* ''[[Torchwood]]'' managed to pull this off with [[The Fair Folk]] in "Small Worlds." They exist outside of time, so they can never truly be tracked down. They can kill invisibly.

But, to quote the lab technician responsible, "Any biology undergrad can do it. It's a whole new world. Guess your free ride is over." Or so you would think. The very next episode Olivia Benson proceeds to threaten a suspect (unsuccessfully) with ... [[Fridge Horror|DNA evidence]].
