Interesting tidbit while we all ponder where Nancy Guthrie may be. We all hope she will be found alive, but in the event she has passed where would her body be?
AI response to the question, “Where do murderers like to hide bodies?”.
Based on forensic research and historical criminal cases, murderers often select dump sites that balance isolation (to avoid detection) with accessibility
. These sites are often familiar to the offender, such as areas near their home, workplace, or along familiar travel routes.
Common dump sites used by murderers include:
Research into serial murder suggests that offenders tend to use "killing fields"—specific, recurring areas—that allow them to return to the victims to relive their crimes. Many of these sites are chosen because they are on the fringes of urban areas, often referred to as "the boondocks," where bodies can remain hidden for long periods.

Common dump sites used by murderers include:
- Remote or Wooded Areas: Heavily thicketed or forested areas that are accessible by car but out of public view are frequently used. Examples include Baltimore’s Leakin Park.
- Waterways and Swamps: Deep, murky, or remote bodies of water are commonly used, such as the Louisiana Swamps or various bayous.
- Roadsides and Deserts: Remote stretches of highways, particularly in high desert regions, are frequently used to dump bodies. The I-40 corridor in the US has been identified as a significant site for highway serial killings.
- Alleys and Urban Debris: In urban areas, victims are often discarded in alleys or behind buildings, sometimes covered by existing trash.
- Industrial Sites and Landfills: Abandoned industrial areas, construction debris sites, or landfill areas are used to conceal bodies.
- Properties Linked to the Offender: Studies indicate that in cases with preplanning, offenders are more likely to dispose of bodies on their own property, such as under homes, in crawl spaces, or in basements.
