unavailable, thermite. Lots of thermite. In fact screw the body disposal, I'll be out back with my thermite, a stick, and some bacon.
 
All this wrapping in plastic...doesn't that allow the body to remain relatively intact? Doesn't sound like a good idea.

Wood chipper and hungry dogs does sound good, provided you do a good clean up of the chipper--or dismantle it completely and dump the pieces in various places--or clean and leave at a scrap metal place in the middle of the night. Let them melt it.
 
A good meat grinder, something heavy duty that will crush bone, and a kennel with some hungry dogs. Or you could use it for chum and do some fishing.

Meat grinder was my first thought, too. I have several excellent knives and a sturdy old meat grinder. Should the bones give me trouble, I also have access to a wood chipper.

Isn't bone meal good for gardens or something?
 
The bones are tricky for a meat grinder. Plus, it's hard to hide a meat grinder and pretty easy to trace it back you you.

All you need is a general contractor for concrete work.

Though most highway/public works departments I know of frown upon using organic material for fill. Your sidewalk will sag and crack, and they'll find the body when they make you dig it up and replace it.

I got the state DOT spec book on my desk. I know they specify mixes for walkways, structural concrete, bridges, etc. Haven't run into one for hiding bodies though.

How would you bid that out anyway? By the dead load weight or per body? My thought is per body since the difference between hiding a 170 lb person isn't much different than a 180 lb person. It's still about the same amount of concrete, labor, and hush money.

All grinding implements I've read about in this thread have that one thing in common: they leave tool-marks that can be traced. And of course the body will leave trace on the tool -That's just Locard 101 :p

As to the use of human remains in gardens -go ahead, but remember not to eat anything that grows in it: we are at the top of the food-chain our bodies have a high content of things you really don't want in a body (heavy metals an' such).


While writing this I came to think of the drunks, standing in the doorway to the bar two houses down from here... It gave me an idea :evil:

One could dress up the body as a homeless person (however those may look in your neck of the woods) and 'dump' it in an alley, while being dressed like a homeless person.

Those people are invisible to everyone else.
 
Put it in a coffin that's already occupied - a slightly oversized coffin can hold 2 small bodies. Send it to the funeral for the other body, pop in the cremator and not trace left.
 
I'm fairly fond of the mob route of taking the body out into the ocean in the middle of the night, tying some cinder blocks to it and then dumping it into the sea. Hard to dredge the ocean for a body so so long as the place where you killed the person is clean and there's not much of a "trail" between you and the person killed....

In take it you know some funeral parlours whose security is low that it is easier enough for you to break in while carrying a body, similar to any undertakers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

As for dumping a body at sea - we had a very famous case in Australia where this was done. A shark decided to dine on the body, later the shark was captured and placed in an aquarium where it disgorged an arm which had a distinctive tattoo and which forensics determined had been severed with a knife.

In the previous thread I had on this question there was a fair amount of mention of pigs and Deadwood, I thought that someone would have mentioned a pig farm by now.

I'm sure the NSA is having a field day with this thread. ;)
Yeah, by the time I realized I shouldn't have told people how to make homemade napalm, I couldn't edit it. I was going to change it to: it's google-able.
