I still can't figure out how you can fit someone in a suitcase..

1. Knife. Big one.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Do you really want the answer?

But the person above suggesting a knife is but one of the many ways...

[RB TexLa]

3. Once the body is dead and you don't care about breaking bones I'm sure

it's not that difficult to physically stuff them into a suitcase.

[Flubadubya]

23. Would the killer really care about breaking bones BEFORE they're dead?

I guess some murderers are just the "sensitive type"... ya know. :evilgrin::shrug:

[RB TexLa]

25. I doubt it. I also doubt the person I was responding to is a killer. They asked the question

with what seemed to be a lack of understanding that the body would no longer be treated as a person and more as a pile of meat and bones.

[Flubadubya]

27. Oh, I know, I was just being...

:silly: :)

[Iggo]

26. It's easier after they're dead, I'm guessing.

They don't fight back, is what I mean.

[NMMNG]

4. Cuisinart?

Yeah, tasteless answer. But it's possible if the body is cut up into enough pieces and the suitcase is large enough.

[left is right]

19. I know I shouldn't have laugh but your answer was funny

Before I read your response I was thinking "folding them very neatly"

[proteus_lives]

5. How?

Chop-Chop. That's how. "shiver"

[EndersDame]

6. I am so messed up.. The Slap Chop

[Greyhound]

7. That guy just creeps me out. I'd never buy anything he was hawking. n/t

[Ghost in the Machine]

8. Oh... I thought you might be looking for some help...

:evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

9. You fold them up just like clothes.

Don't ask me how I know this. }(

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. Wasn't this the plot of Problem Child II?

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. ...or maybe "Boxing Helena", if you really want to dig into weird movies.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. I don't remember that one.

Was that a kids movie with a close up of pig testicles?

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. It might have been. I never saw it. I just know what it was about.

A typical "lonely guy" story. Doctor rescues woman from horrific accident and takes her home. Amputates her legs to save her life. Decides to amputate her arms as well. Later, she falls in love with him. Everyone lives happily ever after.

Except, I guess, the pig.:-)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. So he has a boxing match with an armless, legless woman?

Does she at least wear head protection?

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. Naw. She's tough. She took him seven out of ten rounds.

(You know, I could see us descending into some really bizarre and tasteless dark humor here, if we're not careful...O8))

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. We started with Problem Child II.

It doesn't get any lower than that.

[JVS]

14. With a saw

[backscatter712]

16. To quote from the movie Snatch:

Brick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are you?

Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

20. That's a no brainer:

[Incitatus]

21. It depends on the size of the body and the size of the suitcase.

Consider what a well trained contortionist can do.

Now imagine if they didn't have to worry about breaking anything.

[Dorian Gray]

22. Chop them up?

[Forkboy]

24. Clearly you've never seen Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer.

28. Ever see Fargo?

...A well-known freshman at Poquoson High School, Gornik had been gathering debris in piles and feeding them into a wood chipper that was attached to a truck.

Authorities believe he was using a shovel to push debris into the chipper when he was "pulled in completely," Bowen said.

Bowen said one worker was away from the chipper trimming limbs and the other worker was gathering debris when Gornik was sucked into the machine.

One of the workers heard the machine make a sound that "obviously something had gone in that shouldn't have, and he saw the accident in progress," Bowen said...

29. wouldn't it mostly depend on the size of the person and the size of the suitcase...?

i doubt that you'd be able to stuff the average american lard-ass into a carry-on bag...
but getting a proper sized person into an over-sized suitcase probably isn't all that difficult.

30. The answer is in the second paragraph of the linked article

The 36-year-old woman's name was not released, pending notification of her family. Police think she was strangled, Lt. Jeff Coulter said, and her body was not dismembered or otherwise harmed. She apparently was small enough to fit inside a large suitcase, police said.
