He talks about the fire and rescue teams, the Bahamas Police Force, the Bahamas Defense Force, the U.S.

Coast Guard.

He says everyone who's worked tirelessly in an ongoing effort to bring Lynette back to us.

Thank you to everyone for keeping Lynette in your thoughts and for your support of our family during this difficult time.

That was just hours ago that he put this statement out, and now he is under arrest.

This is the Bahamian justice system.

in high winds it's just not how people talk and if you just had gone through something that traumatic where he is claiming he saw his wife oh my god beloved words fall off a boat in front of him he could do nothing to save her according to him based on the conditions they were both in and the fact that he then lost power of the boat because she had the keys and the boat

basically stopped operating when she fell into the water.

I'm just thinking about how you would describe that.

It wouldn't be clinical.

And look, I guess I do want to, and you always say this, hold space for the fact that we don't know how we would react in a situation until it happens to us.

But this just felt very clinical, very...

just strategic where you're actually trying to lay a case about what happened that had nothing to do with you, but there's no emotion there.

It just feels very performative.

I don't know.

And then we heard the voicemail that he left his stepdaughter where he told her that your mom's missing.

She fell out of the boat.

And he basically, the whole point of the voicemail was for him to establish that he tried to throw a life preserver to her.

And that they found the life preserver, but they didn't find her and they didn't know if she ever got it or not.

But he wanted to let her know he tried.
