    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.

In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the image that may blow a hole straight through Brian’s “angry seas” story, along with the new questions surrounding the dinghy, the electric motor, the missing battery telemetry, the FLIR camera on Soulmate, and the latest search areas in the Bahamas. Brian Hooker has not been charged with a crime and is presumed innocent.

    Brian Hooker told the world Lynette “bounced” off the back of the dinghy and vanished in the Sea of Abaco, but now a boatyard security guard’s account is raising new questions about the story Brian told in the first hours after she disappeared. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the latest contradictions in the Lynette Hooker case, from the 7 p.m. timeline problem to the dry bag mystery, the flare discrepancy, the alleged 9-hour drift, and the new questions surrounding Soulmate, Starlink, Gemini AI maps, scuba gear, dive weights, and Lynette’s Apple Watch.
