Summary
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 Go to http://vanman.shop/banfield and use code BANFIELD for 15% off your first order.
