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

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.

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.
