Investigators are rushing to find out who captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah spoke to just prior to take-off, The Daily Mail reported. A flight simulator at the pilots house is already being thoroughly investigated as authorities continue to look into his background. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah with his home flight simulator.

Malaysias defense minister Hishammuddin Hussein has said that he believed Shah was innocent until proven guilty, and that family members of the missing pilot were contributing to the investigation. The FBI was also reportedly trying to recover files deleted from Shahs flight simulator one month ago. Objects could be a wing, tail Erased data could hold key Search for MH370 continues Plane on auto-pilot for hours Credible lead Malaysia that two objects spotted by a satellite in the Indian Ocean were a credible lead in the search for a missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet. We now have a credible lead, Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. This requires us overnight to verify and corroborate it, Hishammuddin said, adding that the overall search and rescue effort for Flight 370 would continue in the meantime. Currently, there are 18 ships, 29 aircraft and six ship-borne helicopters deployed in the search along two corridors stretching from the southern Indian Ocean to South and Central Asia. Until we are certain that we have located MH370, search and rescue operations will continue in both corridors, Hishammuddin said. For families around the world, the one piece of information they want most is the information we just dont have: the location of MH370, he added.
