but under Bahamian law, Hooker had to be charged or released from jail by yesterday evening.

Mr. Hooker, taken into custody last Wednesday, four days after he says his wife Lynette fell from their small dinghy into the water and was then swept away by strong currents.

Brian telling police Lynette was wearing the engine key to the dinghy, causing the boat to lose power when she went overboard.

Brian, with

no power and just a paddle in the small boat, says he drifted across the bay, eventually making landfall around 4 a.m.

Sunday, roughly four miles from where he says Lynette went overboard.

Once on land, Brian encountering a security guard at a nearby boatyard, telling him Lynette had fallen into the sea.

He also reportedly said the two had been drinking before the incident.

Key details in Brian's account raising questions from both friends and family.

Lynette's daughter, Carly Aylesworth, also raising doubts, telling multiple outlets Brian typically operated the dinghy, making it unlikely Lynette would have had the key.

Aylesworth going public in the days after her mother's disappearance, describing a volatile relationship between her mother and stepfather of more than two decades.

Lynette's mother, Darlene Hamlet, echoing those same concerns, detailing a pattern of alleged abuse Friday on Ashley Banfield's Drop Dead Serious podcast.

And so this is where we're at now.

Michigan court records show Brian Hooker was acquitted of a child abuse charge back in 2006, according to NBC News.

In 2015, Lynette reportedly arrested on assault charges, but a warrant was ultimately denied, with authorities citing insufficient evidence to determine who initiated the incident.

A Michigan police report from that night shows both Lynette and Brian accused each other of assault.

The search effort turning up very little so far.

Searchers reportedly recovering a flotation device Brian claims he threw to Lynette after she fell from the dinghy.

Lynette's mother telling Banfield her daughter's Apple Watch was also uncovered in the search, though it is unclear to her where it was found.
