51:13Now PlayingFederal agents just turned Brian Hooker’s floating home into a crime scene. Exclusive photos and videos show Soulmate, the 46-foot sailboat Brian and Lynette Hooker lived on, taped off at Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce as federal agents boarded the vessel, searched below deck for hours, and removed evidence in bags. Brian says Lynette “bounced” off the back of their dinghy and vanished in the Sea of Abaco, Bahamas. But if this happened in the dinghy, why is Soulmate now being processed like a crime scene? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the Coast Guard Investigative Service search, the evidence removed from Soulmate, and the new holes in Brian Hooker’s story. Plus, Lynette’s mother, Darlene Hamlett, reveals what Brian told her, what still doesn’t add up, and why the family is desperate to bring Lynette home.
