disposing of a body

[Justme]

I thought it was also the bone in your ear that they could not digest.

when we had pigs they would try and catch the chickens at times, we watched one eating a dead moorhen, it had long legs and it just crunched away till it was gone. amazing really although we fed pigs plums, crunching on the stones, makes my teeth hurt watching

Had this dilemma a few times (in theory for book idea) and never come up with something viable for the "ordinary man" to dispose of a body. Everything has a risk of being caught with how good Police, forensics and pathologists are today.
Years ago we had a doorman at work who previously was at a steel plant (Shelton Iron & Steel). He said it was common practice to use the heal of your boot to break up the slag on the top of the furnaces. I should had they wore special boots and not ordinary steel toe caps or whatever. One day a chap slipped and put his whole foot in. By the time his mate had grabbed him and pulled him to safety his boot along with the foot had completly dissapeared.

Take the corpse to hospital strapped up right in a wheelchair . go to any of the wards and slip said corpse into any of the empty beds on its side.
Scribble all over the bed record sheet , hang a sign above the bed that shows LPW in big red letters ,put plastic flowers in the empty water jug & exit .


Come home and have a good party .


It will be months before the body is discovered and by that time the maggots will have picked it clean. Staff & managers will then cover up & do the dirty work for you by yellow bagging it and sending it to the hazardous materials incinerator along with all the bedding .

He was a bulls****er, when the steel or iron is molten so is the slag, you rake it off with a long handled tool because if you were close enough to put your foot in it you would be on fire Good story though. I have worked at three foundries, iron and steel.

To dispose of a body is full of options, feed it to pigs, burn it, dig a big hole in a field.

The method behind it is not to leave a trace of evidence, you can quite happily chop up a body into small bits in a room covered in plastic sheeting then dispose of the body and burn the plastic sheeting but there is always going to be the chance of leaving DNA evidence on any clothing or parts of your body. The main point is to have no motive and cover any tracks, or if you do have a motive then make sure you have a good cover story.

with the current ways the police can do things the second they think they have something on you they can start all sorts of forensic investigations which will include in depth questioning by specialist officers which will find any flaws in your story.

Its sometimes better to keep the subject alive and just torture then into giving you the answers or keeping quiet. a course flap disk to the knuckles, knee's, elbows and forehead then dipped into a bath of salt should make them think twice..

anways, im off to dig a hole "for some drains" then have a good bath..

Have you taken over his account and still posting in his name ? People will notice if drains stops posting.

When you think of the remains that are dug up and found to be 1000's years old it makes you realise the easiest thing to do is leave any body to be found but destroy evidence with fire, acid or whatever.

OT but visited and stayed with a "friend of a friend" in Northern Spain. He was telling me that when digging out for his swimming pool they discovered 2 bodies. Turned out they were from Spanish Civil war and buried "where they fell". His remote farm was the site of fighting and he was told there would be bodies buried all over his land.

Well played.

John George Haigh, the 'Acid Bath Murderer' almost got away with it: he dissolved his victims in oil drums of some acid. Even taunted the Police that they'd never prove whose the bodies were... but they found false teeth and (IIRC) some jewellery that hadn't dissolved... and they hanged him.

Ian Huntley tried to burn his victims but the only thing he managed was to hide the actual cause of death (and -probably- whatever else he'd done to them first). Shame they couldn't hang him

My uncle worked for the council locally and he was the one that got called in when the football ground was expanded and they found a body. It had been buried in the back garden of a row of terraced houses but of course by the time they found it the houses had been flattened so they needed someone to measure up and check on the plans to verify which address it had been at. He could only narrow it down to one of two with a strong likelyhood for one of those - reckoned it must have been buried against the fenceline.

They got someone for it.

I remember reading an article where a murderer in the USA thought he had the foolproof way of disposing of a victim. He fed the stiff into a heavy duty chipper out in the woods. Apparently it was completely destroyed. It must have been a right pain to wash the chipper down afterwards but he was caught by the police a long time later by dna evidence from a piece of tooth found at the scene.
Nearer to home i have heard tell the old coke stoves in nissen huts were pretty efficient.

Spoke about this (in a purely hypothetical way!) when I worked in a paper mill that made heavy grades called board from waste paper/corrugated. One of the pulpers (think heavy duty blender) processed about 600 tonnes of waste/day so any body dumped in there would be pulped and pumped out via a perforated plate with 20mm holes for further processing. Any bits of bone that got rejected would have ended up in the waste going to landfill and with about 1000 tonnes a week of waste it would be unlikely the bits would be spotted/found. Once saw the remains of a diesel powered welding plant that had been inadvertently placed, along with a lot of loose waste paper on the conveyor of one of the smaller pulpers and fed into the pulper. All that was identifiable was a couple of metal panels that resembled crumpled paper in shape and the rotor from the generator part!!

I read the story of the tree chipper in one of the Mark "Chopper" Read biographies. His version happened in Oz, and I suppose that there's a lot more space to dispose of the "mince" there (like into a croc-pool).

As to the "coke stoves" - even in a commercial cremation oven, the teeth aren't completely destroyed, and have to be ground down.

concrete overcoat and three or four days out into the Atlantic is probably the "best" place to lose a body. Know anyone with a yacht? or a deep-sea trawler?

Local scrap yard, F W McGuinness, was in the paper a few years ago after Police went over their metal shredder and found evidence of human remains. The assumption was somebody was in the boot of a scrap car

Ah, you mean the 'Cremulator'.

Effectively a washing machine full of steel balls.

I'm a field service techie but I think I might draw the line at cleaning one of those.

since a body is 90(?)% water, most of the ash from a crematorium (and thus what goes in the urn) is from the wood in the coffin

 

[Keith 66]

A lady i know works in a crematorium, she reckons that the quantity of ash varies quite a bit, also a surprising amount of metal bits, fillings, crowns, pins screws & hip joints. They have to watch out for pacemaker batteries as they can explode. There is a small viewing port in the door of the cremator, apparently the stiffs often sit up in the oven as they are being cremated.
