About the descent from the hold speculation -
SKRG 290300Z VRB02KT 9999 -DZ BKN015 SCT080 17/16 A3025
Might they have been diving below that layer at 8000agl (FL150), knowing they had lost, or were soon to loose, nav instruments and hoping to get visual?
I'm not a fan of speculation, but I'll put that up there as a counter to all the ADSB drift cruft.
The investigation will answer the questions about what happened during that fateful flight. I'm more interested in keeping the conversation directed toward revealing the murky truth surrounding the preceding years that lead up to it.
