Summary
We are hearing directly from 58-year-old Brian Hooker’s attorney, who says his client was interrogated for more than 3 hours “in relation to causing harm which resulted in his wife’s death.” Police must charge Hooker in connection with the disappearance of Lynette Hooker by Monday evening, or he will be released. Despite a week of searching, Lynette’s body has not been found after her husband said she fell overboard in rough seas. His friends posted purported audio of Brian describing what happened to Lynette and how a “cascade of failures” led to his inability to rescue her.
