The Coast Guard Wants This Sailboat in the Lynette Hooker Case

More than a month after Lynette Hooker disappeared off a dinghy in the Bahamas, the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service has gone public with a request that tells you exactly where this case actually is. They are looking for the owner of a different sailboat — one that was moored near the Hookers’ yacht Soulmate in Aunt Pat’s Bay on the night Lynette vanished. They have grainy photographs. They want whoever was on that boat to come forward.

In other words: investigators are no longer just retracing the dinghy route Brian Hooker said he and his wife took. They are looking for somebody else who saw something.

This episode lays out the full case from April 4 to where it stands now. The 55-year-old Michigan woman who fell — by her husband’s account — into choppy water at dusk. The ex-Marine husband who paddled away for hours instead of dropping anchor. The daughter who went on national television and said her stepfather had a history of choking her mother and threatening to throw her overboard. The 2024 messages obtained by CBS News, in which Lynette told a friend named Marnee Stevenson, in her own words, that it was real bad and she couldn’t be out there with him — and the reconciliation that came a month later.

And the long marriage with police calls in both directions, including Brian’s 2006 acquittal on a child abuse charge and a 2015 mutual-assault incident in Michigan that ended without charges.

Brian Hooker is back in Michigan. He has not been charged. He denies any wrongdoing. The Royal Bahamas Police still consider him a suspect. The Coast Guard is still looking for that sailboat.
