The perfect murder

[Rich]

So, I guess using a .38/.357 in one hand and a 9mm in the other, and firing both as near to simultaneously as possible into the noggin of the target wouldn't screw up the evidence enough to be worthwhile.

And, getting rid of the evidence by tossing them into separate lakes really wouldn't work here in El Paso, as I'd have to go to New Mexico to find a second lake that doesn't dry up in the summer.

Well, there goes plan C.

John Ross's Unintended Consequences has a lot of good ideas on the topic.

And now that I've read this thread I can't get THIS out of my head. It's been a while. Still one of my favorite albums.

If you were to kill someone, how would you go about it?

If I tell you, then it is no longer the perfect murder, is it?

I work in a steel mill. I doubt seriously if a human body, dropped into a 350-ton furnace full of molten steel (average tap temp is 2890 F) would raise the carbon measurement enough to be detectable.

The charge bucket holds roughly 120 tons of mixed scrap.

I have several good friends who work on the melt deck/drive scrap trucks/load scrap into the trucks.

A body dropped into molten metal would not sink. It would simply sit on the surface and burn up. I would think someone might notice.

The body doesn't go into the furnace on top of the mix, it goes in the scrap that is going to be melted. Our electric arc furnaces reduce 300 tons of scrap to liquid in about 40 minutes.

I'm skeptical, let's try it...

This sounds like the makings of a particularly entertaining Mythbusters episode.

I can think of several people I'd like to volunteer for this!
