Connecticut prosecutors have gotten convictions in a few cases in which the body hadn’t been found. Investigators determined that Juan Disla of Meriden, a drug dealer who disappeared in 2000, had been murdered and dismembered, with acid used to help destroy his remains. Four men were ultimately convicted, including Robert Marrow, Lawrence Smith, Miguel Estrella and Jonathan Rivers. In that case, investigators got Estrella on tape describing the crime to a prison cell mate, and Marrow testified in exchange for a reduced sentence.
