So? Her body was totally decomposed. Are you suggesting that every murderer should cremate his victim and thereby get a free pass?

Murderers are convicted without the how of death proven..or the where and the why proven...

It's pretty good evidence of an unnatural cause of death when you turn up 90 miles away from your home and wash up on shore several months later, with your head and limbs missing. I don't think she went fishing that day, and fell overboard. I also don't think she walked or hitchhiked to the Berkeley marina to commit suicide. Oh, hey! I know! She died a natural death at home, and person or persons unknown decided that a burial in the bay would be nice, so they transported her there.

There have been other cases where no body at all was found, and therefore no cause of death could be established, but a conviction in the case resulted based on, shockingly, circumstantial evidence.

Many have been justly convicted without a body being recovered. (I've seen many of those trials.)
