In a chilling video obtained by TMZ, Brian Hooker is seen calmly explaining to another boat captain how his wife, Lynette, went overboard near the Bahamas—just two days after her disappearance.
The footage, recorded on April 6—two days before Hooker faced questioning from the Royal Bahamas Police Force—captures a conversation between Hooker and a fellow seafarer. Both men stand on their respective vessels, with Hooker aboard his boat, "Soulmate."
Hooker recounts that Lynette fell over the side of the boat the previous night, after which he paddled to a nearby island. He had previously told a friend the couple was separated due to high winds.
The other boater offers assistance, noting he'll be around if Hooker needs anything. Hooker responds that he might require help with his anchor, as he has never hauled it up alone. The concerned captain expresses sympathy for Hooker's situation, but Hooker appears more preoccupied with his immediate practical needs.
The video sheds new light on the mysterious disappearance of Lynette Hooker, which has captivated public attention as authorities continue their investigation.
