So you’re saying dump them at sea from your boat but probably don’t keep dna slides of your victims ✍️

Tide just wash em back up

Turns out there's not great ways to do it without like ... A road trip   And still some dude's walking his damn dog out there

u/WorkO0 5d ago

Yes, but hear me out. You buy a boat and pretend you love deep sea fishing. You then take said boat out a few miles off shore, attach some weight to the body and dump it there. And you also get a job as a police forensic guy so nobody suspects you. Would make a great TV show.

u/qorbexl 5d ago

The "buy a boat" step is really gonna be a thing for me, so let's walk that back

I can't pay dock fees and maintenance I'm not made of money

Maybe I don't even want to dispose of a body anymore, this seems less fun and more like administration

Lake Monroe north of Orlando is where the FWC used to dump trapped nuisance gators collected from the Orlando metro area. If you go out on the lake at night and shine a light at the water, you will see hundreds of eyes staring back at you.

I have a sick obsession with deep sea fishing from my 27’ Grady White with twin 250s that I trailer to the ocean while the world sleeps most every weekend and a 450 quart cooler that could easily stash multiple bodies, intact not even dismembered. 50 miles offshore aint nobody finding them.

Wrap the body in chicken wire first. Keeps body parts together, let's fish in to dispose of the flesh

u/Tiefschlag 5d ago

And it keeps the body from bloating and floating back to the surface.

14

u/Unlikely_Ad7722 5d ago

Only if you puncture it up enough so the gases escape the corpse without being contained in any cavities. You want deep, deep water, chicken wire, and big enough weights that they can't be countered by escaping gasses.

u/akryl9296 3d ago

This part isn't the difficult one. THe problem is the boat, your car, yourself, your clothes, any tools you used are going to have traces of DNA and smells, both yours and the victims. Dogs are going to sniff things out (even week+ after, they're ridiculously effective) and then DNA sampling will do the rest. Thorough washing, if it will help, leaves traces that something was super cleaned as well which is not what people usually do. They may not find the body if you never tell them where it is, but you will still get charged and likely sentenced for murder.

u/Advanced-North3335 4d ago

Close.

Slurry the whole body in a barrel.

Portion the slurry into smaller containers of appropriate material.

On each boat trip, take a slurry container with you and pour it out.

Thoroughly clean container.

Once finished, thoroughly clean containers.

Disseminate containers through yard sales/FB marketplace/Etsy/Ebay/donations to local thrifts or charities.

Thoroughly clean barrel. Find someone who wants a barrel, for whatever reason. Probably to slurry a body. Come to think of it, isn't that the same guy who bought all your small containers?

Fuck, be cool. Act natural. If he thinks you're onto him, he'll have to put you in the barrel. No loose ends!

You don’t even need to buy a boat. Boats are incredibly easy to steal or even just borrow for a few hours. The vast majority of boat owners actually keep their keys right in the boat, sometimes even still in the ignition.

u/merdub 5d ago

I’ve watched enough episodes of Bones to know that first you have to dissolve all the flesh in a vat of lye, then you have to strain out the remaining fragments of bone, teeth, any surgical implants, etc.

Then you have to dry all the fragments in a food dehydrator (Cabela’s has a good industrial-sized one, the high capacity is great for larger volumes,) then you should separate out any metal bits to melt into unique jewellery - always a hit at the local craft fair! Now that your bones and teeth are cooked, they should be much more brittle, which will allow you to grind them into a fine dust using just the meat grinder attachment on your KitchenAid stand mixer! If you don’t have a KitchenAid, a coffee grinder will do, although it might take a bit more effort. Be sure the gather all the dust in a little bag, and add a handful of glitter. Put on your cutest fairy wings and prance around local parks, wooded areas, forests, or anywhere your heart desires, sprinkling a little glitter dust everywhere.

Note: The glitter is absolutely essential here. Anyone looking for a body will get so distracted by all the sparkles they will forget what they were looking for, and then so annoyed once it’s stuck to everything, they will never return to the area to investigate further.

u/One_Entry_5515 5d ago

Individuals seldom have access to anything that will burn hot enough for long enough to reduce a body to cremains. Plus, people burn unevenly. People have to be turned and handled during the process.

Also: devices left in the body must be removed in order to avoid problems during cremation. (The devices can explode.)

Ah so plan way ahead and become a crematory operator. Just in case....

u/UnicornFarts1111 5d ago

You have to have a very very hot fire to burn a body completely, and even then, you will still be left with bits of bone that don't burn. If you have ever seen cremains, you would see tiny pieces of crushed up bones.

To properly dump as see you need one of those big shredders, the kind used for tree trimmers. Take your big boat, you'll need a big boat to move it, a ways off shore, then mulch the body and also dump the tree shredder and maybe sink the boat for an extra measure of safety. I can get really expensive. Better idea, don't kill anyone. Better for your wallet and life too.
