Typical murderer takes his victim to the cemetary to be discarded... one problem here, there are other factors to consider before taking the deceased to a cemetary. First of all there is this thing called MURDER that must be addressed. Then the killer must be arrested and charged with said murder and face the consequences of why and how he decided to kill another person. The body, final resting place and and burial site must be adhered to with certain steps takened. To just take the dead persons body to a cenetary and drop it off is not ideal and not following proper procedures. It even more sad that a Baldwin County murderer is using the Mobile area as a dumping ground for their henious crimes. Maybe he heard that most murderers get a pass in Mobile County and he is taking his chances that Mobile County will arrest him and the Judges and Bonding companies will allow him easy freedom and a slap o the wrist in the corrupt Mobile justice system.
