Investigators to Comb Brian and Lynette Hooker’s Sailboat and New Search Zone in Bahamas Disappearance
Authorities are searching a Florida-docked sailboat and 25-foot-deep Bahamian waters for clues after Lynette Hooker vanished on vacation, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Bahamian government approved a U.S. dive team to search a new area in the Sea of Abaco, prompted by phone GPS data linked to Lynette Hooker's disappearance.
- Lynette Hooker vanished last month while vacationing with her husband, Brian Hooker, on their sailboat in The Bahamas during a trip back to their vessel in a dinghy.
- Authorities seized the couple's boat, 'Soulmate,' after it departed The Bahamas and relocated it to Fort Lauderdale, where investigators will extract digital devices and computer systems for evidence.
- Brian Hooker has not been charged with any crime, though former FBI special agent Nicole Parker noted that international investigations involve multiple agencies working to hold suspects accountable.
- Parker said investigators will extract 'any sort of digital devices that you can take, any computer systems that you can extract, anything of that sort' to reconstruct the timeline.
