Sorry I don’t buy that the Co-Pilot would not know what was going on until it was too late unless he was dead before it started.
Until we know the relative location of the bodies, it’s possible the co-pilot was in the washroom or taking an in-flight nap when the pilot decided to end it all.
From the height of the plane, to the ocean, it would only take somebody a few seconds to hit the water.
All this mystery and chaos the past couple weeks....and it may turn out to be a domestic.

It's not just the co-pilot. They also have cabin crew. Those would certainly start worrying if they don't see familiar landmarks (lights of cities below, at night,) and if the cockpit door remains locked, and even they cannot gain access (reportedly, the cabin crew can open the door, in case of fish poisoning,) and nobody enters, nobody leaves.
If all that happens and the cabin crew is alerted, I can't imagine that they have absolutely no way to communicate with the ground or, at least, send a distress signal. It only takes one button and two wires... does Boeing have that?
Another nail into the container of this idea is the theory that when husbands are upset about their wives or their families, and when they are willing to inflict violence onto someone, very rarely they choose to leave the "guilty" alone and instead kill a bunch of strangers. I would rather expect the husband to go postal on his wife. Killing the passengers makes no sense whatsoever, from any point of view.
One can say, of course, that the man was insane. But then we throw all the logic out of the window; we can also say that the airplane was swallowed by the antipode of the Bermuda Triangle and transported a few billion years back. Such a theory would be equally sound (such as a pure guess, with no facts to support it.)
