In police jargon, a case is 'closed' when it is solved either by arrest, or "by other means." For instance: when the perpetrator is known beyond a reasonable doubt but cannot be prosecuted for some reason - by death of the perpetrator (poss. during the commission of the crime or during apprehension) - by deathbed confession - etc.
