About this episode

This episode explores the suspicious actions of Brian Hooker following the disappearance of his wife, Lynette, in the Bahamas.

Brian Hooker told the world he would never stop searching for his missing wife, Lynette Hooker, but witnesses in the Bahamas are now telling a very different story. In this episode of Drop Dead Seious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down what Brian was allegedly doing in the days after Lynette vanished from the Sea of Abaco, including new witness accounts that he was seen hanging around the Conch Inn while others searched the water for his wife. We also dig into the timeline from Abaco Inn to Marsh Harbour, the Soulmate yacht still sitting on its mooring ball, the strange questions around Brian’s dinghy story, and why his version of that night keeps getting harder to square with the geography, the weather, and the people who were actually there.
