S1 E18 No Body No Crime

'The ultimate act of control. I killed you, but nobody knows where you are' -Tad Dibiase, Author of No Body Homicide Cases.No body, no crime. Right now, on Vancouver Island, I know of several missing person cases which I am reasonably certain are homicides. But in the absence of a body, I appreciate that it is challenging for police to lay charges. But it's not impossible.Thomas A. (Tad) Dibiase has been studying consulting and writing about no-body murder cases for close to 20 years. He got started as a prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office in DC. He is the author of No-Body Homicide Cases:   A Practical Guide to Investigating, Prosecuting and Winning Cases When the Victim is Missing. In this episode, I speak with Tad about the challenges of finding justice when you can't find a body, and I ask him to reflect on Lisa Marie Young's case.https://www.nobodycases.com/my-book/ Hosted on Acast.
