Azharuddin said search international search teams had spared no expense in their search for the plane. Every credible lead had been pursued and all available data that tracked the plane to a corner of the southern Indian Ocean had been reviewed. But Sarah Bajc, whose partner Philip Wood was on board the plane, rejectected the announcement. ”I think they are lying,” she said. “It could very well be that the plane crashed. But there is no evidence, and until there is evidence we just can’t believe them,” she said, referring to the Malaysian government and airline.

It is impossible to bring any closure until we have proof.
