Coast Guard to expand search for Lynette Hooker in Bahamian waters

The US Coast Guard has asked Bahamian officials for permission to send divers to new locations in the Bahamas to search for Lynette Hooker, who disappeared in early April after her husband said she fell overboard from their dinghy; investigators say location data from her husband contradicted his initial search directions, prompting a criminal investigation. Hooker’s husband, Brian Hooker, was arrested and questioned repeatedly by Bahamian police in the week after her disappearance and was released without charges. Hooker, 55, and her husband had been sailing on their yacht Soulmate; her body has not yet been found.
