How does Dexter handle the logistics of his murders?

How does Dexter handle the logistics of his murders? - Green Metal Door Handle

When Dexter murders someone he always prepares the room with:

  • lots of plastic foil
  • pictures of victims
  • small details for atmosphere
  • etc

But we only see him dispose the bodies.

The amount of plastic foil and the blood that must have been spilled must be very hard to dispose of. Just the foil alone would need one round trip with his small car.

And then he mostly only has one night to prepare, play and dispose. How does he handle this?

Is there any mention in the series or some canon explanation on this?



Best Answer

One of the famous quotes of Season 6:

"Most of the people here don't have two rolls of duct tape, 80 yards of plastic sheeting and a surgical saw in their trunk." - Dexter.

Dexter's car trunk can accommodate the plastic foil and/or other items that are used in the murder scene. What we see is Dexter dropping two/three plastic bags into the sea but there has to be more such bags containing the body parts along with the plastic/other items used in the murder scene.
