It's a classic murder tale. Someone gets stabbed with an icicle, icicle melts, murder weapon disappears, no fingerprints.
The problem is, the point of the icicle is fragile. If the icicle breaks in half, you're sunk. Also, the icicle melts quickly in your hand. You need to time your murder very well.

I do not want to know why you need to know this. But DNA is always left at the crime scene regardless right? So it wouldn't matter to much? And thats got to be serious frozen to even pierce skin so it would take forever to find. But then on the other end I don't know if they would even suspect an icicle as a murder weapon if it's been cleaned and just thrown away on the snow.

Probably not, the body heat would melt the evidence. However, like most murder cases, the authorities do not rely on just one piece of evidence, rather they build one piece of the puzzle around known factors and even when a few pieces are missing, a good detective or a jury fills in the rest.

Not unless its freezing out, but even that is questionable, since the body heat might last long enough to melt the icicle.-Why?

well 1st unless the icicle is really sharp on its own then you would have to buy tools to sharpen it so even if they couldnt find the icicle if they found what you used to sharpen it and can prove it then they can still charge you that or if the icicle is really cold and dropped outside in winter lol

They could always photograph it, next to where it supposedly went into the body to kill them. They can then enlarge the photo to take measurements and such to at least give the jury a reasonable doubt, I bet.

I'm not sure on that one....lol, perhaps a Popsicle suffocation might work and just say he died trying to shatter the world book of guniess records. by eating 50 Popsicles in 10 minutes.

If it is still cold. If it melts, maybe the dna in the water? That'd be hard to proove, though.

Yes, but their case would be watered down!
