BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

So if you fall in overnight, it's a light activated on the PFD.

I also have what's called an EPIRB, an electronic satellite on my PFD.

BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

So if I fall overboard, my PFD pings up to a satellite and then the Coast Guard knows where I am.

He said she wasn't wearing a PFD, but then they found...

If he wasn't wearing a PFD, then it'd be hard to see at night.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

I mean, I don't know what the moonlight was like, the star lights, but if he's driving a boat at night, he can see enough to operate a vessel.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

He would be able to see somebody in the water that was near to him.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

If he's looking out for, you know, it's the Bahamas, there's reefs, there's channel markers, there's buoys, there's other boats.

So there's enough light that he can operate the vessel.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

There's enough light that he can see somebody floating in the water who's not super far away from him.

And if she was conscious, she would be yelling and waving her hands.

BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

Or if she was unconscious, she'd still be floating at the surface so he could see her and be able to see her and then paddle to her and recover her back onto the dinghy.

In America, NOAA has buoys, and you can get historical data on the buoys of what the sea state was, how big the waves are, the wind.

I know the water temperature in the Bahamas right now is about 76 or 77.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

So, you know, people don't think that you can get hypothermia in the Bahamas, but after about

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

It varies 15 to 20 hours, 25 hours.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

You can still get hypothermia in the Bahamas if you're in water that long.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

But if you want to check out the sea state, I don't know if Bahamas has something akin to the NOAA buoys that we have in the United States looking at the sea state.
