Description

Lynette Hooker is still missing in the Bahamas, and the search has intensified with the U.S. Coast Guard now out in the Abaco Islands with a cadaver dog, adding a chilling new layer to an already troubling disappearance. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield is on the ground in the Abacos, retracing Lynette and Brian Hooker's last night together step by step. We follow the case from the water and revisit the key places tied to the mystery, including Abaco Inn, The Firefly, the area where the Hookers had their yacht anchored and the spot in Marsh Harbor where Brian Hooker reportedly washed up in the dinghy. Host: Ashleigh Banfield Executive Producer: Lindzie Haller

We need to see another announcement that cadaver dogs have been employed. Two new places to search - the mangroves and the hurricane ruins. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?

I think they need to search the area that is now uninhabited because of the hurricane that I saw video of the hookers exploring that area

The whole fact that he’s not there searching his butt off & proclaiming his innocence just proves he’s guilty- Also sounds like he’s planning to do himself in as I think he knows she’ll be found!
