Even though this article is not specific to this case I thought it was interesting on how they go about prosecuting "no body" murder cases.
How difficult is it to convict a suspect of murder if there is no body and no weapon, such as in the Sam Parker case?
Tad DiBiase says its easier than one might think.
DiBiase, a former homicide prosecutor from Washington, D.C., shed light on no body cases.
DiBiase has collected more than 200 no body homicide cases, including several other Georgia cases beyond the Sam Parker case, which can be researched on his blog at nobodycases.blogstream.com.
According to DiBiase, the biggest obstacle that a no body prosecution faces is proving that the person was actually murdered. This allows for two components.
The first would be to prove that the actual person is deceased, while second would be proving that that person was actually murdered.
