so how long does it take for a body disappear in the ground? hundreds, thousands of years? more??

Would depend on conditions. Is the soil dry or wet and acidic ? Is the temp sub-zero year round ? Just no way to determine without all the parameters.
ETA: If you are trying to hide dead hookers I recommend the commercial chipper shredder discharging into the deep ocean. |
|
It varies depending upon climate, soil type, pH levels, and ground moisture content, as well as what container the body may have been buried in...
It varies significantly! I've seen a lot of them dug up. |

Quoted:
Look at the dinosaurs...In your gas tank The dinosaurs are in museums. |
|
Depends on how closely you stack the dead hookers under your house.

The body farm isn't too far from me here in Knoxville. The wife took a few classes from Dr. Bass and knows him pretty well.
There are all kinds of things that can delay or speed up the decay process. The climate you live in, the acidity level of the ground. All sorts of things. Bones will take some time, but all sorts of critters speed it up. |

Quoted: Look at the dinosaurs...In your gas tank Plants are not dinosaurs. Petroleum comes from microscopic plant life that had been mixed with sand or other sediments, preventing oxidative decomposition. You were lied to if someone said petroleum is from dinosaurs. Sure, some of the sediments were laid down during the time of the dinosaurs but there wasn't enough dinosaurs in any area to make such deposits. Coal is similar but instead of microscopic plant life, it was macroscopic plant life, preserved in acidic bogs much like peat. Or anoxic swamps. |

Give us a good science lesson on the best way to dispose of them. |

As another reply noted, it depends on environmental conditions and whether critters can get at it or not.
Once radical putrefaction has taken place it is then just a matter of breaking down bone tissue, which, obviously, can take a very long time. |

i am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed

What about hair, that seems to never decompose. I would just eat said person, take their hair and make extensions. Get their teeth and grind them down. Then skin them and make clothes, or at least remove their fingers and toes. Then have one of my cats eat what it could. Then I would get the bones and make furniture.

OP needs an abandoned and forgotten remote mine shaft and some Lyme.

Give us a good science lesson on the best way to dispose of them. Honestly, the easiest way is to go during the day-time to a large cemetery in an urban area with no gate blocking its entrances... Look around for where the full-time grave diggers are presently digging - make mental note of the location - graves are typically dug the day before the actual interment. Come back at night, turn off headlights, drive to location with shovel & body. Grave should be dug 5.5 to 6 feet deep - dig it down another ~2 feet or so. Bury body, and cover up the body with dirt. Then very neatly make sure the sides & bottom of the grave is very nice, neat, squared, and level looking. Walk away... Hope it doesn't show up in the news later on... Most likely the next morning the concrete burial vault truck will arrive, they will lower a concrete burial vault down into the grave on top of your neatly dirt-covered dead hooker. The area will be covered off with green rugs, a tent put up, and folding chairs laid out... The casket lower device will be setup, and the funeral will arrive. People will come & go, a casket will be lowered and sealed into the vault, the vault truck driver will drive off, the grave diggers will come in to push the dirt back in over the concrete burial vault, any extra dirt will be carted off. The soil will be hydraulically settled, planting soil will be put over the top, and seed will be planted within ~3 or so days. The heavy digging & burying is done for you, and you've just hidden a needle in a field of needles. |

A hectare of fine East Tennessean woodland is home to the nation’s oldest and largest open-air collection of rotting corpses.

Just leave top side in remote area known to be frequented by bears and other carnivorous animals. If you have access to lands inhabited by Hyenas all the better as they eat bones too. Just extract teeth first, smash with hammer and dispose of seperately and I mean each tooth someplace else.
Oh and using as shark bait works too. |

I think it depends on small the pieces are after you chop them up.

Goggle body farm? They do this kind of research. Google Tibetan Sky Funeral |

Quoted: You're screwed. Someone will find the body. This. Hey, OP, who have you done killed? Come on, fess up. This is GD and we love a good story here. |

OP, compared to a lawyer and a prison sentence muriatic acid and a plastic barrel made of either LDPE or HDPE is cheap. Though it won't work like in movies and on TV, it will take a while. Once you are down to just sludge, bones and teeth smash them up with a hammer and put them in fresh hydrochloric acid in a smaller container. The bones will be soft but you will still be able to break them up to increase surface area and speed up the reaction. don't forget to dilute, neutralize and run the sludge through a sieve to look for anything that might be able to be traced back or to the person or would be evidence that a person was disposed of illegally. Such as gallstones, or orthopedic implants. Titanium pins, screws and implants can be burned with an acetylene torch and stainless can be melted and forged into a shape that won't be recognizable |

I've seen deer go from alive and kickin' to widely scattered bones and smeared stomach contents in three days. Mid-September, hot weather, and coyotes involved.

Hundreds , maybethousands of years. Bones have a habit of sticking around. Not so much for the soft stuff though.

Mt Everest? Never
The desert? Centuries unless rodents eat the bones. THe rainforest? Months |

If you burn the body, remember, burned human bones fluoresce under a black light.

The heavy digging & burying is done for you, and you've just hidden a needle in a field of needles. Ok, that would need a ladder, a shovel, a bucket and a good bit of work, depending on soil conditions. Then you have the hazard of being buried alive. Hogs are the simple solution. But you should pull all the teeth before feeding the body to the hogs. Dissolve in hydrofluoric acid. |

Months At the Battle of the Wilderness, elements of the Union Army bivouacked near the mass graves from the Battle of Chancellorsville the year before. Some of the bodies had been reduced to nothing but bones in a year's time. |
