LOLOLOL...That one made me laugh out loud.
I did see somewhere that the pilot had two houses so it’s not like she was “leaving” him..but don’t know the veracity of that info.
I didn’t know about the second house so which house did the police search? The wife and kids leaving the day before certainly does put the pilot at the top of the suspect list. That also explains why there was no mention of them during the search.
Either the crew was in on it or he did something to them. The officials tried denying another pilot was able to contact the plane but I believe he did and did hear mumbling. That was only minutes after the tower lost contact so could be the whatever was going down and the co-pilot couldn’t do more than mumble.
