Is there a Medical Examiner in the house?

[Calamity Jane]

I'm attempting to research a novel, and I need some expertise from someone who's experienced in gathering forensic evidence. Do I just call the county coroner/medical examiner and ask for an interview?

Since I'm specifically wondering about some of the best ways to dispose of a body, and eliminate trace evidence, am i going to end up on a 'watch list'? This is gonna be a great book, but I'm not sure it'll be worth men in dark suits knocking on my door in the middle of the night.

lime dust hides the scent of a buried body very effectively....

They offer forensic science as a degree at many universities now. Have you tried ordering a text book from one of these institutions? Then you would have a reference to check any time you need it.

Cheers,

The body won't be buried... so smell isn't really an issue.

I hadn't thought about the text book thing... that's an excellent idea.

burn, sulfuric acid, chop it into itty bitty peices, feed the peices to a neighboors dog, freeze it in a storage locker, put it in a sealed barrel and drop it off by the side of the high way, stick it in your enemies closet, file away all the teeth and burn the finger prints off, and drop it at a police station.

I've read so many "true crime" books that my dad once told me that I should be able to get away with any crime I wanted to commit.



Try calling the ME and explaining what you are doing. I'll bet you aren't the first person to call them.

Ok, here's teh deal. i want the body to be discovered, and i want there to be enough evidence to point to a specific person... it's a frame up, but it has to be a perfect, ironclad case against the person being framed... so I can't destroy the body, I can only dispose of it in an appropriate manner.

And to think this whole thing was inspired by my friend spilling her coke in my car

I said I was sorry..

but remember if you didn't drive so fast it wouldn't have happened in the first place.

I offered to have the carpets cleaned and you said no!
