About this episode

Ashleigh Banfield discusses new developments in the Lynette Hooker case, including GPS data and a potential Coast Guard dive search.

In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the latest reporting in the Lynette Hooker case, including the new GPS data, the search areas now under scrutiny, missing gear from Soulmate, and why investigators may be closing in on whether Brian Hooker’s account of drifting for hours in the water can hold up.
