Soulmate Is Gone: Coast Guard Moves Brian Hooker’s Boat as Case Heats Up | Lynette Hooker Missing
Soulmate is gone, and that may be the biggest signal yet that the Lynette Hooker case is moving into a new phase. The 46-foot sailboat Brian Hooker shared with his missing wife has now been moved from the Coast Guard station in Fort Pierce to Fort Lauderdale, after investigators spent days treating the vessel like a crime scene, removing items, bagging evidence, and keeping the boat under scrutiny. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield discusses growing questions around Brian Hooker’s timeline, and the stunning claim that he waited more than 14 hours before calling Lynette’s mother after she vanished. Ashleigh also walks through new search footage from Marsh Harbour that raises serious doubts about Brian’s story of walking through scrub, sludge, mangroves, and darkness before reaching help. With the Royal Bahamas Police Force and Coast Guard Investigative Service both investigating, the case of missing wife Lynette Hooker appears to be heating up fast.
