If he were smart and careful enough to clean up everything else and not let any dna get tracked into his apartment I just can't imagine that leaving the torso in the trash can was a "mistake". Yes it IS a good method but not when you KNOW the police are going to be back first thing in the morning, quite possibly before trash pickup!
If he made a conscious decision to do that he would have to know there is a BIG risk involved, and why take that risk unless you WANT IT KNOWN this is a murder and not a missing person? Maybe committing the perfect murder doesn't count unless it is a KNOWN murder? I don't understand that logic as I would think it absolutely DOES count, but maybe they wanted the crime to be recognized, documented and hit the press. Course there was still the chance it wouldn't be found but still it was a huge risk.
There is only one other logical reason I can think of to take that risk, and that would be if the odor was really bad and he didn't want to put it in the trunk of the car. Maybe he was worried the car trunk (or the whole car)would smell really bad and that would lead the police to him.
BBM. In my theorizing, I definitely return to the idea that IF McD did this, there is a literary goal. It might still count as the perfect murder if nobody ever knew for sure there was a murder, but it would be much more interesting and sell alot more books if the country knew some of the gory details.
I also notice you said "they". Do you think there could have been an accomplice, or was that a typo? It would sure be interesting (and potentially exculpatory) if some unidentified person's DNA were found on the remains and, say, the hacksaw.
