## Resource

A major new development in the disappearance of Lynette Hooker: the U.S. Coast Guard has seized Soulmate, the 46-foot sailboat Lynette shared with her husband, Brian Hooker, after it reportedly left the Bahamas and was intercepted offshore on its way back to the United States. Exclusive photos and video show the boat being towed into the Coast Guard station in Fort Pierce, Florida, where it is now in U.S. custody as part of a criminal investigation. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down how Soulmate left Marsh Harbour after weeks on a mooring ball, how the boat was tracked across the water, why the Coast Guard Investigative Service may now have the biggest piece of evidence in the case, and what investigators could be looking for onboard, including forensic evidence, digital data, electronics, clothing, and anything that could challenge Brian Hooker’s account of Lynette allegedly going overboard from the dinghy. https://www.gofundme.com/f/Lynette-Hooker-Missing-in-Bahamas
