Summary
There is a potentially huge development for the missing Michigan woman whose husband claimed fell off their dinghy in rough waters in the Bahamas. While the body of Lynette Hooker has not been found, investigators believe she may never have fallen out of the dingy. There is a new theory that Hooker may have had an altercation on the sailboat she shared with her husband Brian. Hooker’s mom has been giving interviews saying foul play was involved in her daughter’s death, adding that the investigation is taking longer than she anticipated, “but that’s what the coast guard told me to say.”

| 0:31.7 | The theory is that it didn't happen the way the husband said it happened. |
