perfect murder weapon?

A silenced .22. Makes little more than a click, and after committing the murder you strip the gun, destroy what components you can, and scatter the rest. By scatter I mean bury each non-destructible component in a different national park. 😛

It's not so much the weapon as the execution. 🙂

pancreatic cancer has that survival rate?

There are two type of pancreatic cancer. The type with a low survivable rate and the type with a high survivable rate with early detection and surgery. Steve Jobs had the later kind. He was an idiot for not undergoing surgery right away.
 
if you had a notebook and wrote the persons name in it without specifying the death, they would die in 60 seconds of a heart attack.

seems like a good idea for a show or something.

Which could be solved by committing a crime in a place that you normally go, then your DNA/fingerprints are there for a valid reason.

Somewhere like a hairdresser's salon would be a bitch for the forensics team, only about a thousand DNA samples knocking around 🙂

Or you could raid the bin of a hairdresser's salon and use it to pollute your crime scene.

very little of that hair would provide a DNA sample.

hair needs the follicle to give adequate DNA, so shavings and cuttings are worthless. Simply falling out is worthless. It basically has to be yanked out. The only use one gets from hair at a crime scene is to match it, visually, to other hairs.

Steve Jobs was an idiot. He got a cancer that had a 99.9999% survival rate with early detection and surgery. He got it detected early and didn't go for surgery. He thought those "holistic" approaches to medicine would work instead. By the time he got surgery it was way too late. That wasn't murder but Darwinism at work.

That's not true. Pancreatic cancer is actually very difficult to detect, with patients often only exhibiting symptoms after it's progressed significantly.

http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/pancreas.html

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of death from cancer in the United States, after lung, colon and breast cancer. The lifetime risk of developing it is about 1 in 71. This year, about 44,030 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the disease will kill about 37,660 people, according to the American Cancer Society.
About 95 percent of people with pancreatic cancer die from it, experts say. It's so lethal because during the early stages, when the tumor would be most treatable, there are usually no symptoms. It tends to be discovered at advanced stages when abdominal pain or jaundice may result. Presently, there are no general screening tools.

-- derp, I read that pancreatic cancer in general has a high survival rate rather than Steve Jobs' particular diagnosis had a high survival rate. Nevertheless, any sort of pancreatic cancer is teh sux
 
I'm sure there's a device that could apply enough of a shock to the body to send the heart into some sort of funk that could lead to arrest while not leaving a mark on the persons body or any real trace as to who or how it happened.

Mythbusters tested ice bullets, meat bullets and gelatin bullets. All failed to have the potential to cause death.

Mythbusters are often idiots. They operated under the assumption that the bullet had to be fired with gunpowder. Sometimes I suspect that for liability reasons, the outcome may have been predetermined. But, there's no reason that another system for propulsion couldn't be used, say CO2 or compressed air.
 
Brick through the windshield while driving towards the person?

Working out with the person and during bench presses strangle them with the bar?

Drown them in a lake by tying their feet up with vines under the water (somehow)?

Killing someone is quite personal and requires commitment. The lack of respect for life is baffling that drives people to do that. And I'm not talking about self defense.
