You don't need a body to find someone guilty of murder.

Sure but if you're in the US it's basically 50/50 you'll be caught.

You can thank Dick Wolf for the copaganda that murders and violent crimes get solved, but the reality is most don't. It's just uncomfortable to consider how ineffectual the police are given they consume huge portions of local and state budgets.

Oh absolutely, in my city (in Canada) we have the highest paid and least effective cops in the country. Our cops will gear up like they're in Afghanistan to arrest old grandmas in Fairy Creek but call them about an assault and see if you get someone that night.
