4- The culprit, just like Battler, escaped the island and is still alive but no one ever found him and found some ways or another to evade the red about being dead.
5- Murders occured but it was an accidental situation that got out of hand and those who survived might not understand much of what happened.

None of these are really satisfying.

Because the bomb only goes off at midnight. Everyone else would wake up in the morning and realize something was wrong when half their relatives were missing. They would become a very risky contingency. For example, Kyrie and Rudolf wouldn't know this, but if they left Genji alone he would end up checking the gold room, find everyone dead, and flip the bomb switch off. K&R would be fucked.

Also, with 1986 technology no one could have planned for the weather more than ~3 days in advance.
