BAHAMAS OVERBOARD: SEARCH FOR MICHIGAN MOM LYNETTE HOOKER

So Brian and Lynette were out to dinner on Saturday night and they had used this dinghy boat, this eight foot dinghy to leave the yacht to go to that dinner.

Brian said that on the way back from dinner to the yacht on the dinghy that they experienced some rough weather and that as we establish Lynette was wearing this

key to the dinghy and she fell off the boat.

He said when she did that, he was unable to reach her, so he spent several hours paddling this dinghy back to shore, where he then reported her missing to the local police around 4 o'clock on Sunday morning.

So after Lynette was reported missing, we're told by Bahamian police that they immediately began to search for her in the air and in the water and spent about six hours looking for her on Sunday, and they were not able to find her in the water or anywhere else.

And maybe the argument could be made that they were so experienced that they felt they didn't need to wear those.

I mean, part of Brian's story is that he did throw her some sort of flotation device that ended up coming to the surface later.

Yeah, that's exactly right from what I've been able to gather.
