a) Nope
b) maybe, but he didn't cause a specific person to be suspected of a crime. To me this clause reads as refering to someone specific like saying your neighbour has a grow-op.
c) Nope
d) Maybe, though he more made it look like he was kidnapped not like he was dead.
I am interested to see how the lawyers handle it. Its good that the law allows you to disappear without a trace, you just can't make it look like you died in order to disappear.
