This happened in my area. A 46-year old woman and her 24-year old daughter lived next door to their 77-year old mother/grandmother. The mom and daughter killed dear old grammy and cashed all her checks. They just left the old lady's body in her house. There's no exact date, but it seems this all went down in the fall of 2017. It was all just discovered last week.

So I guess, just leave the body in the house?

If the old codger died of natural causes it's a very bad idea to get rid of the body and collect the checks. Best to keep the body so all you are facing is fraud charges and not murder. These things are sometimes in the news and the simple 'wrap the body in multiple garbage bags, use a lot of duct tape and hide it in a closet' seems the way to go.

But, in the spirit of things, I'd get rid of a body this way:

Cut it into smallish pieces, find out the date that the document shredder truck shows up at the local UPS store, stuff the bag w/ ripped up paper, toss in a piece, and just hand it over to the clerk in the morning of that day. And pay w/ cash, ldo.

Bernie Tiede just put the corpse of the woman he killed in a freezer. He got away with spending her money for almost a year. There's a great movie called Bernie which is about it. Linklater and Jack Black.

I used to watch The Shield a lot, so I guess wrap in many, many layers of cello and then keep in the garage

Buy a shovel and a gallon of water and bury her in the desert nekkid. If you're feeling unlazy, cut off her head and hands first and bring those to the dump.

It's rather disheartening that most people would make such poor criminals.

Bass, obviously. It's good. And Bud Lite isn't beer. It isn't anything at all. And we don't have long, so a six-pack is redundant. And Bass is a reminder of Manet's beautiful Bar At The Folies-Bergeres, painted as a farewell to the good life when the artist himself was dying, with the British beer foregrounded because, like most of the clientele at the Folies-Bergeres, Manet wouldn't drink German beer after the war of 1870.

This guy thought he had a brilliant corpse-disposal wheeze, but I'm afraid he got caught all the same, and we still had the public hangman in those days, so it didn't work out very well for him.

I sorta helped play game in real life. My sister's boyfriend was in hosp on his death bed. They were trying to keep him comfortable on a lot of meds and it was just a matter of time. He couldn't eat but could drink a little.

He begged me to bring him a coke, a real full sugar coke in a bottle. (He was dying of long term symptoms related to diabetes.)

Next day I snuck a bottle. Sister was pissed but the guy was thrilled. Happier than I'd seen him in a while, just from seeing the bottle. I took a pic of him with it in fact.

Blah, he couldn't drink much of it though, just a few sips.

So in his honor/memory I know he'd choose the real deal shiat, not that bud light crap.

Field dress is probably correct as a start if we were not slothful.

This reminds me of an old neighbor who died of throat cancer. They would not let him have his coffee and cigarette on his deathbed.

This has always struck me as incredibly cruel.

57 on red: I wonder if that was the inspiration for that plot in breaking bad. Cool article, never heard of him before.

Reasonable start; I assume you feed the coyotes the guts and other scrapes.

It depends on when the trailer park dumpster gets emptied. I don't really want to go for a hike with innards if I can help it.

I'm trying the neighborhood dogs first, of course, but time is of the essence with this part.

I pour myself a stiff drink.

You should put the corpse in the oven. Think about it.

You're apparently a lazy bum, so you never cook. Chances are, your kitchen isn't used to cook food so probably has a foul smell anyways, plus I'd guess the oven does a pretty good job of hiding the stench of decay, right?

It's a totally believable story. Your relative is old and likely getting a little loopy. They just feel tired and wound up sleeping in whatever was near. Who would ever think to look in an oven for their parents? You can even file a missing person report, have the police come by with sniffing dogs, and even they wouldn't look (not speaking from any authority here).

When is the last time anyone here ever opened their oven? At best, your oven is an extra cabinet for pots and pans you never use.

There is the small issue of dead people smelling somewhat bad...

If the cops mention the smell from the oven just say that it's meatloaf and the smell is because you're bad at meatloaf. Then ask if they want to stay for dinner and watch them run away.
