Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious.

Welcome back to the program and welcome back to the story of Lynette Hooker.

And I call it the story of Lynette Hooker because this is her story.

There's another guy in the story named Brian Hooker, her husband, but it's not his story, it's her story. There's another guy in the story named Brian Hook or her husband, but it's

not his story. It's her story. She's still missing. And Brian, I don't know where he is at this

point. You know, he flew back from the Bahamas after this wonderful live-a-board life that he was

sharing with his wife, Lynette. They'd been at sea

for four years living on board their 46-foot catch sailboat. But as soon as she went missing,

and his whole story, if you've already seen the back episodes, I won't bore you, but effectively

in a nutshell, oops, she just went bouncing off the back and couldn't get her, so bye.

It wasn't about a minute before he had bounced from the Bahamas and was in Sacramento

with his ill mother, he said, and now there's word. He's probably not even there. More like

Michigan, where witnesses I've spoken to said he was seen up until like four days ago.

Are you still looking for Lynette, Brian?

Because you did say something like I'll never leave the Bahamas until I found her.

I have some stuff to tell you tonight, big stuff about what Brian was actually up to on the day after he washed ashore

at Marsh Harbor four miles away from where Lynette, you know, bounced off the back of the dinghy,

and I floated all night for nine hours. No, you didn't. Wait until you hear what eyewitnesses

have now told us about what he was doing for the two days

while everybody was out there searching for Lynette because of Brian's story that she

bounced off in two to four foot seas and like you know Andrea Gale style storm

if you've watched my other episodes you know, Andrea Gale-style storm.
