The pilot is said to have reported an emergency situation, due to an engine failure, before the plane crashed to the ground on May 1.
Since then, a massive search operation has been carried out for the seven passengers from the plane in the Guaviare area of Colombia, right next to the Amazon rainforest.
A persistent search effort was carried out by military forces, sniffer dogs, helicopters and by local Guaviare residents.
