<div class="IPBDescription">ya know like ya know?</div> Most people who commit murder these days are eventually caught, since our technology is much more sophisticated then that of..hmmm....lets say, the 50's. But I'd like to know if you can commit murder in this day and age and not get caught. Would you have to be extremely clever and smart to pull it off?

Your thoughts please.

    Up until Gary Ridgeway was caught, people thought that the Green River killings were perfect crimes.

    If you have no witnesses, no evidence and no motive, there would be no legal way to lock you up, because it wouldn't be provable that you did it.

    Leaving no evidence of yourself is incredibly hard though. No motive could be hard too, since you'd generally have to kill someone you never met far from where you live - that in itself would be suspicious, so getting no witnesses would be even harder.

    Technically you could do it...but in actual use it'd be quite hard to accomplish.

    To kill someone? Easy. The reason people get caught is A. There is something wrong with them and they do something stupid or B. It's a crime of passion and they do something stupid. If you just wanted to kill someone, a random person, heres one way. Drive around at night, maybe 1AM. Pick a person on the street, alone, a bum or a prostitute, something like that. Pull up alongside, bang bang, drive away. Never look back, go on about your life. Easy. There are hundreds of unsolved murders.

    The biggest thing would be never telling anybody or even letting on there would be a chance that you did anything. Thus everyone who has posted in this thread is no longer candidate for the perfect crime, as there is now a record of evidence.

    So don't go kill anybody nubcake.

    Umm...yeah, I'm inclined to agree -- if you're trying to get a bit of starter info for a school research paper or debate, it probably would've calmed us down a bit to let us know. If it is, feel free to PM me and I'll re-open the thread.

    Before locking this I think I'll go on a tangent into a happier topic. My idea for a perfect April Fools' joke would require renting a clown suit and mask, coupled with an ice cream truck rewired to loop through "Pop goes the weasel" at a speed directly proportional to the speed of the vehicle.

    You didn't hear that from me.
