A "Perfect" Murder

What is a perfect murder? It is when someone murders another (or a few more) and never get caught or found out. A murder that is planned so meticulously that the murderer can get away scot-free without anyone ever finding out, or the authorities have to let him go for lack of evidence. I am NOT advocating murder, but then if people are to commit murder, they should not be stupid enough to leave discriminating evidence around for the authorities to catch him up within a day or so.

Which is why I find the show Zodiac so captivating. The guy commits a series of murders, leaves his identity and a series of clues, leads the reporters and police on wild goose chases, yet in the end no one gets caught as the evidence turns to so many angles and there is not enough evidence to incriminate anybody.

A perfect murder should be something like this. And even though I do not advocate murder in any form, and find whoever who kills others heartless and cruel, but still, I sort of admire the intelligence and smarts of the Zodiac killer, because that is one intelligent and systematic person, whoever he is.
