Authorities investigating Lynette Hooker’s disappearance in the Bahamas are expanding their search efforts by examining the couple’s sailboat, “Soulmate,” and searching a newly identified area of the Sea of Abaco for clues. Multiple outlets report that investigators plan to comb the boat after renewed coordination of the case, following Hooker’s last known activity near the vessel. One report says Hooker, 55, and her husband, Brian Hooker, 58, had been returning to their sailboat when she disappeared after falling from a dinghy in rough waters on April 4. Other reporting also describes federal treatment of the case as a potential homicide investigation, citing information that investigators are considering possible foul play. Authorities are continuing to focus on what happened around the time Hooker went missing and whether any evidence can be found on or related to the “Soulmate” sailboat. The search includes both the vessel and a broader geographic sweep in the surrounding waters.
