Why not give him a new identity and be done with it? Like they do for whistleblowers under the witness protection programmes. Just call him Donald Eugene Miller III.

In India, we would most probably given him a government job where he would have been lost forever.

The body will be the evidence. The name of the victim will be John Doe.

DON’T TRY IT.

“And, no, he can’t have it both ways, Cap’n Hal…”

Why not? Dead men tell no tales, don’t wear plaid, and can’t be sued.

To paraphrase Chevy Chase: “Donald Eugene Miller, Jr. is still dead.”

Was he really going to make restitution? I doubt it. He seems to want it both ways. He wants to be a deadbeat dad and collect SS without any repercussions. As he had odd jobs and he was listed as dead, it seems a safe bet that those jobs were off the books or there would have been an issue with his SS#.

While using a gun or knife might qualify as mutilating a corpse, how about poison?
