Accident investigators don't just say 'hey, someone thinks it crashed over here, let's spend millions of dollars looking'. All relevant information will have been analyzed and combined with other available information to determine the most likely spot for finding the wreckage. As tdracer said, those who are involved in an investigation are expected to release information through the investigation agency, not willy-nilly to the press.
Everyone wants to spot the one piece of overlooked or misinterpreted information that would finally locate the aircraft, but the investigation isn't being run by the Keystone Kops.
