It is not necessary to have an arrest to conclude that a crime has taken place. Sometimes the police simply do not know who to arrest. Some crimes remain unsolved. But they are still crimes.

What is the major crime least likely to lead to arrest in the US?

Since statistics can't be compiled if the crimes are not reported, there isn't a way to know definitively what the most unreported crime is or which is least likely to lead to an arrest. Any crime that goes unreported is not likely to lead to an arrest. I would suggest that the most serious of those are assaults, especially domestic incidents and child abuse, and even some homicides that result from it. If a crime is reported and the probable cause exists, then an arrest will be made.
