How To Commit The Perfect Crime
Wichita Sedgwick County Crime Stoppers

Our generationloves crime shows. "NCIS", "CSI", "Forensic Files", "How To Get Away With Murder", "Making A Murderer" fascinate us. These shows have taught us a lot. Here are15 steps in order to commit the perfect crime:

1.) Have a plan.

Get in and get out as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

2.) Always wear gloves OR don't touch anything.

You'll leave fingerprints and DNA.

3.) Don't leave a paper trail.

The police will follow the money.

4.) Destroy all evidence.

Get rid of all of it.

5.) Make sure to do a sweep right before you leave to make sure that you didn't leave anything behind.

Make sure that there isn't anything left behind that can place you at the scene.

6.) Don't talk to the police without a lawyer.

Know your Miranda Rights.

7.) Beware of security cameras.

These cameras will place you somewhere and track your movements.

8.) Be random with your target.

The police will be able to link you more easily if you know your target(s).

9.) Don't be distinct.

Be as average looking as possible.

10.) Wear shoes that aren't your actual size.

Forensic science can calculate your height and weight based off of your shoes

11.) Destroy the clothes that you were wearing during your perfect crime.

Fibers and DNA can stay on clothing and it can be seen on cameras that can be used to identify you.

12.) Don't be an idiot.

Think.

13.) Don't use your car unless completely necessary.

Cars are so identifiable.

14.) Always have an alibi.

Put yourself somewhere else.

15.) Lastly and most importantly, don't commit crimes!

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
