Nancy Grace investigates the chilling disappearance of Lynette Hooker, a beautiful mother and experienced sailor who vanished at sea in the Bahamas. While her husband, ex-Marine Brian Hooker, claims she accidentally 'bounced' off their dinghy during a sudden uptick in wind, a reported newly opened homicide investigation points to a much darker reality. Joined by Lynette’s daughter, Karli Aylesworth, alongside maritime and security experts, Nancy dismantles Brian's timeline—uncovering a shocking 11-hour digital GPS blackout, a $600,000 financial motive, and a hidden history of domestic violence. As the U.S. Coast Guard deploys dive teams to never-before-searched waters, the electronic evidence begins to tell the story that a husband refused to share.
