    My theory: the parachute they gave him was packed to not open. He’s impacted several feet into the ground somewhere.

      He asked for four, two main and two backup. Of those one backup was non-functioning and the other was supposedly possibly by him to carry the money.

      He asked for two sets specifically to imply a hostage might be jumping with him, to negate the option of parachute tampering.

      Then the corpse would have been located. A human body falling from a height doesn’t drill into the ground. Also, the parachute would have been detected.

      Well he asked for 3 parachutes if I remember correctly. This gave him the opportunity to take a hostage with him and no way to guarantee who got which parachute. So it is unlikely that it was tampered with.

      Now did he use it correctly who knows it still could have not opened.
