Some picture visuals show clearly and with no doubts .. the fracture of the vertical stabilizer is not situated at the base (connection of the stabilizer to the fuselage)
Again, I completely disagree.

The remains of the attachment lugs are visible at the bottom of the fin, the different colour of the protective coatings is also clearly visible in this area(its a sandy yellow/brown colour) and as already mentioned, the white line where the blue and red logo stripes finish is also visible and is both perpendicular and of equal spacing.

There is damage to the rear of both the fin and of the rudder.

Also, it might help if people would refrain from photo shopping images from the crash site.
