This is a little different than for example the deep ocean where nobody has jurisdiction. In this case the Federal Government has jurisdiction, but due to a quirk of the laws would be impossible to prosecute someone for a crime committed there.
For the most part it isn't an issue because, as previously noted, nobody lives there. There is nobody around to commit crimes. There is also precious little there to commit crimes against. If this loophole ever actually came up I'd expect it to be over something like illegal logging, not a murder.
