    Soulmate Is Gone: Coast Guard Moves Brian Hooker’s Boat as Case Heats Up | Lynette Hooker Missing

    2026/05/26 | 45 mins.
    Soulmate is gone, and that may be the biggest signal yet that the Lynette Hooker case is moving into a new phase. The 46-foot sailboat Brian Hooker shared with his missing wife has now been moved from the Coast Guard station in Fort Pierce to Fort Lauderdale, after investigators spent days treating the vessel like a crime scene, removing items, bagging evidence, and keeping the boat under scrutiny. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield discusses growing questions around Brian Hooker’s timeline, and the stunning claim that he waited more than 14 hours before calling Lynette’s mother after she vanished. Ashleigh also walks through new search footage from Marsh Harbour that raises serious doubts about Brian’s story of walking through scrub, sludge, mangroves, and darkness before reaching help. With the Royal Bahamas Police Force and Coast Guard Investigative Service both investigating, the case of missing wife Lynette Hooker appears to be heating up fast.

    Haunting New Clues: Brian Hooker says Lynette Hooker vanished on April 4, 2026, after “bouncing” off the back of their dinghy in the Sea of Abaco. But the clues aboard Soulmate, the 46-foot sailboat anchored near Aunt Pat’s Bay, may raise much darker questions. This episode digs into cameras aboard Soulmate, possible Blink camera footage, Apple Watch and Starlink questions, power logs, apps, engine data, scuba tanks, dive weights, dumbbells, and what the Coast Guard Investigative Service may be looking for after the CGIS raid at Fort Pierce. As the search for answers in Lynette Hooker’s disappearance continues, the biggest question remains: Did Brian Hooker make it back to Soulmate that night?

    2026/05/16 | 1h 8 mins.
    A witness says they heard a “massive splash” near Soulmate around 9:30 p.m. the night Lynette Hooker vanished, and now one of the first rescuers on scene is raising major questions about Brian Hooker’s story. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield speaks with Jim Todd of Hope Town Volunteer Fire & Rescue, one of the first people to pull Brian Hooker onto the rescue boat after he reportedly washed up in Marsh Harbour. Todd breaks down the new timeline details, the flare reports, what allegedly happened near Soulmate, and why Brian’s claim that he tried to get help after losing Lynette may be, in Todd’s words, “totally implausible.” Donate to Hopetown Fire & Rescue: https://www.htvfr.org
