Fisher v. State

In Fisher v. State, 851 S.W.2d 298, 304 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993), the Court upheld a conviction where the victim's body was never found. The Court held that evidence such as Fisher's steam cleaning his carpet soon after the victim's disappearance, the discovery of ashes and burned bones near a friend's house that he had recently visited, and recent traces of blood in the garbage disposal and drain pipe of Fisher's house were sufficient to corroborate his extrajudicial confession to murdering and mutilating his girlfriend.
