_______ is the elimination of another because it would result in profit for the murderer.

• A. Triangle Killing
• B. Killing for Profit
• C. Salvage Switch
• D. Use-in-Crime

Answer: (B)

The key idea is a homicide driven by financial gain—the killer eliminates someone specifically to obtain a profit. This motive defines the act as Killing for Profit, since the primary purpose behind the murder is monetary benefit for the killer. Understanding this motive helps investigators look for financial incentives, such as life insurance, debt collection, business disputes, or other avenues where someone could stand to gain from another’s death, and it often indicates planning and possibly a more calculated approach to concealment or execution. The other terms don’t describe a profit-driven motive, so they don’t fit as well with the described scenario.
