Police in New Jersey believe they have solved one of the longest running murder cases in the state’s history: the disappearance of five Newark teenagers in 1978. After tracking leads for 32 years, two man were arrested on March 22 and charged with herding the teens at gunpoint into an abandoned row house, tying them up and torching the building, setting a blaze so so fierce police say the bodies were incinerated, destroying any evidence. Now prosecutors have a difficult task: prove the teens were murdered when their bodies were never found.
Murders without bodies were long considered one of the most complex challenges in the legal profession, but advances ion technology have made the one unthinkable prospect ore common. The absence of the key piece of evidence – the corpse – poses unique problems for both prosecutors and defense attorneys, according to Thomas “Tad” DiBiase, a Washington-based lawyer who runs a website chronicling “no body” murders. He said the majority of the cases end in convictions or guilty pleas. “The body can tell you how the murder occured,” he said. “It can tell you when the murder occured, it can tell you where the murder occured, so by taking away the body you take away all the elements from the case – that makes it enormously difficult.
”The New Jersey case was initially treated as a missing person’s case and no connections was made between the fire and the teens’ disappearances. In the decades since, any clues have been all but obliterated. The site of the fire is now a housing complex and additional case files were reportedly lost in a courthouse flood.
