00:0055-year-old Lynette Hooker is missing after falling out of a boat in the Bahamas.
00:04A simple but tragic man overboard situation or is something more sinister afoot?
00:10Hooker and her husband Brian were on an eight-foot dinghy Saturday night trying to get back to their
00:14yacht. At some point on the journey, Lynette fell into the water and authorities say strong currents
00:19carried her away quickly. Her husband lost sight of her almost immediately or so he says. Brian
00:24reported his wife missing around 4 a.m. and a search and rescue mission was launched.
00:28As for whether any foul play was involved, Lynette's daughter Carly, Brian's stepdaughter,
00:32certainly hinted something could be amiss. Here she is on Fox News Wednesday.
00:37There's history of him choking her out and threatening to throw her overboard so
00:42the fact that this is actually happening makes me believe there's more to the story.
00:48Now Brian broke his silence too, posting online with his explanation of what happened.
00:53He blamed, quote, unpredictable seas and high winds that caused my beloved Lynette
00:57to fall from our small dinghy near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas. Despite desperate attempts to reach
01:02her, the winds and currents drove us further apart. And he ended his post saying that the search for
01:07his wife is his, quote, soul focus.
