Research on body disposal methods in cases of sexual homicide primarily focused on the movement of the victim’s body from the crime scene to the dump site. Comparatively, little work has looked at whether crime scene analysis can indicate the final manner of disposal (i.e., how the body is found at the scene), despite the knowledge that these unique behaviors can aid investigators narrowing down suspects using readily available information from the crime scene. The current study used 662 solved cases of extrafamilial sexual homicide from an international database in a sequential logistic regression to test various predictors against the method of body disposal. Results indicate that inserting foreign objects into the victim, dismembering the victim, or engaging in post-mortem sexual activity is predictive of not openly displaying the body. Furthermore, the body is less likely to be openly displayed if the victim is a sex worker. Overkill is more likely to lead to the body being openly displayed. Implications for investigations of sexual homicide include the need to examine more than just infrequent unusual acts and to look at the entirety of the criminal event to gain a more well-rounded understanding of how offender behaviors can indicate particular body disposal methods.

对性杀人案件中尸体处置方法的研究主要集中在受害人尸体从犯罪现场到垃圾场的移动。相比之下，很少有人研究犯罪现场分析是否可以表明最终的处置方式（即如何在现场发现尸体），尽管我们知道这些独特的行为可以帮助调查人员利用来自现场的现成信息来缩小嫌疑人的范围。犯罪现场。目前的研究使用了国际数据库中 662 起已解决的家庭外性凶杀案件，通过序贯逻辑回归来测试针对尸体处理方法的各种预测因素。结果表明，将异物插入受害者体内、肢解受害者或进行死后性活动都预示着不公开展示尸体。此外，如果受害者是性工作者，尸体不太可能被公开展示。过度杀戮更有可能导致尸体被公开展示。性凶杀调查的意义包括不仅需要检查罕见的异常行为，还需要审视整个犯罪事件，以便更全面地了解犯罪者的行为如何表明特定的尸体处理方法。
