52:47Now PlayingBrian Hooker has officially been spotted for the first time since leaving the Bahamas after his wife, Lynette Hooker, vanished. An exclusive photo obtained by Drop Dead Serious shows Brian at his mother’s home in Sacramento as the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service continues its federal murder investigation into Lynette’s disappearance. Do the feds finally have enough evidence to make their move, and if so, why hasn’t Brian Hooker been arrested?
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani joins Ashleigh Banfield to explain how federal murder investigations work, why prosecutors often build nearly their entire case before making an arrest, and what the delay could mean for Brian. Brian Hooker has not been charged with a crime and denies any wrongdoing.
