I believe "no body, no crime" is a paraphrase of something PVDS did say....PVDS is a lawyer and maybe judge, he would absolutey know better. He could have said, "How do they know it is a crime when there is no body...''
Interesting point. Besides what ya'll said, something I have to keep reminding myself of is that most of what we hear & read about in this case has gone thru a language translation process. That adds a whole 'nother layer of confusion.
Excellent point and probably a big factor.
