A man is murdered. The murderers destroy his body and much of the evidence and totally sequester the rest. Why is it lunacy to question their claim as to the identity of their victim? Especially when there is good reason to believe that the individual named had long been suffering from kidney failure and the victim was in a location where dialysis equipment was apparently unavailable to him?
