I could tell you, but then I'd have to... follow through.

Sweet! nice idea, or is this from something?

I believe the idea has been used in some spy movies, but I doubt it would be possible to do in real life without the bullets melting or shattering. Of course, a similar concept could be used with other materials.

Then o kill your person, go home, make coffee, and kick back. 90% of people get caught because they have a previous record, tell people, or are seem feuding with someone.

Seriously, go like 20 miles away, find a random nd kill them, then go home. Bet you dont get caught

I'll try it out tonight and report back tomorrow (assuming I don't get caught). :)

You need a friend who looks like you in on it to do it right.

1. Buy replacement barrel for your registered handgun with cash at gun show
2. Replace barrel on your registered handgun
3. Send friend on vacation out of state with your credit card.
4. Take shower and scrub body and scalp down
5. Don black neoprene wet suit, hood and booties
6. Go to targets house at night
7. Shoot target in head with silenced handgun (an empty 2-liter bottle will work in a pinch)
8. Leave quietly while spraying bleach everywhere
9. Remove replacement barrel from handgun and throw in river
10. Clean handgun and replace original barrel
11. Take handgun to firing range and fire it
12. Store handgun without cleaning it

There is pretty much no way you could get convicted unless you are caught in the act.

Unfortunately, you have to be "elected" to be able to get away with it.

Make it look like an accident. Easier said than done. But it can be done.

i'm pretty sure it was tried on mythbusters and the bullets melted when fired. It might have been bullets made out of meat i can't remember.

There is pretty much no way you could get convicted unless you are caught in the act.

Wearing a neoprene wet suit out of cold water would overheat your body and you would pass out pretty quickly.

Semi-automatic handguns leave an imprint on the shell casing which could be traced back to your gun with some degree of accuracy so unless you recover the brass you are leaving evidence.

Motive will convict you just as easily as evidence will.

If you have an identical twin it makes getting away with murder much easier.

Yes, I saw that episode as well. However, I wouldn't exactly consider MythBusters to be highly scientific :)

Difficult answer as it depends on the situation...

The most difficult part is getting the person some place where they wouldn't have told anyone. Options include following them when out one night and picking them up in a fake cab when they are drunk, pretending to be a woman (internet-style) and meeting them some place or simply kidnapping them at some point.

Of course, you'll need somewhere in the middle of no-where to perform the kill. Some place out of ear shot. Good places include on a boat at sea or in the middle of the countryside.You'll need to check out the area and learn it like the back of your hand if you do it in the countryside. Make sure no-one sees you, ever. If they do, find some place else.

Weapons: well, a gun requires a license and bullets are kinda tracable, knives and blunt objects are messy and leave DNA everywhere. I'd go for a compound crossbow. These are quiet, you need no license to get one and the projectile can be recovered afterwards. Rate of fire is poor, however. Give it 1 year + after buying the weapon before you use it.

Disposal: dumping at sea covered in chains or burying somewhere. Burying is a pretty good option if you go some place very remote. You can get DNA in the tranport vehicle if the victim is already dead, however. Burning the body will remove any DNA from yourself. Make a a decent fire.

Another method would be to simply shoot the person at their house. Drive up to the door (stolen car or plates copied from an identical car to yours), detach the doorbell ringer and attach to long wires to the switch. Run wires to the car. Aim up your weapon of choice (crossbow, prolly) and close the connection with the cires. When they answer, fire and drive away.

Just some ideas.....

Of course, I think killing is a truly terrible thing, although if someone did something horrific to a member of my family, I'd probably have to do soemthing about it.

I would think that this falls under the heading of unacceptable forum conduct.

It's a good thing nobody cares what I think.

Fixed.

Great retort. You ever think about being a lawyer?

Nah, I couldn't live with myself if I were a lawyer. :p

Without a corpse, isn't it basically a missing person case? I'm thinking chains, maybe an iron weight or cement + bucket for the feet, and relatively deep, secluded water would do the trick.

Fat == bad myth? Tell that to the Inuit who died when they were given potatoes by the Canadians because of an extra cold winter.
