If you were to commit a murder without getting caught, how would you do it?

Select a location far away from where you live. At least a few states away from you; at most, possibly in another country, one with more lax criminal justice infrastructure. Tell nobody you are visiting wherever you go. Take a trip out into the rural countryside and case the houses - who lives there, families, single residents, young men, old men....women and children, etc. Your approach depends on your desired prey: do you want to just kill a helpless old person, or do you want a challenge? Once you have selected your target, cut the power and phone lines to their home in the night while they sleep. You may confront your victim once your mask is on; you want the last thing they see to instill absolute terror into their hearts so that their soul will taste better to the thing that keeps whispering instructions to you in your head. Once they have been killed, recite The Ritual over the body...one down, five to go...
 
Like that one murder explanation from that one thing. I simply use magic, clearly!
Can't pin the blame on anyone if the door was never broken into, locked from the inside, and the guy has an icepick jammed in one of his vitals while his autopsy says he died a few months before despite everyone knowing he was alive till the funny murder and all evidence pointing to him being alive till that point from like every angle.

I mean of course you could always just fucking knife or gun them too and throw them in the woods or something that's always a classic that wouldn't require Riddler ass games.
 
Choose a victim unlikely to be investigated (like a hobo or a hooker) in a city with a high unsolved murder rate, and completely destroy the corpse after (such as melting it with acid or burning it at a high enough temperature to not leave bone fragments) so it stays a missing persons case indefinitely, if it even gets that far. It's not a murder investigation if there's no body and no evidence.
 
Apparently just dropping off a body either at a toxic site or that lake in Nevada is good enough to hide a body. You know how many stories I heard where they can’t find the perp because the body’s so old and messed up.
