US Coast Guard set to arrive in Bahamas to search for body in Lynette Hooker investigation
Divers will search a 25-foot-deep area in the Sea of Abaco as investigators examine the seized yacht for digital and forensic evidence.
- On Tuesday, the Coast Guard arrived in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas, to search for missing American Lynette Hooker, a U.S. official told Fox News Digital.
- Lynette disappeared on April 4, 2026, while boating near Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands; her husband, Brian Hooker, claimed she fell from an 8-foot dinghy at night.
- Investigators recently seized the sailboat Soulmate and are examining digital evidence after GPS data reportedly contradicted Brian's initial statements about their movements that evening.

- Divers began scouring an area about 25 feet deep in the Sea of Abaco on Tuesday, while the tight-knit boating community expressed emotional shock at Hooker's disappearance.
