- "Introduction "How can you prosecute a murder without the body?" I cannot count the number of times I have been asked this question over the past ten years. My answer has always been the same: "Yes, it can be done and has been done, more times than you think." If murder is the ultimate crime, then a "nobody" murder is the ultimate murder. In our nation's history there have been just under 400 no-body murder trials, that is, trials where the victim's body has never been found. Now, for the first time ever, this book will provide a practical guide for police and prosecutors facing the challenges in these cases. This book takes an expansive look at both the history of no-body murder cases and the best methods to solve and try them. I will take the reader step by step from the first days of a homicide investigation through the trial of a case involving the ultimate law enforcement challenge: proving someone guilty of murder when the best piece of evidence, the victim's body, is missing. In doing so, I examine the history of no-body cases and discuss why these cases are so difficult to investigate and prosecute. All of this is through the lens of my own experience investigating and trying a no-body case and having consulted on scores of no-body murder cases with police and prosecutors across the country. Exploring the history of confessions, jailhouse snitches, and CSI-style forensics, "No-Body" Homicide Cases: A Practical Guide to Investigating, Prosecuting, and Winning Cases When the Victim Is Missing offers an insider's view of modern homicide investigative techniques"--
