48:45Now PlayingBrian Hooker’s stepmother is revealing a shocking claim she says he made decades ago: that he “had to have someone killed” after running into trouble while living on a beach in Hawaii. Now, as Brian remains the prime suspect in the disappearance and suspected murder of his wife, Lynette Hooker, sources with knowledge of the investigation say the alleged Hawaii killing is being investigated.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield speaks exclusively with Donna Hooker, who was married to Brian’s late father for more than 40 years. She describes the disturbing statement Brian allegedly made in the 1980s, his estrangement from his dying father and why she now believes he killed Lynette aboard their sailboat, Soulmate, before reporting that she disappeared from a dinghy near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas.
