ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar — A Malaysian investigator of the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines plane in 2014 has traveled to Madagascar to pick up debris that possibly came from the missing plane and drifted across the Indian Ocean, a woman whose mother was on the aircraft said Monday. The investigator will collect possible plane pieces found on Madagascar's shores by American wreckage hunter Blaine Gibson and others, said Grace Nathan, a Malaysian whose mother was among 239 people on Flight MH370 when it vanished. Officials say several pieces of debris are confirmed as coming from the plane, or almost certainly came from MH370. The investigator has been invited to a press conference to be held later Monday by the family members, she said. Officials have said they are committed to following all leads in the search, described as the biggest in aviation history.
