Where would you hide a dead body?

[A.A.K]

I can think of many many ways that it could be destroyed...
but if it's to be buried? 'Hidden'?

Uhmm...
Cemetery is a good one.
In plain sight is a good one. just leave it in a car somewhere. fuck up the car. Let the police ponder.
You could also just "dress it up" and just dump it in a river or what not. So long as it won't be found for a week or so; you're golden.
In someone else's backyard.

...Hiding it is so much harder than destroying it.

I've found that sacrifices to the dark gods leave no bodies. The Old Ones hunger...

*ahem*

I'm going with the ocean barrel on this one, or at least a river barrel.

 

[Reaper195]

Dig a hole ten or twelve feet down. pour concrete over body. Fill back in. Plant a tree.

Under the sea
Bloated is better
Where it is wetter
Take it from meeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Bat Vader]

Assuming I left no fingerprints on the body or the weapon that was used I would buy some cement mix and dig up a part of the concrete in the basement of my house. After I dig a hole big enough I would dump the body inside and proceed to lay new cement on that part of the floor. After it dries I would put a table or couch over top of it.

My next door neighbor's consist of 2 police officers and a crown court prosecutor. I kill someone I am getting busted inside of hour.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

Give me 24 hours and the supplies I need and I can take care of that pesky "body"-problem.
I mean, erhm, why would I ever need to hide a body? I haven't seen no dead bodies nowhere around here...

But if I HAD to hide a body, I would try the local morque.
No-one expects a dead body to be hidden there, they will just write it off as a bureaucratic blunder and get on with cremating it or whatnot.

Speaking from personal experience (I used to work @ a funeral home) I guarantee you that a dead body no one has ever seen before would create a huge stir at a morgue which would immediately get the local authorities looped in. Trust me, bodies aren't ever written off or ignored at the average funeral parlor.

Yeah, that was a joke, I am fully aware that dead bodies suddenly turning up anywhere would quite probably create a stir.

I wouldn't hide a dead body, I'd live it there to rot. If I was the one that cause the body to become dead, I'd be sure to use gloves to avoid any fingerprints. If I didn't do it, then why would I hide it?

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Hide it? Nonsense. The world needs to know of our love!

I've just gotten into working on a cold, miserable Monday morning and this made me laugh. Well played.

 

[blazearmoru]

Pretty sure dissolving bone is possible.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

If I killed someone, intentional or not I would just freak out and run. The body would stay where it falls and I would hope for the best.
Of course my murder tactics would hopefully leave no body or make it very hard to find or use. I hear people drow near body eating sharks all the time. Whats one more?

As in any good recipe, each step starts with a verb:
1. Take corpse on holiday retreat to a remote place(Personal recommendation: swampland).
2. Dismember body into 13 parts ( halves of limbs, head, quarters of torso).
3. Each part will now fit in an oven. Wrap in tin foil and roast individually into charcoal.
4. Brush charcoal off of bone, and store in a barrel.
5. Crush bones with sledgehammer, and add to barrel.
6. Mix powdered corpse with powdered thermite in barrel.
7. Add remote magnesium detonator to barrel.
8. Bury barrel with lid closed.
9. Retreat to safe distance and apply detonator (All remaining DNA will be cooked to oblivion, and all carbon will be burned, resulting in barrel-shaped lump of rust).
10. Return from holiday retreat, happy from your time of relaxation.
Optional Icing:
11. Return to location the following year.
12. Dig up barrel shaped rust lump.
13. Carve into figure of your victim.
14. Place artwork in police station, hanging by neck from roof.
15. flee.

There's only one real option: Jefferson, WV

It's a great place to hide those corpses.

Sad part is I pass it on my commute. I just wish that video were less accurate... =/

 

[Gypsyssilver]

No particular interest for why I'm asking this, I just wanted to explore the imaginations of my fellow Escapists, and for you potential murderers, where would you hide a dead boy?

There was a guy down the road from us in the house where I grew up. He owned a pet crematorium - used to contract out to the local veterinarians.

A quick trip down to his house while he was away on holiday... Wouldn't be much left after that. Any ash remaining would be assumed to be from a local moggy.



You could also use maggots and a sledgehammer.

In physiology class we had to strip an animal skull down to nothing for practice in preservation of bone samples.

It wouldn't be for the faint-hearted. Or for people that have others dropping in to visit all the time.

But you could chop the body up into manageable pieces while it was still fresh.

Strip off all of the flesh that you could with knives/scalpels (and feed it to pigs etc - or just put into a rubbish bag and casually dump it into the local landfill).

Let maggots do most of the rest.

Then you're just left with bones. Recognisably human bones, however (which is the problem).

Bones inside bag + sledgehammer = white powder that can't be recognised as much of anything. Or at least they'd be reduced to bone fragments that are NOT recognisably human.

Probably dissolve it in a large drum of some kind of potent acid, over the course of a week and poor that ************ down the drain... sounds pretty good to me... just have to find a good way of disposing of the barrel and scrubbing the tub...<.<

 

[Rastien]

I would dump it in my bath tub filled with caustic acid but obviously not the kind to break down the bath tub! and gradually let the body break down until it poors down the drain, i would also kit the bathroom out with an extractor fan to deal with the smell. Any teeth or bones left i would break down and grind and scatter around various parks and ponds in the area.

Inside a woman's vagina.

Because bodies drop out of vagina's all the time.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

There's quite a few coal mines in North Carolina and Virginia that have been abandoned for almost a hundred years. Only time they pull bodies out is when children discover them while playing.

So yes Australia may be big and shovels cheap, but America is bigger and we've got great big fuck off holes everywhere that no one ever checks.

Aw, ninja'd.

That was one messed up film, the best thing about that scene was the way the topic came from completely out of the blue: they just wandered over to the man and he started telling them all about feeding dead bodies to pigs.

Well... wasn't completely out the blue...? Bricktop keeps pigs for this very reason, and he walks in on 3 blokes trying to dispose of a dead body. I mean, if there was ever a time to share his knowledge then that would have been it.

If I ever had to get rid of a dead body it'd depend entirely on how close I was to the victim (as in how easily it'd tie back to me). If it was a loose connection I'd be tempted to dump it in some heavy crime area with a missing wallet. Otherwise, I guess I'd have to go for the old bury deep somewhere completely random out the way and hope for the best.

It'd be nice to start doing things like using acid in the bath tub and stuff but I dont think I'd have the stomach for that.

A few months ago, a store near my work was having the parking lot repaved. The previous one had been torn up, and it would be a few days until it was replaced. When I saw that field of dirt and gravel, my first thought was that it would be the perfect place to hide a body. A similar idea would be to bury it the foundation of a house that is about to be built. Concrete would be poured over the body, and nobody would know... That's probably happened a lot!
