I have a wealthy American first-class passenger killing a German steerage immigrant aboard a British steamer in the middle of the Atlantic, 1871. This is witnessed by two women steerage passengers (French and Irish) and a black American sailor. So yeah, he's going to get away with it....
I'm looking for how this might be investigated on board, and then what legal avenues are possible once they land in New York. Right now I have the man strangled, and possibly thrown overboard. Victim was known as a drunkard and so they could play this off as an accident. This is part of a larger conspiracy though, so he could just disappear from the records and the authorities deny he even existed.
