I think it is more that the media have gone crazy in covering the story. There was so much misinformation being published that had no solid evidence behind it. I think it was pretty clear that something awful happened and that plane was lost after crashing into the ocean. All of the stories of it being hijacked and then flown and landed somewhere were all pretty crazy theories. Possible sure but only a very small possibility. It was far more likely to be some kind of failure in the aircraft and/or pilot error similar to the AirFrance crash a few years ago.

The pilot suicide theory is probably the most likely after a failure/error IMHO.
