Wow, so for all these different definitions of how people died, for which ones is a person who is responsible for the death of another immune from prosecution if the murder weapon is never recovered?

None of them.

Rather, having the instrument which was used to cause the death of another person is only one factor in determining the nature of the homicide and whether the person responsible has civil or criminal responsibility.
