The scenario is that a man is murdered by a serial killer, who hides the body somewhere. Years later, it is discovered -- and it turns out the man's son works at the morgue where the body is brought.
This happening somewhere in a major city in Northern California (San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, etc.). I mention that for climate.
He's been missing for at least twelve, maybe as many as fifteen years. But there needs to be enough left of him to make identification possible, even without a wallet (dental records, presumably). What would be best would be if the son visually recognizes the corpse of his father. The two ways that come to my mind are: (1) His clothes are sufficiently preserved--trousers, coat, tie, shirt, etc.--that the son recognizes the suit from the last time he saw his father. And/Or (2) The wedding ring on the corpse is a match for the young man's mother's.
Under what specific circumstances will enough of the body remain after fifteen years?
Under what circumstances is the above scenario about the clothes viable?
Thanks in advance!
