The transponder ID's the aircraft. But the controllers would notice it turned off almost immediately. But they could still track the airplane until it got down low or went into a gap in the radar coverage. Very few gaps exist and I have not heard that is the case.
I did hear the Travel agent who bought the tickets for the stolen passports was an Iranian travel agent. They were paid with cash, one way tickets.

There are many gaps in radar coverage including where this plane disappeared.
