Many factors affect the solvability of homicides, including body disposal location and time between death and recovery. The aim of this exploratory study was to probe a number of spatiotemporal variables for trends across a subset of solved homicide case data from 54 North American serial killers, active between 1920 and 2016 (125 solved cases) to identify areas for further research. We investigated murder site and body disposal site as location variables with eight subcategories across eight discrete time series, seeking insight into how these factors may affect the early stages of an investigation and (therefore by inference) solvability. The findings showed that bodies recovered after 48 hours are more likely discovered outdoor while those discovered within 24 hours, within the victim’s residence. This has implications for the ability to recover forensic evidence when bodes are located after a prolonged time since death as well as in more hostile environments.

串行凶杀的死亡和处置地点:对恢复时间表的影响

许多因素影响凶杀的可溶解性,包括尸体的处置位置以及死亡与恢复之间的时间。这项探索性研究的目的是探查多个时空变量,这些变量来自于54个北美连环杀手的已解决凶杀案数据的子集的趋势,活跃于1920年至2016年(125宗已解决案件),以确定需要进一步研究的领域。我们调查了谋杀地点和遗体处置地点,将其作为位置变量,在八个离散的时间序列中分为八个子类别,以寻求对这些因素如何影响调查的早期阶段以及(因此通过推断)可解决性的见解。调查结果表明,在受害者住所内发现48小时后恢复的尸体更有可能在室外发现,而在24小时之内发现的尸体则更多。
