Did Brian Hooker and Lynette Hooker actually make it back to their sailboat, Soulmate, the night she vanished? In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down a stunning new development in the disappearance of Lynette Hooker in the Bahamas: multiple witnesses reportedly saw flares coming from the Hookers’ sailboat before 9 p.m., even though Brian has claimed he and Lynette never made it back to the boat. Ashleigh also reveals new surveillance video from Lubbers Quarters, looking across the Sea of Abaco toward Elbow Cay and the area where Soulmate was anchored, raising fresh questions about Brian’s timeline, the dinghy route, the wind direction, and whether a small dark object seen near the boats could be the Hookers’ dinghy returning to Soulmate. Plus, new details about Lynette’s Apple Watch, her blue headscarf, possible witness video from Elbow Cay, and the lingering question at the center of it all: if flares were fired from the sailboat, who fired them... and why?
