1:02:29Now PlayingMajor new twist in the disappearance of Lynette Hooker: the U.S. Coast Guard has now opened a criminal investigation after Lynette’s husband claimed she was swept away in the Bahamas during a late-night dinghy ride. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the troubling details that are making this case feel like far more than a tragic boating accident, including the husband’s story "bouncing" out of the boat, why that claim is raising serious red flags, what Lynette’s daughter is now saying, and why so many parts of this timeline still do not add up. Ashleigh is joined by Captain Andy Norris, a retired U.S. Coast Guard captain, attorney, and president of Tradewind Maritime Services, to break down the case.
