I’ve always found the Pamela Sellers case particularly intriguing because it’s one of those rare instances where a murder conviction happens without finding the victim's body. That in itself is a testament to how strong the evidence and witness statements were. But it also leaves a haunting gap in the story. I keep thinking about what kind of impact it had on the jury to reach a verdict without that crucial piece of the puzzle. I wonder if there is still hope among investigators and her family that some new lead or technology might eventually bring more closure. It seems like echoes of this case still linger in the community, reminding us of how elusive justice can be, even when it's technically served. It must be incredibly difficult for her loved ones to have this unresolved element hanging over them for all these years. Also, does anyone know if there have been similar cases in Washington where a conviction was made without locating the victim?

I was reading up on the Pamela Sellers case from 1982 and I'm curious about something. How common is it for someone to be convicted of murder without a body being found? I know they got Nelson Sellers on second-degree murder based on witness statements and evidence, but without recovering Pamela's remains, it's hard to wrap my head around the process. Does anyone know of other cases with similar convictions in Washington state or elsewhere? It just seems like such an uphill battle for prosecutors, and I'm trying to understand how they piece things together without that crucial element. Anyone have insights or know of other cases that followed a similar path?
