  • The search location was determined by GPS data recovered from the couple's boat, "Soulmate," which reportedly contradicts the account given by her husband, Brian Hooker.
  • Lynette Hooker vanished after Brian Hooker claimed she fell from their dinghy, taking the engine key, forcing him to paddle to shore to report her missing.
  • A U.S. dive team has been approved by Bahamian officials to investigate the waters, seeking evidence and to retrieve Lynette Hooker's body, if possible.
