I would say if you stabbed the person with an icicle, in your house, stuffed the victim in a big barrel, then toss the barrel into deep water. then, use a spotbot to clean up any blood, then empty the spotbot of potentially bloody liquid, then, they have no DNA evidence. oh, then move to a different house so the new owner will be pinned if the cops find out about the murder in THAT house, not the murderer's new house.

The best weapon would be to make the victim so depressed that they killed themselves by whatever means they chose. Then there would be no evidence and, even if you were connected to the victim in some way, you haven't technically committed murder.

"Lamb to the Slaughter", by Roald Dahl.

I've also read a tongue-in-cheek recommendation that if you want to kill a family member, take over the cooking chores and fix the richest, most fat and calorie laden meals possible. Combine with persuading your victim that regular checkups are a waste of money, and no one will ever question the cause of death . (You might want to sneak out to a gym every day, or you might not outlive your victim.)

Actually I was thinking more along the line of bio hazards like the Cone Shell snail or other such critter. Plus there are hundereds of toxins that mimick a stroke & or heart attack that the toxin would go untraceable.

I guess antigone is right. I read it back in grade-school in the 80's.
