Doing research for a psych mystery thriller so... :mrgreen:
Here's the scenario: putrefied skeleton is found in a secret room hidden in basement of a foreclosed house and is currently unidentified. The last renter had prior convictions for drug dealing and statutory rape (the previous owners were a deceased old couple). Detectives fail to identify the body- so far- all they have based on forensics is that it is a young woman with sprouted wisdom teeth, but they are unable to match DNA or dental due to the fact that they don't know who to base it on. Can this suspect be charged for imprisonment and murder even if the body is as of yet unidentified?
Any suggestions welcome!
