Nah, zero chance of that. Stick to the most likely facts...
The ocean is a big place. They know this plane flew for quite a while, which implies that it flew at a reasonably high altitude and maybe not as fast as it could have flown. They have a pretty decent idea of it's path now, I think, but with without knowing it's exact altitude, speed and how long it flew after the last ping, it could have ended up anywhere in a pretty big area. If the pilot was indeed flying it into the water on purpose, he could have ditched the pane in a way that would have resulted in less debris than the AF plane, to use one example. Now, three weeks later, any debris could be many hundreds of miles away from where it crashed. And, the currents aren't the same in all areas of the ocean down there. They vary a lot.
This isn't easy, folks.
