The U.S. Coast Guard is deploying divers to the Bahamas to search for Lynette Hooker, a 55-year-old woman from Michigan who went missing on April 5 while sailing with her husband, Brian Hooker. Reports indicate that Lynette fell overboard from their 8-foot motorboat during rough waters while traveling from Hope Town to Elbow Cay. Brian reported her missing and was arrested shortly after as a person of interest but was released without charges. The investigation has gained traction following the discovery of new GPS data from Brian's phone that contradicts his statements about their route that night. This evidence has prompted the Coast Guard to renew its search in the Sea of Abaco, with Bahamian authorities granting permission for the operation. The couple has been sailing together for over a decade, sharing their experiences on social media. Brian maintains his innocence regarding Lynette's disappearance.
