Description

Brian Hooker is in custody in The Bahamas after claiming his wife, Lynette Hooker, fell overboard during rough conditions and vanished, but newly revealed messages show his detailed account of the night she disappeared. His attorney describes his own “harrowing” experience during a police search and says he is heartbroken, while questions grow about inconsistencies in his story and why he couldn’t continue searching for Lynette. Meanwhile, his stepdaughter is raising suspicions about the disappearance and pointing to past domestic violence allegations, as investigators work to determine whether this was a tragic accident, or something more sinister. Law&Crime’s Chris Stewart is On the Case.

As a sailor and a liveaboard, someone who dinghys back and forth daily, have to say, there are so many red flags to his story!

Trace her Apple watch. They are usually waterproof.

“We are still searching but it’s a huge burden having news coverage”. Make no sense if he actually wants her found.

As a fellow boater, that is absolutely not what you should do if someone goes overboard. I don’t care how much experience you have. You need to circle back or start making calls to Bahamian coast guard

This whole story feels so off. I hope that poor woman is found so they can determine what really happened.

She goes overboard, and then he has to paddle 7 hours to get to shore? It just all sounds contrived , as though this is how someone thinks emergencies happen!
