Sea of Abaco

The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service conducted a four-day search in the Bahamas for missing American Lynette Hooker, using divers, drones, and a cadaver dog. They seized the dinghy she and her husband were on for forensic examination. The husband claims she fell overboard during rough seas.

The U.S. Coast Guard and Bahamian authorities are searching land and sea for 55-year-old Lynette Hooker, who has been missing since April. Lynette's husband, Brian Hooker, reported she fell overboard from a dinghy, but GPS data contradicts his account. Investigators are using cadaver dogs and divers to rule out all scenarios.

A specialized Coast Guard team is searching the Sea of Abaco in the Bahamas for evidence related to the missing person case of Lynette Hooker. The search involves divers and investigators, as reported by Cristian Benavides.

U.S. Coast Guard investigators with cadaver dogs were seen at a Bahamian boat yard where a Michigan woman was reported missing after falling overboard. New GPS data from the couple's boat contradicted the husband's initial account, prompting a reopened search. The woman's daughter provided DNA to aid the investigation, while the husband's attorney denied any wrongdoing.

Lynette Hooker disappeared during a vacation in The Bahamas while on a sailboat with her husband Brian Hooker. Investigators are searching the couple's docked sailboat 'Soulmate' in Florida and a new area in the Sea of Abaco for clues. Brian Hooker, a U.S. citizen, was initially detained by Bahamian authorities but was later released as the U.S. seeks jurisdiction due to the U.S.-flagged vessel and citizens involved.

GPS data from Brian Hooker's phone led U.S. investigators to search 25-foot-deep Bahamian waters for missing Lynette Hooker. The data contradicted Brian's initial account of Lynette falling overboard, prompting federal authorities to seek a new search area in the Sea of Abaco. The Coast Guard seized the couple's sailboat, Soulmate, and is collecting DNA samples from family members to aid the investigation.

Federal authorities have reopened the search for missing mother Lynette Hooker in the Bahamas after new GPS data from her husband Brian Hooker's device allegedly reveals locations in the Sea of Abaco that remain unsearched. The data contradicts Brian Hooker's previous account of his movements during the time of his wife's disappearance.

Federal investigators are reopening the search for missing Michigan woman Lynette Hooker in the Bahamas after GPS data from her husband's device allegedly contradicts his account of the night she vanished. Authorities plan to deploy a dive team to search new areas in the Sea of Abaco following discrepancies in the husband's story and newly analyzed data from the couple's boat.
