Brian Hooker, the husband of missing Lynette Hooker, caught on tape, speaking to a friend in a recorded call  about the incident. The U.S. Coast Guard has opened a criminal investigation into Lynette's disappearance.  Brian Hooker taken in for  questioning, but now authorities must decide whether to charge him in connection with her disappearance or release him. That deadline is tonight.  Brian Hooker's attorney says he “categorically denies any wrongdoing. ”  

Police say Lynette and husband Brian Hooker were using an 8‑foot dinghy to travel from Hope Town to their yacht, Soulmate, moored near Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands. Husband Brian says around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Lynette fell overboard, along with the boat’s engine key, which caused the motor to stop. He says strong currents carried her away, but he saw her swimming toward shore before losing sight of her. Brian reportedly paddled the boat to Marsh Harbour and contacted police around 4 a.m.

Authorities from the Royal Bahamas Police Force, Royal Bahamas Defence Force, and U.S. Coast Guard conducted an extensive search of the area. Now days later the search has officially shifted from a rescue to a recovery mission. Lynette has not been found. 

Lynette’s daughter, Karli Aylesworth, says her step-father's story “doesn’t add up” and points to past marital problems between him and her mother.
