What a creepy thread. I suppose if someone has gone into witness protection they won't be looked for while their loved ones will think they're a dead victim of a criminal lifestyle. There must be so many places to hide a body which is pretty scary. Canals, rivers, the sea or in woods where hardly anyone goes. It could be fairly easy to drive to a remote part of Scotland and dump someone in a Loch or bury them in the countryside where hardly anyone goes. I saw a film once about a murderer who had built an underground den in the middle of a field and killed a girl after luring her away. I think it was called "Lovely Bones". It was horrible. The story about someone screaming on the end of the phone and never being seen or heard again is proper creepy if it's true. Eeeewww it all makes me shudder.

Well you are quite safe Pink.

I have only killed thirty seven victims so far and I am having a well earned break because the torture dungeon under the shed is rather full atm.

If one intends to start a new life, it's not that easy actually, somewhere along the line, there's always a paper trail, one just needs to know where to start.
Indeed. Look at people that are given new identities after being witnesses or having committted certain crimes. Most of them get 'discovered' eventually. It's only a matter of time.

To slip off the radar, you'd new to have no contact with existing friends or family, don't enter any real life information anywhere, have mail delivered to a PO box, no bank accounts or credit cards, no phone calls to anyone that knows you or any organisations where personal information may be given out, no NHS treatment or claiming benefits, no travel abroad, unless you have a complete set of fake documents. And even then you might be spotted and reported to the authorities. If you've committed a serious crime your fingerprints and/or DNA may be on file, so you may be caught that way if you re-offend.

IMO, if it was that easy more people would do it.

Unfortunately, many people that have gone missing will be found dead in suspicious circumstances eventually.

That actually sounds quite similar to the Golden Girls.

A rare example where the second series was as good as the first. I hope they do go ahead with S3.

A subject I am fascinated with,

Numerous cases that are just so strange Missing 411 is a place to start Truly fascinating

Cases that haunt me are Andrew Gosden, Maura Murray and the weirdest of all Johnny Gosch,

Most of the time when a person goes missing the early stages of the investigation are a screw up, by the time the police got round to Looking at CCTV in the case of Andrew Gosden they had all been wiped, did he meet someone? where did he go after leaving the station, all these could have been answered if the police had acted quickly

It does? In what respect?

That it was, and I've been searching for news of S3 - I assume it's still under review or something? If the last two seasons have aired in May, Season 3 is going to have to be later if there's still no green light on it's production.

The case of Melanie Hall came to mind.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Melanie_Hall

Missing in 1996 and then her remains were found by accident 13 years later by workers clearing vegetation at the side of a motorway.

There are thousands and thousands of locations all over the country that rarely if ever see human contact. A lot of these are quite close to civilisation too but you'd never know unless you went looking for them.

Yeah, that's the last I heard. I think from memory S2 started a bit oddly but it settled down nicely. I think the pod re-entry might have been better just showing it starting, then jump forward to the chaos for those excluded then jump forward to empty streets. Maybe they could have had a story arc around a few people who were excluded.
