With that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Rose. We've kept a close eye on this story from the moment we heard that a Michigan woman went overboard in a dinghy with her husband. In the Bahamas, he's now been arrested.
Unknown 2:31
We heard from the woman's daughter who raised some questions. Now we are hearing from his friend, the accused friend who, quite frankly, Robes, some of the stuff he said is more damning than anything we've heard so far. Yes, this was fascinating. First of all, why his friend would share these text messages he received from Brian Hooker, who, yes, has been under arrest since Wednesday in the disappearance of his wife, 55-year-old Lynette Hooker. He has not been charged yet, we should point out. And police... It's a little interesting what the Bahamian officials said, but they said they had 48 hours to either charge him or release him. That would be at some point today. But then they added they can also extend that for another 96 hours if they think it's necessary.
Unknown 3:18
So he could be behind bars for a few more days before charges are filed. But these new text messages, whoo. They say a lot. And right now, this case is a case of he said and she can't say anything because she is presumed dead. This is a search and recovery at this point. But this was last Saturday robes. Brian Hooker, 58 and Lynette Hooker, 55, 55. They've been married now. How long? 25 years. All right. So they go out in a boat. These are avid boat. They know what they're doing on the water. His story is they go out on the water around sundown. She some kind of way falls over into the water. They get separated. He couldn't recover her. She has the key to the boat. on her when she goes into the water, according to him, and then he has to essentially paddle back to shore, took several hours, that's his story, and he's sticking to it, Robes.
Unknown 4:09
Not long after that, the daughter of Lynette started speaking and saying, this doesn't make, she didn't flat out accuse, but she at least raised some questions.
