29:54Now PlayingWhere is Lynette Hooker? The 55-year-old was last seen April 4, 2026, while in the Bahamas with her husband, Brian. He told authorities she fell overboard and was swept away by bad weather while the couple was traveling in a dinghy to their yacht, “Soulmate.” Holes in his story have the Coast Guard Investigative Service looking into the disappearance as a possible murder.
In this episode of "The Truth of the Matter," Hena Doba sits down with the host of the "Drop Dead Serious" podcast, Ashleigh Banfield. They dig into this case, covering the new search in the Bahamas by the U.S. Coast Guard this month, the GPS data that contradicts Brian’s account of what happened the night his wife disappeared, the status of “Soulmate” and the dinghy seized by investigators.
