Summary

In this episode of Police Off the Cuff, retired NYPD Sgt. Bill Cannon breaks down the latest questions surrounding Brian Hooker, the disappearance of Lynette Hooker, and the evidence investigators are now focused on.

Brian Hooker's attorney says she can't comment when Brian might return to the Bahamas to continue his search for Lynette.

Meanwhile, the Bahamian military says search and recovery efforts continue.

We thank you for one.

0:10.6

So, you know, it just kills me when I hear his voice.

0:18.6

It's so put on and it's so disgusting. He turns it on and off, but yet his

0:27.2

grieving behavior is not consistent with his actions. If he was so, so concerned, he would have

1:47.6

It's because they kept him for two or three days.

1:51.3

They interviewed him.

1:52.2

He was, I guess he was strong enough to hold up to the interview and to the interrogation.

1:57.2

But now, when the authorities have more time to dissect his story, to dig into his story, to talk to people, to interview people, to look at video.

2:09.7

And apparently with Ashley Banfield, she had tried to get the video from the Abaco Inn, and they wouldn't release it on the request of the local police.
