Not true nowadays due to the massive jumps in forensic science.Nevertheless Johann was correct.
In a court of law if you can't produce a body, you can't rule there was a death or a murder at all.
The United States case of People v. Scott 176 Cal. App. 2d 458 (1960) held that "circumstantial evidence, when sufficient to exclude every other reasonable hypothesis, may prove the death of a missing person, the existence of a homicide and the guilt of the accused."
