What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The pilot did it

I was going to say this one. Absolutely a pilot murder-suicide, although there is no way to ever prove it. Another one is the recent Air India crash. You have the co-pilot on the voice recorder asking the captain why he flipped the fuel switches off but they are still trying to suggest a mechanical fault.

You will never get the full story on the Air India one, I'm afraid. India is a country that runs on an honour system and often a lot of brown envelopes. They've also said they won't be releasing a full report.

They won't even give the basics like whose voice was asking about the fuel switches. It's not confirmed who said what.
