Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield

Did Brian Hooker and Lynette Hooker actually make it back to their sailboat, Soulmate, the night she vanished? In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down a stunning new development in the disappearance of Lynette Hooker in the Bahamas: multiple witnesses reportedly saw flares coming from the Hookers’ sailboat before 9 p.m., even though Brian has claimed he and Lynette never made it back to the boat. Ashleigh also reveals new surveillance video from Lubbers Quarters, looking across the Sea of Abaco toward Elbow Cay and the area where Soulmate was anchored, raising fresh questions about Brian’s timeline, the dinghy route, the wind direction, and whether a small dark object seen near the boats could be the Hookers’ dinghy returning to Soulmate. Plus, new details about Lynette’s Apple Watch, her blue headscarf, possible witness video from Elbow Cay, and the lingering question at the center of it all: if flares were fired from the sailboat, who fired them... and why?

Brian Hooker’s past with AT&T is raising new questions in the search for his missing wife, Lynette Hooker. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield digs into new claims about Hooker’s alleged GPS tampering history, his tech background, and whether he may have known far more about phones, Wi-Fi, Starlink, and emergency communications than he initially let on. We also sit down with Blaine Stevenson, a sailor and friend of Brian and Lynette Hooker.

A haunting new clue in the disappearance of Lynette Hooker is putting the yacht timeline under a microscope: the Apple Watch she was seen wearing the day she vanished ended up back on the Soulmate. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the mystery of Lynette’s Apple Watch, the new photo from the day she disappeared, and the questions it raises about Brian Hooker’s account of what happened in the waters off the Bahamas. If Lynette was wearing that watch before she vanished, how did it get back to the yacht?

Lynette Hooker is still missing in the Bahamas, and now there is a bombshell new photo from the last day she was seen that shows a critical detail: Lynette appears to be wearing her Apple Watch.
