I believe that all states in the US can charge with murder, without a body. But, specifically, Indiana does. https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2021/02/26/indianapolis-crime-how-murder-cases-work-when-victim-missing/4540872001/

Okay, I feel confident now that he’s a serial killer. I didn’t see in the article just when he lived in the house where human remains were found. That’d help clarify the timeline.

We need to face the facts. Our legal system does not, and should not, revolve around personal revenge OR personal forgiveness. It is best for the State of Idaho that a quadruple murderer be locked up for the rest of his life. Anyone who’s paid any attention to at all to jury trials will know...

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> I suspect that @Boxer is pointing out a little problem with the plan.

My guess is that they wanted something so weird that it’d get lots of attention in the media. The more, the better.

@katydid23 asked for: A: ritual sacrifices B: in recent memory A church bombing in the 1960s, in my opinion, satisfies neither of these criteria.

Church bombing 55+ years ago? That hardly seems relevant, or recent. MOO

Somehow, I doubt it. MOO

Wasn’t it definitely murder in the course of kidnapping? “Down the hill.”

That’s what I was visualizing, a ‘this is the last straw!’ meltdown of frustration and despair.
