Statement of the obvious coming up.

The aircraft has either:

(i). Crashed at sea

(ii). Crashed on land, or

(iii). Landed safely.


If a reasonably gentle ditching was accomplished, not the easiest of tasks, followed by sinking, then little evidence might be left on the surface.

If the aircraft crashed on land was any evidence recorded by a seismic observatory anywhere?

Which brings us to (iii). I would not be in the least bit surprised to find that the aeroplane had landed safely somewhere suitably remote for one reason or another. I am far from a conspiracy theorist (I lack the imagination!) but I wouldn't discount the possibility that its location is now known and the powers that be are assessing the situation and wondering what to do next. A public admission to that effect is unlikely.
