Lynette Hooker, a 55-year-old mother and sailor from Michigan, disappeared at sea in the Bahamas on April 5, triggering an urgent search that has since become a complex investigation focused on her husband of 25 years, Brian, 58.
She was cruising with him before she vanished. He claimed she went overboard from their dinghy during rough weather.
Brian was taken into custody on “probable cause” on April 8. His lawyer said he “categorically and unequivocally denies any wrongdoing.”
