Overview
- Lynette Hooker remains missing in the Abaco Islands, and authorities say the effort has shifted to a recovery operation more than a week after the April 4 dinghy incident.
- Brian Hooker remains in Bahamian custody after Wednesday's arrest, with his lawyer saying police must decide by Monday night whether to file charges.
- CBS News obtained calls, texts, and navigation screenshots that outline Brian Hooker's account and place the incident in shallow water with sustained winds near 15 to 25 knots and stronger gusts.
- The same reporting shows an eight-hour gap between the reported fall and Brian being found at Marsh Harbour Boat Yards at 4 a.m. on April 5 after a roughly four-mile drift.
- Messages from 2024 obtained by CBS show Lynette told a friend she had split from Brian and felt unsafe living with him at sea before they later reconciled.
