Killers often think that disposing of a corpse is easy. And important. If there is no body surely they can’t be charged with murder. Right? Fortunately, they’re wrong on both counts.
A case in point: 23 year-old French art history student Eva Bourseau.
Seems that three of her classmates killed her over a dispute about a drug debt. Drug debts are never good things.
So okay, now they have a body. What are the going to do about it? As good students of Breaking Bad, they decided to dissolve the corpse in acid. At least they did use plastic rather than a metal tub, as, yes, acid loves to eat up metal.
But they also discovered that acid doesn’t always do the trick. Jeffrey Dahmer discovered the same thing.
Hell, even Dexter tried it.

Love this! Of course, I love most of your posts. I wish you had sharing buttons. If you’d like to add them, I can tell you how. It takes seconds and the payoff is more eyes on your incredible blog, which translates to more people buying your books. 🙂

Thanks and glad you like the posts. And yes I’d love to know how to add that. WordPress is somewhat of a mastery to me as to how it works. I know just enough to manage the site and not kill anyone—I hope. So fire away.

I don’t see them. Did you “save changes”? Sorry. I forgot to mention that.

And I tried again but don’t see them. Where should they be visible? On each post? On the main page?

Wait…wait…you didn’t tell me how to get rid of the body…hypothetically, of course.

You’ll have to figure that one out. Hint–it ain’t easy and Mother Nature has a habit of spitting it back out anyway. Just ask Scott Peterson.

Sad how the world has changed. It use to that a friend would help you move — and a real friend would help you move bodies. The world is a colder place these days.

The best way to dispose of a body is to not have one to begin with, right?

True. Unfortunately too many people figure that out a bit late.

I would love to remind that not all readers studied thanatology, pathology, criminology, or psychology at university. The risk I see, and know from my own failures so far, is that either it spoils the prose we write, or it makes the killer look, as if an entire squad of ghostly-advisers or headphone-speakers is constantly giving step-by-step help.
