U.S. Coast Guard Seizes Brian Hooker’s Sailboat in Missing Wife Probe as Cell Data Contradicts Story

The Coast Guard has seized Brian Hooker’s sailboat while pursuing the disappearance of his wife Lynette Hooker, a Michigan woman who vanished in the Bahamas in early April.
New cell phone location data allegedly conflicts with Brian Hooker’s account that Lynette fell from a dinghy and that he then paddled ashore because she had the key.
Investigators say that data suggests search crews may have been directed to the wrong area, prompting authorities to reopen the search for Lynette.
Brian Hooker was previously taken into custody in the Bahamas after her disappearance, then released and allowed to return to Michigan as the investigation continued.
