Your first post has one assume that a woman was injected with the substance in question, making her appear as if she'd died.
You made no mention of the fact that the woman was strangled. If so, her murder would have been easily detectable.
If there was no other means of assisting in her death than the injection of S.C., then she would have been alive when placed upon the autopsy table.
Therefore, the pathologist who attended her autopsy would have been her killer, not her husband, as she would have been alive before said autopsy was done.
The wife wasn't strangled, the neighbor's husband was.
I agree that if she was placed on the autopsy table, the medical examiner would have been the actual murderer, but I still question the case. I can't remember precisely whether she went through a first autopsy. They may have taken her for a heart attack without question of a murder. The time a person is layed down on the autopsy table is when they are uncertain of the cause of death, or if it appears as if a crime had taken place.
However, because the husband injected his wife with the drug with intentions to get rid of her, he would be charged with the murder and he was.

...or throw them in an insinerator.
By doing that, the murderer is liable to leave evidence behind. With a person missing, questions get asked. Unless the victim is unknown to others, there is a good chance people will question where the victim is. One piece of evidence can lead to another.
For example, once the victim is assumed missing, the murderer can use the excuse that the person left the area - either by plane or whatever. However, certain things like items that belong to the victim lead on to each other and will ultimately end up leading to the murderer. The level of scientific investigations have reached a very high level. All it would take in this case is for a friend, neighbor, family member to find something that seems out of place.
Also, since the victim would be incinerated, there is no alternate cause of death. Through evidence found on the murderer's clothing, or what have you, the investigators will be able to figure the cause of death...of couse, since the victim was incinerated, they would not be able to conclude that he/she is the victim...unless of course, something was left behind near or around the incinerator that belonged to the victim.
I wouldn't doubt science in this case.
Heh, I mean the whole forensics stuff...that is what I find interesting lol. I'm not planning to go out and murder anyone!! LOL. I like figuring out how to solve a murder.
