Summary
58-year-old Brian Hooker told a friend via text that his wife fell overboard in choppy seas and “swam towards the sailboat” the night she went missing in the Bahamas. Hooker’s texts to a friend reveal new and inconsistent information surrounding the disappearance of 55-year-old Lynette Hooker. Hooker remains behind bars, and has not yet been charged in his wife’s disappearance, but his attorney says he nearly drowned himself while being arrested and is “heartbroken and deeply distressed.”
