Is it possible to commit any crime and get away with it? I'd never dream of commiting a crime but still feasibly could it be possibe and what would you have to do? Heres my idea say for a murder:

Get an icicle and wear an enviroment suit and then after the crime blast it into space. *BRUSHES HANDS*.

Hi svwillmer,
Well... some crimes remain unsolved. So I guess some people do get away with it... even if it's by dumb "luck".

Cheers

The code was written by Volker Springel of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics at Garching Germany. This simulation uses 20,000 disk particles (stars) and 40,000 halo particles (dark matter) per galaxy. The three views are, from left to right, the x-y plane, x-z plane, and y-z plane.

An icicle is not a good weapon, unless you plan to drop 500 kilograms of ice on your victim from a height...

Ice would break almost as soon as you stabbed your victim. Also would break if you just smashed him. You can't fire it like a bullet nor as an arrow nor as a crosbow bolt... maybe you would be able to sling it, but, don't know how much punch would it have at all...

And on the other way, blasting things into space is not the quietest, most unnoticeable way to get rid of evidence... Laughing

Not to mention the fact that blasting the evidence into space would not be feasible at this time, because of the limited access to Space. Besides, Blasting it off into space after commiting the crime on Earth (I presume) would make no sense, as you would have to carry it into space. Either way, Why the Icicle? Question

You would come from behind wearing latex gloves, and smash a large block of ice on their head in order to knock them out, them shove allot of snow into their mouth and their throat-suffocation. Twisted Evil

Its a Russian mafia technique....but they restrain the guy while putting snow into their mouth; even better, because then when the snow melts, theres absolutely no evidence left over...no evidence of homicide even.

Come on, any intelligent person on this forum could get away with murder I think...well, maybe its just because I used to watch too much CSI.

Another one; heard from a Dan Brown book-come from behind with a cloth with paint thinner on it (or some other type of nasty chemical), put it on his mouth to cause him to temporarily pass out, then take a hypodermic needle filled with air, and inject into artery of your choice...

In fact, its scary how easy it is! (Thats why I take many forms of martial arts) There are allot of sick people in this world who use techniques like that-they just never report cases where those techniques are used and the murderer gets away with it; it would make those who want to commit a crime get a sense of megalomania, perhaps convincing them that it is easy to get away with it. Instead, on T.V. you only see things where they don't get away with it-and they need to keep doing that.

the thing which catches most people out(unless their DNA/fingerprints are on file already is that they kill someone they know. if you were to kill a random person in a random place with a random weapon you could kill hundreds without being caught, although that probably misses the point entirely since why the hell wolud you want to kill someone you didnt know.

Where did you get this information that 'alot' of people are like serial killers????

That's rubbish

Serial killers are very few and far between compared to the ratio of people in the world!

As for a crime that you could get away with, well that's easy

Most crimes like murder for instance are solved because either the victim knows the killer and is easily linked with a motive.
Or the killer leaves evidence like DNA.

If i went out tonight and just picked someone at random, murdered them and disposed of the body effectively. There is little chance i would get caught.

The victim would just wind up on the missing persons register and remain a mystery.

Perhaps you could disease a person without them knowing so and then they eventually die from it? o.O

It's possible for a perfect crime to happen. For example, your mom tells you not to eat cookies that she made but then later on you decide that you want to eat the cookies. So then when she finds out that someone ate her cookies you'll lie to her and said you didn't eat them in order to prevent yourself from getting into any trouble. Thus creating the perfect crime to ever be done in history. Cool
