You really should think over saying that a little more. It's a big country and shovels and lye are cheap.

You don't need a body to find someone guilty of murder.
While true, it's kinda tangential here, no?
If you suddenly disappear with no markers of violent crime, it's unlikely they're going to jump to charging someone with murder on the grounds of "you were once extremely insensitive and rude to her".
I kind of feel like maybe they will do that pretty soon.
Sure but if you're in the US it's basically 50/50 you'll be caught.
You can thank Dick Wolf for the copaganda that murders and violent crimes get solved, but the reality is most don't. It's just uncomfortable to consider how ineffectual the police are given they consume huge portions of local and state budgets.
Oh absolutely, in my city (in Canada) we have the highest paid and least effective cops in the country. Our cops will gear up like they're in Afghanistan to arrest old grandmas in Fairy Creek but call them about an assault and see if you get someone that night.
When my friend was murdered(his dad attacked him, he fought back, and his dad shot him.) The cops knew his dad was a violent alcoholic, and that his son was trying to move out.
Except the dad was the only witness, and despite many people's statements about abuse and alcoholism in the household it was declared self defense due to "lack of evidence." He's free to walk around continuing to drink himself to death. Piece of shit.
My point is sometimes they don't even solve it correctly when the killer is standing right there.
The legal system is a fucking joke.
Sorry about your friend
Thank you
Not quite 50/50

Oh for overall crimes, absolutely, I was referring to just murder (https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/01/12/as-murders-spiked-police-solved-about-half-in-2020), but also keep in mind 'solved' means 'we convicted someone' which, you know...
Whether or not she gets away with it is small comfort to the dismembered corpse.
