IS THERE A PERFECT CRIME?
For centuries, writers have taught us the thousand and one ways to kill.
They have perfected methods, scenarios, weapons and alibis to elevate the
murder to the category of art. We often observe with horror the modus operandi
of current justice, of those who operate live and the inaction of the agencies
that must protect the victims look the other way, leaving cases unresolved, do
not confuse perfection with lack of discovery.
To conceptualize a crime as perfect, it only takes one fact and that the
perpetrator of the crime remains a mystery. Although most cases are discovered
sooner or later, some remain unresolved, because crime itself is a human
behavior or activity and humans by definition are imperfect. In TV series such
as CSI or Criminal Minds the culprit is caught after sophisticated analysis or
impeccable autopsies, but the reality is different; some do not get resolved
because a corpse is discovered very late and the evidence is very eroded,
Others because they are not in the investigation.
Although we would like all criminals to go to jail, it does not always
happen. There are those who manage to deceive justice and there are those who
almost achieve it.
Of those almost perfect crimes we have a lot to learn:
·
The
Unabomber
It is one of the most talked about cases in
the United States, in which a professor of mathematics attacked the nation
placing more than 15 bombs by mail, causing 3 deaths and more than 20 seriously
injured. The name of the protagonist of
such atrocious act is Theodore Kaczynski. More
than 50 million dollars were invested for its capture, without
success; because The Unabomber did of his for 17 years. It was not until 1996
that his younger brother, David Kaczynski, he
gave him away, charging a reward of a million dollars.

Murder
with sexual mobile
A cleaning woman found last February 21, 2008, the lifeless body of a 35-year-old girl suffocated inside a flat in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona. The body was found with a plastic bag tied around the neck. The Mossos d'Esquadra found in a nearby room a wig that, incidentally, was the hair of the victim. Everything pointed towards a sexual mobile and that's where the investigations went, but the truth is that the security forces did not see it clearly. According to police sources, the detainee disguised herself, with a wig included, supplanting the identity of their employee to take out life insurance, of 125,000 euros, of which the owner of the company benefited If he pretended to be the victim. if he impersonated his identity, he could collect the insurance. To disguise the motive of the crime, he hired the services of some men who engage in prostitution. He paid them 70 euros in exchange for his sperm, which the detainee picked up and poured down the legs of the victim to simulate sexual assault. Finally, the skill of the policies pointed to the victim's boss, as her murderer, who has already been arrested as the material author of the events and has been imprisoned.
