What would it take for you to kill someone?

Easy, buy a junker with no title off of someone anonymously.

The next part it gets tricky. If I wanted something long and extensive, and noisy, the woods are the only real option, but the echo might give you away so gagging is always the best option.

Watch social media to find a victim that lives alone, eventually they will post something about where they work and from there you can follow them home and observe their routine and find out if they have a dog. Dogs mean don't try it. Everyone should own a dog, they're better than burglar alarms. Break in when I figure they'd be asleep.

Since I'm a large strong male I'd incapacitate the victim with a choke hold to make them pass out, making sure to use a stun gun for good measure, make sure their vitals are stable and they are properly bound before loading them into a trunk covered in plastic wrap.

Head to woods, do deed, slit body like a fish fillet and puncture organs/intestines for faster decomposition and to pre-release any gasses that would shift topsoil. I'd have already prepared a cylindrical hole about 8-10 feet deep and only a couple of feet wide, since most people do the easy and stupid thing and bury bodies horizontal, this throws people off. Douse the body in doe urine. Close hole and add small dirt mound to combat wind and settling.

Leave. Resell car anonymously either to a private owner or for scrap. Both have their risks.

Pros:New private owner becomes new owner and that presents investigators legal hurdle when searching. Plus, new owner could have done the deed. Possible scapegoat if I missed a stray hair in the trunk.

Cons: would identify me and give them the throw away email I'd used to contact them. Still, physical description is bad, right? Wrong. Sunglasses, hoodie, baggie clothes. Possibly lipstick and definitely a fake accent. Lipstick on a man, that sticks out right?

Right, but that's what I want. I don't have cross dressing tendencies, but investigators would come to the conclusion the hypothetical bad guy did have them and build an entirely incorrect idea of who he was.

Maybe someone saw me casing the house? Nope, that's where dogs come in again. Walk a dog in the neighborhood. And next to the house, your dog will know if there is a dog there. But possibly you could go to the door in a suit/Bible and pull the Mormon trick, that's plan B. Be friendly if in rural area, standoffish in city. Act like you belong. Never fails.

But if you don't care about hearing the person it's much easier. Just do the first part, then gag/tie them and do whatever. Like the BTK did. Wear latex gloves, mask, etc.

Absurdly easy. Woods overcomplicate things bringing forensic evidence from a car into the picture and raising the probability of being caught.

Doing whatever you want to someone who lives alone in a home would be simple. Which is why when I lived alone, I always booby trapped my doors and windows or blocked them off with heavy objects and slept with a weapon handy.

Then again I was the crazy doomsday prepper type, and normal people don't do those things. Hell, they probably don't even have a deadbolt. A normal knob lock is easy to get past and chains are a joke.

Of course, I'd never do any of this because I'm exceptionally lazy and self absorbed and don't lift a finger unless it gets me money or pussy. But it would make for a good novel.
