Could you commit the perfect crime?

Or would you get caught?
I'm sure if I was to kill someone I wouldn't get caught. I would plan it for at least 3 years, repass the plan everyday and go for it only after I was totally confident. I think in that way there's no miss. I'm confident I wouldn't get caught.
I was watching this crime show, so many get caught in impulsive things. The worst thing to do is to kill someone in a fight. They always get caught cause they are mad.
I don't think in killing anyone! hahaha, I read and am the #1 fan of amazing gorgeous Agatha Christie and love psychology and crime, so after giving a thought waiting a long time is the perfect crime.

I think you would have to be lucky as well as good. Real life is full of tiny variations that cannot be predicted. If just one piece of your plan gets caught by dumb luck it can reveal you or at least cause you to slip up in reaction to it.
Agatha Christie is a favorite of mine as well. Sometimes, as she showed, a killer could seem to get away with murder, but a detective willing to follow their hunches can fluster the killer into giving themself away.

If you think the crime is perfect and you feel that no one will catch you. You might think again because there might be a perfect detective who can see right through your plan. I love detective stories and if I will create a perfect crime, not necessarily killing someone, it will still take years before it will be perfected.

Me too dear, I love it so much that sometimes I think and of course, not thinking in actually doing it. But reading Agatha Christie's or watching things like CSI I think 'wow, I would never do that.' I mean how a murderer gets angry if provoked, shouldn't he know already the detective will try to push him? They must be first of all, good actors :D

I know this conversation is all in fun, but I find it a little creepy
to be talking about getting away with murdering someone,which is a really big sin, in God's eyes, if you believe in him. I don't think anyone truly gets away with murder, because someone knows what you have done, you know! Can anyone live,in perfect peace,with those thoughts running around in his or her head everyday for many years to come? I think not. You cannot hide you demon under a rock and move on with your life as if nothing has happened.

Sure dear it is. It's really for fun, for Agatha Christie's, CSI or Dexter fans. More than committing the perfect crime this discussions foccused on can me, you really plan something so perfectly that no one would ever find out? Of course any plans wouldn't have anyone on our tail so only a crime :D

I see that you are looking for some ideas to commit a crime. I cannot help you : it would be a case of complicity
.
The main problem is the corpse. A crime can seem perfect during thousands of years and be discovered someday by an archaeologist : you know, these cadavers found in a wall, in the cement of a floor, or in a filled well. I believe it is frustrating for the criminal who thought he committed a perfect crime
. To avoid this, I think I would began by a training course among a cannibal tribe, or by buying a pack of starving wolves. Well, something natural and non-polluting, as I am environmentally conscious.

That's a funny question. I think I could, I'm saying that with my "experience" of 5 years watching a lot of criminal series (I love almost all of them!). The rookies mistakes I know I would not commit, but one of the only crime that I watched that they knew it who was the killer but they couldn't prove it was a case of a woman that poisoned her husband so I would probably chose that way too.

great answer, thanks.
I love crime shows too, that's why I find so entertaining, one thing I learned from the real life crime's show 48 hours (a tip to you to watch, you're gonna love it, csi, dexter shows impossible things, the real life shows are more intersting and sometimes seems fiction as murderers can be so creative sometimes) and most of the killers were too self confident on getting away with it, so I thought there might need 2 things to a perfect crime: self confidence, all killers have and TO PLAN wich most of them don't do it.
the poison idea of yours is intersting in a way that if it's given really little for a long period of time (like sixth sense) it's not even suspicious cause the person seems sick, but there are rookies that give a great dosage in like one week, that's just stupid, if it's too suspicious they will test the blood
but in the same time, how many people poisoned to kill and got away? it's scarry

Even I'm a huge fan of crime/thriller novels. So, yeah. Maybe we can pull it off by just reading all those spine chilling psycho novels and big mafia crimes etc. But the author who wrote "the perfect crime" novel always made sure the bad guys are caught in the end. :-)

There is no such thing as the perfect crime. Someone always knows, and will follow you around for the rest of your life! That person is You! You will never be able to forgive yourself, and would lose so much sleep over it, you would end up turning yourself in!

they say that the crimes people get away with are the ones they did not plan because the more you plan the more likely you will mess up somewhere.. i think id get caught only because i would over think everything.. i would prob put so much effort into covering my tracks it would bring attention to myself lol

First thing is that i don't like crime and i hate criminals so the fact here is that if i will not commit a crime and i won't worry about getting caught and yes crime never pays and one will get caught definitely in the future because human beings tend to make mistakes.

I could definitely commit the perfect crime. These steps would help anyone commit the perfect crime: Wear gloves, a mask, and clothes you do not care for, once the crime is committed burn the clothes, mask, and gloves, you could even burn the place where the crime was committed. Also keep quite about what you did, if you keep your mouth shut no one will ever no but you.

Hi katie: Oh no. First of all my philosophy of life and my moral values are so strong that I think I would never plan to kill someone for years! Life is not something you can take from someone without a consequence so I wouldn't be abvle to create the perfect plan. But if I someday make the big mistake of killing someone, I am sure I'd feel so guilty that I will just run adn confess everything to the police. I couldn't live in peace with this.
