U.S. Coast Guard investigators and specialized divers are searching the Sea of Abaco near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas for evidence related to missing Michigan resident Lynette Hooker. Multiple outlets report that the effort includes forensics work on a dinghy that investigators seized as part of the case. ABC News and other reports say the Coast Guard Investigative Service is seeking permission from the Bahamian authorities to send U.S. divers to search additional areas. NBC News says divers arrive in the Bahamas as the agency resumes the investigation. CBS News reports that investigators are conducting a new evidence search and that the inquiry can now include the possibility that Hooker was murdered, according to an official. Fox News also describes newly released Coast Guard video showing divers conducting a forensics examination of the seized dinghy. The case is linked to a report made by Hooker’s husband, Brian Hooker, in early April, who told police the couple had been on a nighttime ride aboard a dinghy and that Hooker went overboard and disappeared. Several outlets describe the search as covering both sea and nearby areas while investigators pursue potential evidence.
