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.
