This is where the dogs would be invaluable.
I mentioned a drone upthread. My thinking was that the corn would be noticeably disturbed, or would it quickly "retract" to cover any earthly remains?
Not a farm girl obviously. : )
I have been in quite a few corn fields hunting and some people may not realize how hard and firm the stalk is. A fully grown corn stalk is actually a little hard to break and so when walking in corn you avoid the stalk and walk around them.
JMO but if a killer was dragging a body into the corn I suspect he would drag it around the stalks and not knock down too many. The cornstalks are really firm and hard at the very bottom where they go into the ground. The diameter can be around 1 inch diameter when fully grown. So if he was dragging a body he would go around the stalks and they would not be knocked down much. Now his own upper body may bend some and break a few but overall I dont think there would be too much noticeable damage. JMO based on having to walk into grown corn.

If you do break and bend one in half they dont bounce back. They will stay bent over.
