Where to Commit the Perfect Crime



An awful lot of obviously guilty people get away with crimes because of technicalities. There's a glaring loophole of geography and law in a small part of Yellowstone National Park that causes it to be known as the Zone of Death. No, not because people die there, but because it might happen someday, and if it was murder, the perpetrator could conceivably get away with it. The park exists in three different states, which makes jurisdiction kind of complicated, and the way the laws are worded would make any trial very complex, if not impossible. So if you want to commit the perfect crime, well, just don't. Even if the long arm of the law can't get you, karma will. Tom Scott explains what's going on in the Zone of Death, which is only on paper. In real life, no one lives there, and people rarely go there. It's just fine for bears and bison, however -they don't even bother with criminal trials.

Rest assured that more and more murders (and other crimes) will be solved thanks to facebook, tiktok and instagram because the perpetrators are stupid and feel it necessary to post their crimes to these media sites.

Okay, the crime seems to be not perfect, but rather non-trialable. This would open a loophole so that the Sherriff may take the "perfect murderer" to investigate the case at the crime scene, and in an attempt to reconstruct the crime, shoot a bullet to the accused's head... case closed... A loophole also works for the rest of society...
In my opinnion a percect cirime is always the one not even noticed, so presumable there are tons of perfect crimes, just noone knows about.. ;-) ;-(
