#1 Prediction: Iced over sensors caused erroneous speed information to be sent to the flight computer causing the plane to think it was going slower than it was. Combined with severe turbulence, the pilot(s) were permitted by the flight control computer to input excessive rudder response shearing off the rudder and causing a loss of control that brought the aircraft down.

Just my best guess based on the known facts to date.
