U.S. Seeks 25-Foot Bahamas Search Zone After GPS Data Contradicts Husband's Account

U.S. authorities asked the Bahamas for clearance to search a new Sea of Abaco area for Lynette Hooker’s remains after GPS data allegedly conflicted with husband Brian Hooker’s account of her April 4 disappearance.
25-foot-deep waters are the focus because phone-based marine navigation data allegedly placed the couple’s dinghy in that area, according to U.S. and Bahamian sources cited by Fox News Digital.
11 hours of missing vessel data could become a key investigative issue: tracking records show the sailboat Soulmate’s AIS stopped at 9:29 p.m. April 4 and resumed at 8:40 a.m. April 5.
The Coast Guard Investigative Service is conducting a criminal probe, and the seized sailboat was taken from the Bahamas to Florida for examination after Brian Hooker said Lynette fell from their dinghy in rough water.
