That’s not a good number to base your calculations on. Getting away with any crime nowadays is extremely difficult if the police and prosecutors are willing to invest significant resources in investigating and prosecuting it. How much they’ll be willing to invest heavily depends on all sorts of circumstances, even when it comes to the most serious crimes.
In particular, murders and other violent crimes are investigated far more vigorously if committed in a respectable environment, in a way makes high-status people feel unsafe.
Really? One of three murders in the U.S. go unsolved.
