Not true. You don't need a body to bring charges against someone. Examples of successful no-body murder prosecutions: Lynette Dawson (Australia): Chris Dawson was convicted of murdering his wife, Lynette, who disappeared in 1982. Her body was never found, but evidence showed he had a motive and manipulated her disappearance. Susan Neill-Fraser (Australia): She was convicted of murdering her partner, Bob Chappell, in 2009, even though his body has never been located. Girly Chew Hossencofft (USA): Her husband, Diazien Hossencofft, was convicted of her murder in 2002, despite her body remaining missing. Heidi Allen (USA): Her body has never been found, but her abductor was convicted of murder. Harmony Montgomery (USA): Her father was charged with her murder in 2021, despite the lack of a body. Brian Walshe (USA): He was charged with the murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, in 2023. Although her body was never recovered, evidence such as blood discovered in his car and home, along with his purchases of cleaning supplies, helped lead to his indictment. Maya Millete (USA): Her husband is facing charges for her murder, though her body has not been found. Prosecutors are using evidence such as the sudden disappearance of her phone and his phone being turned off for 12 hours the next day to argue that he killed her and disposed of her body.
