Turbulent marriage shadows Bahamas missing-woman case as husband questioned

American Lynette Hooker, 55, disappeared near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas after a dinghy incident; her husband, Brian Hooker, was detained for additional questioning by Bahamian police and has not been charged, denying any wrongdoing. His arrest follows his claim that she fell overboard in rough seas. Hooker’s family, including her daughter Karli Aylesworth, describe a sometimes turbulent marriage with past abuse allegations, and are seeking answers. The search has shifted from rescue to recovery as Bahamian authorities, with U.S. Coast Guard and State Department involvement, continue the investigation.
