You’d be surprised how many people search the phrase “how to cover up a murder” or something similar … we’ve seen these phrases pop up from time to time on Brainz. But quite honestly, we didn’t have an article to help those desperate souls. However, after doing a little look around, we now have the answer thanks to the site Top Criminal Justice Schools.
Thankfully, they’ve done this as a tongue in cheek joke, as an ode to the show Dexter. But still, it makes you wonder… why do so many people search this on Google?
