That would require Valentine's body to be found. Which it wasn't. They'd have looked for him alive for a long while before looking for his body. Even if the body was found, Johnny shot him with Spin-infused fingernails, rather than regular bullets, which is a recipe for a confused coroner if I've ever heard one.

Given that DNA hadn't been discovered yet, and that the gun Johnny had held disintegrated, there's no actual evidence on the body linking it to Johnny, either. Neither of the people who saw what happened were likely to rat him out, either. To top it off, Johnny moved to Japan a few years later, brought there explicitly by the Japanese government to teach horsemanship. Which would have made arresting him...difficult.
