As I was reading this, Mr. Sofie looked uneasy and then walked away.

Muahahahahahahahaha!

In the 70’s, people in the Florida town I lived in who pissed off the authorities had a way of disappearing.  I always suspected they were fed to the alligators in the swamps or to the sharks offshore.

Funny enough, that does work well.  In my case it was a steel drum, not plastic, and it was about 8 miles off the Jersey shore.  But yeah, it works, folks.

Often the simplest solution is best. Aerobic moist soils work wonders. A friend's brother went for a jog  near Choads neck of the RI woods in the mid 1990s and never came back. State parkland, sunny day, well traveled trail, well built marathon runner, car with wallet and phone found untouched in parking lot. Yeah he was an accountant and lawyer, but investigators found no known enemies. My friend, his sister, was all over the local channels for days appealing for help to search. Volunteers and dogs combed the area for a week. Nada.

4 years later someone came across a bone some animal had scattered. A quick shallow, but thorough grave was unearthed just off the trail half a mile from his car right under a spot they walked over in the search. By then all evidence had decomposed, suspected gunshot or strangulation with help of a bag, but no clue has ever appeared.

I would think that the $100 spend on a woodchipper rental would be money well spent.

I briefly considered using a wood chipper and composting its output the last time I needed to dispose of a body.  I gave up on the plan because my property isn’t private enough, and someone on the board pointed out my compost would be ruined.

There was a young man named Dave
Who kept a dead whore in a cave
He said "I admit
I'm a bit of a shit,
But think of the money I save."

I live near a small but commodious forest that opens its leafy arms to a steady influx of corpses - mostly suicides, but the occasional gang hit or DIY divorce. If you train your nose, you can sometimes find a pretty girl beneath the lich mould. They're loose, they're gassy, and their eyes aren't always in their sockets, but it's free, no chit-chat, no foreplay, and you don't have to buy them presents. If they're still fresh you can flip them over (I've yet to find one buried face down) and treat them to a little pain-free anal.

Ah, but what a way.... (But I'd give it up for you, George.)

Magnets, sonar and metal detectors drive me towards plastic. Also, big river beds tend to "absorb" more than the ocean floor. 400 lbs of plastic, cement and bad-guy disappear under the soil of a major river bed.

Of couse, this is only speculation on my part. I would have no way of knowing if this is really a good idea or not. Disposing of bodies is not my bag....

Yeah, I absolutely agree on the plastic being harder to detect, but I was kinda in a hurry at the time and the oil drum was easy to grab... besides, I figured that the metal drum would rot a lot faster and would be harder to see on the sea floor.  And if you've ever been diving off the Jersey shore, you'll find loads of those old drums anyway, so it would be really hard to find the one that my little trespasser is in.
