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.

Any man, who loves his wife, jumps right in after her. He no longer thinks of his own life, but only of hers. Period.

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!

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

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

He got drunk, fought with her, knocked her out, panicked and dumped her at sea. How many times have we seen this episode of dateline? I would never go out to sea alone with anyone now.

I live in The Bahamas. This is not the first time tourists have come here to commit crimes against their spouse. They do it here because they think that our police force wont investigate them

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!

He killed her. Period. Had she fallen off the dinghy she would have swam right back to it. I’ve done it 100 times.

So if she swam toward the boat why didn't he go in THAT direction
