Searching Leading Lady wreck

I looked through the MACR.  The crew statements seem to say the plane crashed "on the island".   Specifically when the question was asked  "where did your aircraft strike the ground"  their  statements are:
"on  island"
"Isle of Korcula"
"On an Island off coast of Yugo"
"On coast of Island"
 
The one German document states "Place of Crash" as "Korcula on the Island of Korcula".
 
As none of these seem to say, "in the sea", "in the water" , or "off the coast of an Island", or words to that effect,  I think the information available in the MACR seems to imply the plane crashed on land.
 

A couple of other clues from reading the MACR.  Many of the the crew were captured in the vicinity of Pupnat.    They parachuted from a "burning bomber".   In a German POW "transfer" document, the Gemans refer to the crew as captured from a "Lancaster" to which apparently the US translator adds the  phrase "should be B-24".     Norris,  the pilot  who evaded, was the last to bail out as he flew the ship while the others bailed.  If the plane crashed on land, it "may" have been totally burned, so much so that it was unrecognizable.    Of course, the other possibility is that the burning wreck did go into the sea and the Germans did not  recover anything. 
We can try to guess the flight path of the plane, there are no other US witnesses after the plane was hit over/near Ploiesti.   Since they were trying to get back to Italy their route more or less due west would have taken then over the island from the east (near the town of Korcula)  to the west, passing over Pupnat which lies in the center of the island.  If the plane did not circle either before or after bailout,  one would think the plane went down on the western end of the island or in the sea just off the western end.  I would think your best bet would be the locals in or around Pupnat.
 

I am guessing if Norris evaded he was picked up by partisans in a more uninhabited or inaccessible  part of the island.  I would guess the Germans had troops in the main town of Korcula and probably in some of the main villages and along the main roads,  such as at Pupnat which is unfortunately where many of the crew came down.   If the plane in the sea between  Korkula and Lastovo is Leading Lady, the plane may have turned to the south just before or after Norris bailed out.   Norris may have come down closer to the southern coast, which seems to have few roads according to Google maps or more to the west and then the  plane (perhaps without a functioning autopilot)  then turned south or maybe even back south east and went into the sea.  None of the crew actually seem to have seen the wreck, so perhaps all their  statements are just speculation as to the location of the crash, or  just what they were told by their captors.  

If that is the plane it is unfortunately too deep for sport diving.  It is also further east than we might have thought ..... but certainly a possibility.    Interesting about the parachutes made into dresses.  I have heard similar stories before.     I have tried to see if there is a MIS-X Escape and Evasion report for Norris but have not found anything yet.    Just to complete the information so this thread can get moved to the proper location.
The plane was B-24,  41-28685  from the 461st Bomb Group, 765th Bomb Squadron.   The plane was lost on 31 May 44.   MACR is 6126
