Heard from someone on the investigation that a 'ping' was picked up from the CVR, did not hear whether it has been found yet.
FDR - I believe was sent to Canada and the traces already sent to Cameroon.

A search team has found the cockpit voice recorder of a Kenya Airways plane that crashed in Cameroon last month, killing 114 people, the airline's chief executive officer says.
The voice recorder was found on Friday afternoon and Cameroonian authorities are now making arrangements to get it to Canada as soon as possible, Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni said in a brief statement.
When it is analysed, the voice recorder is expected to reveal the final exchanges between the plane's captain and his co-pilot and also any conversations with the control tower in Cameroon's commercial capital of Douala.
The Kenya Airways flight nose-dived into a swamp in the West African country less than two minutes after taking off from Douala on a stormy night on May 5. The Boeing 737-800 had been bound for Kenya.
The plane's data recorder was found last month and taken to Canada for analysis. A preliminary review showed no evidence of a mechanical malfunction, the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement posted on its web site.
The authority said a full report of what led to the crash will take as long as a year.
The preliminary investigation found that all crew members were sufficiently trained and certified according to expected aviation guidelines, the statement said
