    If planning on being a serial killer, run a barber shop or something where literally thousands of people leave their DNA on-site, and your DNA is on literally thousands of other people.

      Apparently there was a case where one woman’s DNA kept turning up at multiple crime scenes. Turned out she was a worker at a cotton swab factory.

      You can even work with your local meat pie shop to assist with the body disposal! The perfect accomplice!

    Become a blood splatter specialist for your local police department. Only target the most evil and guilty of people for your “killing spree”. If they start catching on, fake your death and move north.

      Eh just become a regular cop. Then all you have to do is either take a paid vacation or move a county over when you’re caught. Then the city will handle body disposal, you don’t need a boat or ocean access.

    This might backfire if you get caught committing a crime, as they might peg you with conspiracy to commit hundreds of others. So don’t get caught, I guess.

        An actual good cover would be writing crime fiction. Then you’re not just researching how to do crime for no apparent reason, you’re taking an interest in crime for constructive purposes.
