You are quite an expert in this aren't you? I mean that will due respect, not sarcasm.
I also thought about the "shaking the ground" factor. A perp. might think twice about this method of evidence removal if he/she thought it would call attention to his/her actions.
However, if a perp. did do this, then that would be good for investigators, right, because they could track the seismic activity in the area.
So thank you for your response.
Every now and then, I get the idea for a murder mystery and I do a bunch of research to back it up. Then I start writing the thing and I *hate* what I wrote, so I toss it. If I can't stand to read it myself, what are the chances someone else will want to read it?
A bit frustrating but it motivates me to learn about all sorts of things I would not ordinarily find interesting. The research itself is probably what motivates me.
I think that if the perp knew about seismic monitoring, they probably wouldn't choose explosives underground as a method. Too risky. The question would be, how likely is it that the perpetrator would know?
My theory is that someone who has lived in an earthquake prone zone would be much more aware than people who live in places where earthquakes are rare.
