Overview
- Brian Hooker remains in Bahamian custody after Friday's questioning led police to extend his detention through Monday evening with no charges announced.
- Hooker says his wife fell from an 8‑foot dinghy on Saturday, April 4, the engine stopped when the key went overboard, and he paddled to Marsh Harbour where he arrived around 4 a.m. Sunday.
- New details from a call recorded April 7 and obtained by CBS show Hooker admitting he left too late, skipped life jackets and threw the anchor last, and he says he tossed a flotation cushion and fired two flares.
- A boatyard security guard in Marsh Harbour says Hooker washed ashore exhausted and asked for water, and he reported that Lynette had been in the water as searches later shifted from rescue to recovery.
- Bahamian police and the U.S. Coast Guard are running parallel inquiries as the case may hinge on texts, maps and witness accounts with Lynette still missing and no physical evidence recovered.
