Call for ideas : how to dispose of a corpse

Terminal velocity in a flat dive (like pancaking into a pool) is 32f per second sq, or 120mph BELOW 15, 000 ft. The higher you go, the thinner the atmosphere and the higher terminal velocity is. Also, tucking in your arms and legs will cause your speed to increase as you reduce the wind resistance, up to 200mph below 15,000ft. The theory (unproven, naturally) is that an unprotected body dropped from a height of 100,000ft would flash freeze and break apart as it tumbled towards the earth, similar to an ice cube shattering. Any remains would scatter over an area over 500 sq miles, blown by 'winds aloft'.

they chop the body up (offscreen, keep it easy) and put the pieces into a box. They plan to drive somewhere to dump the body, but the guy carrying the box leaves it on the trunk of the car and it falls off as they drive away. A kindly old lady walking by sees the box and places it into her rolly cart and walks away... to be continued.

Or, have them put it in a duffle bag. Then they keep getting sidetracked on the way to the burial spot and have to keep dragging this bag around with them, until at some point they realize they don't have it anymore and can't remember what they did with it... to be continued.
