Husband of woman missing in Bahamas tells ABC News his 'sole focus' is finding his wife

Brian Hooker said he will remain in the Bahamas and keep searching after police released him without charges in his wife’s disappearance.

  • Brian Hooker was released without charges on Monday by Bahamian authorities following his questioning in his wife Lynette Hooker's disappearance; he told ABC News his "sole focus" remains finding her.
  • On April 4, the couple departed Hope Town on the Abaco Islands for their yacht, Soulmate, when bad weather caused Lynette to fall overboard, according to the account Hooker provided to authorities.
  • Hooker described his time in police custody as "a little different chapter of hell in a giant hell that I'm in," noting the ongoing investigation has interrupted his search efforts.
  • Lynette's mother, Darlene Hamlett, told ABC News she hopes "we find the truth" amid the investigation, while alleging the couple had a volatile relationship.
  • Remaining in the Bahamas, Hooker maintains he will stay until his visa expires or is told to leave, though his attorney has prevented him from detailing the night his wife went overboard.
