You don't necessarily have to hide the body. So what if the cops know there was a murder? All you have to do is make sure they can't pin it on you. So that means an airtight alibi. And an airtight alibi means there are many witnesses or a physical record that you were elsewhere. Which probably means you have to find someone else to do it (which is a liability) or you have to kill them remotely.

First, purchase inconspicuous clothing, shoes, and the necessary supplies several months in advance. Pay with cash.

Carefully choose a site to bury the body. Got a cottage? Find a suitable location halfway between your home and your cottage. Obviously, a wooded area unsuitable for recreational use would be best. Research the area to make sure it is going to remain undisturbed. Now repeat this process for a back-up site in the event that you are unable to use Site A. A dry autumn day would probably be the best time of year.

Prepare Site A several days in advance. Dig a deep grave.

Prepare the trunk of your vehicle by placing plastic sheeting where the body and supplies will lie. Place several bundles of branches and twigs in the truck to make it appear that you are transporting organic waste. You will need a reason for having plastic in your trunk should someone notice. Burlap will be needed.

On the night of the murder establish a rock-solid alibi. Be seen. People will need to know that you will be going to your cottage, or you will need to provide a suitable reason for traveling near your site.

Lure a random stranger to a private location free of eye-witnesses and video surveillance, without leaving an electronic trail by avoiding the use of telephones and email. This would be the single most difficult aspect of committing murder.

You will want to incapacitate your victim fully, but not cause a wound that will bleed. Blunt objects are OK, but a murder weapon is a pain to dispose of. Drugs would be best. A struggle would be need to be avoided.

Place the body in the plastic-lined trunk. Drive to Site A immediately. Remember, you?re driving to your cottage.

Once near the site, make sure your vehicle is hidden. While at the site, wrap the body in burlap. Carry the body to the site. Bury it. Load the car with the supplies and tools.

Once at the cottage, immediately shower. Wrap up the clothes, shoes, supplies, plastic sheeting, etc. Burn all of it. Burn it again. Burn it until there is nothing left but ash. Roast marshmallows.

Return to your home after a few days. Place mud in the truck. Have the car washed inside and out professionally.

Get away with it, you murderous bastage.
