LYNETTE HOOKER'S ONLY DAUGHTER SPEAKS OUT AFTER GRISLY UPDATE

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

The U.S. Coast Guard opened a criminal investigation into the disappears of Michigan woman Lynette Hooker. The 55-year-old went missing while boating in the Bahamas. Police say Lynette and husband Brian Hooker were using an 8‑foot dinghy to travel from Hope Town to their yacht, Soulmate, moored near Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands. Husband Brian says around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Lynette fell overboard, along with the boat’s engine key, which caused the motor to stop. He says strong currents carried her away, but he saw her swimming toward shore before losing sight of her. Brian reportedly paddled the boat to Marsh Harbour and contacted police around 4 a.m. Bahamian police initially arrested Brian Hooker for further questioning, citing “probable cause,” although he was not charged. His attorney stated that he “categorically denies any wrongdoing” and is cooperating.  Lynette’s daughter, Karli Aylesworth, says her step-father's story “doesn’t add up” and joins Nancy Grace today to share thoughts on her mother's disappearance.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
