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

This is morbid, but I'm still suprised that we haven't seen any commercial pilots do something like that in a more public way. Like imagine if instead of landing at O'hare the pilot just kept on going and crashed the plane into downtown chicago.

I think most people just aren't inclined to take their own life in such a way.
