## Resource

Lynette Hooker’s mother, Darlene Hamlett, and her husband Bill sit down with Ashleigh after the latest search in the Lynette Hooker suspected murder investigation, reacting to the dinghy now in Coast Guard hands, the evidence turned over by Bahamian police, and the new route information that appears to blow up Brian’s story about drifting helplessly across the Sea of Abaco. Darlene and Bill also reveal what they know about a secret “off-the-grid” cabin tied to Brian’s family and deliver a chilling warning to Brian Hooker and the people around him: watch your back. Brian Hooker says Lynette “bounced” off the back of their dinghy and vanished. Darlene says she is not going away, the Coast Guard is not going away, and if Brian knows anything, it is time to come forward. Brian Hooker has not been charged with a crime.
