The case of Drew Sjodin is a case in point. There is NO doubt that the man in custody is the perpetrator of her disappearance. He's been arrested for sexual crimes before, he was at the mall where she disappeared, his alibi was a bold face lie, and her blood was found in his car. While she is more than likely dead now, there was a chance of her being alive when he was caught. By using torture, she would have been located. If he lied under duress and misinformed the authorities, more torture could have been applied until he gave the correct answer. Even if she was already dead, some closure could be given to the family.
There was a case in Kentucky a couple of years ago where a man abducted a woman. When he was caught he admitted to it and said he had tied her to a tree in the woods, but he never said where. Several months later, the remains of a woman were found tied to a tree. It was his victim. Imagine the hell she went through while slowly dying alone in the woods. It could have been prevented.

I think it would be more cruel to leave a victim abandoned somewhere.

- Once you start doing that, no self-respecting garbage can will accept your body. Plus, it almost never gets the victim back alive. Plus, the guy has not been convicted yet. etc. (n/t)

- There is absolutely no evidence that anyone would be saved by allowing brutality to become ensconced in our legal system.
- And if the police have 10 suspects?
