No surprise. The area is small, flat and sandy and they've got 3 UAVs available for the mapping... But no ROV.
They will need the ROV to go further and for looking inside the wreckage.

You are right about the "rumors" from those sources "close to the investigation" (Governement, BEA, Justice, experts, families, journalists...)
One sample (all unverified):
. the wreckage is very close to LKP (straight down);
. there is still large parts of the cabin well preserved;
. some corpses still attached to their seat;
. some corpses lying around the wreckage;
. the BEA is incompetent, having searched mostly at the wrong place...
