23:46Now PlayingOn the evening of April 4, Lynette and Brian Hooker were aboard a dinghy in the Bahamas making their way to the sailboat they lived on, “Soulmate.” According to authorities, Brian said that just before sundown, rough conditions caused Lynette to fall overboard, and a strong current separated her from the boat. Before he lost sight of her, Brian claimed he saw his wife swimming to shore. According to Brian, Lynette had the key to the boat, so once she was overboard, it lost power. Around nine hours later, Brian ultimately drifted to shore. Days later, he was arrested and detained in the Bahamas over his wife’s disappearance, but he was released from custody without being charged— and still staunchly denies any wrongdoing. Two months after she vanished, Lynette’s disappearance is reportedly being investigated as a “possible murder.” This comes as the U.S. Coast Guard is searching in new areas after a U.S. official reportedly said that GPS data conflicts with Brian’s story. On Thursday, CBS reported the Coast Guard seized the 8-foot dinghy Lynette was on the night she went missing. Tad DiBiase, a former federal prosecutor and an expert in no-body homicide cases, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the latest developments.
