Narrative:

A PA-46 was instructed to turn left on taxiway P hold short of runway 9L and remain this frequency. The aircraft switched frequencys without acknowledging hold short. An air carrier was cleared for takeoff on runway 9L and the PA-46 was observed taxiing at a high rate of speed. After repeated attempts to contact went unanswered, aircraft was told to hold short of runway 9L by inbound ground control. Departure aircraft stated, 'we saw him, we're off.' the taxiing aircraft stated on telephone that he was short of hold line when aircraft departed, but went onto the runway after departure flew by. Contributing factor: outbound ground was instructed to taxi aircraft to a closed runway. No one else was notified. No closure strips were removed. Inbound taxied PA-46 across runway assuming runway closed because of closure strip.
