Bahamas police release Michigan man questioned after wife disappears from boat

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 14:45 · 1 min read

Bahamas police have released Brian Hooker, of Onsted, Michigan, without charges after holding him for five days in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker, 55. Brian Hooker told authorities that Lynette fell overboard on 4 April from a small motorboat as the couple travelled between Hope Town and Elbow Cay (a cluster of small islands in the eastern Bahamas), and that strong currents carried her away before he could reach her. Prosecutors recommended against filing charges at this time, though both Bahamian authorities and the US Coast Guard continue separate investigations into her disappearance.
