Summary
U.S. investigators are asking Bahamian authorities for permission to search a new area for missing Michigan mom, Lynette Hooker. Authorities say GPS data from Brian Hooker’s device has revealed he wasn’t where he said he was the night he told police his wife fell overboard in rough seas. Hooker was arrested and held for 5 days, but ultimately released after officials didn’t have enough evidence to charge him in connection with Lynette’s disappearance.

| 0:55.9 | into whether or not Brian Hooker bared any response or bore any responsibility to the disappearance |
| 1:01.6 | of his wife. But they had stopped searching. They had exhaustively searched the areas where |
