You could setup a complicated series of plausibly deniable encryption, steganography, and so on and I suppose that might work. But you need to maintain perfect opsec as well as hope they don't already have sufficient evidence that you possess the information they're after. They might have already installed a keylogger plus covert video surveillance and your denials are now contempt of court plus obstruction of justice.

In your burial scenario, they might already possess video surveillance of you dragging a body into the woods, then leaving 30 minutes later but they'd like you to provide an exact location to avoid an extensive search. Telling them you went to the beach with your metal detector won't bode well.
