Crash time was 23h14 Rio, 04h14 Paris and 02h14UTC.
For a French crew (concerning fatigue), the primary reference time should still be Paris, even if they stayed few days in Brazil.
I agree with you that it is highly improbable that Pilot's wife was in the cockpit rather than resting/sleeping in the cabin. Recovering cockpit seats seems a basic investigation work. The fact that the third seat was not supposed recovered doesn't tell anything about its state nor that the fourth was occupied. The fact that pilot's seats were recovered doesn't tell anything about their occupants bodies, certainly not that they were recovered seated and used for subsequent DNA tests, and so on...
That's tabloid speculation.
