Search for missing American woman takes new turn after GPS data raises questions

  • Coast Guard divers are continuing their search for American Lynette Hooker, who went missing two months ago during a sailing trip in the Bahamas with her husband, Brian Hooker.
  • Brian Hooker told investigators Lynette fell overboard from a dinghy on April 4 while they were traveling from Hope Town to Elbow Cay, and strong currents carried her away.
  • New developments in the search follow reports that GPS data recovered from Brian's electronic devices did not match his account with police, raising questions about his story.
  • Authorities plan to search the couple's sailboat, named the "Soulmate" and reportedly docked in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for additional clues.
  • Lynette's daughter stated the couple had a history of not getting along, especially when drinking, and police reports from 2015 show they accused each other of assault.
