Because was thinking of case solved as being that the killer is caught and sent to jail or is killed (either in the action of arresting him, or by another would be victim.
The article talked about 41% resulting in arrests...not solved...add another 10% to 15% where they know who did it, but for one reason or another, there was no arrest...those could count as "solved".

I think a good case in point would be Joran Van Der Sloot...I don't think there is anyone who doesn't think he's guilty as sin, yet he hasn't been arrested and stood trial for his crime (yet). Some would consider it solved, it's just a matter of tying up loose ends and evidence. Others would not see it as solved. But I don't think anyone questions if he did it or not.
