But they found him? If he was alive, he probably would have been caught eventually, no?

Maybe. The average homicide clearance rate in the US is only around 60%. But that includes a lot of killings where nobody really cares about anyone involved. This was a much higher profile crime so it would get a lot more attention. But there are high profile cases that get a lot of (at least local) attention that don't ever get solved either.

I mean I guess all criminals die or are caught, yes.
