It always struck me as ironic that "the perfect murder" is such a big trope in fiction, while in real life an astonishing number of them go unsolved.

- hawski 3y agoI think most (or at least significant portion of) perfect murders from fiction are murders of someone significant or the motive seems to be evident.
- SoftTalker 3y agoI agree. And in real life, when the deceased is at least somewhat known, and there is a clear motive, a suspect is usually identified. When a nobody is gunned down on a dark street corner in the middle of the night, for no apparent reason, and nobody in the area will talk to the cops, there isn't much that will lead to any suspects.
