    The weather was terrible for a jump. Nobody who had training would have tried it.

    He almost certainly died in the jump.

    He also made an offhand comment about the airline, and that suggests a revenge motive.

      He was asked why that airline and he specifically said it wasn’t to do with the airline, just that that particular flight suited his needs. He did say “it’s just because I have a grudge”, but he didn’t say what it was.

      I also agree he died, mostly because they never found the money in circulation. None of the serial numbers they gave him were ever identified. So it seems he either never spent a cent of it, or he didn’t survive the jump.

      If he died in the jump they would have eventually found a body. At the very least he survived long enough to vacate the area.

        Some of those areas are really remote. He could have easily died, and his body was then torn apart and scattered by scavengers before anyone could find it.

        People frequently get lost in remote areas, die, and never have their bodies found. All that has to happen is that the animals get to the body before search parties do.

        Or he could have simply landed in a stream or river, and his body was devoured by fish as it tumbled its way into the sea.

        There are plenty of ways for nature to destroy a corpse.
