Brian Hooker released in Bahamas

Brian Hooker had been in custody for several days after reporting that his wife fell overboard from their dinghy in rough waters near Hope Town.

While he maintains his innocence, newly revealed text messages suggest that Lynette Hooker had concerns about their life at sea and her husband's behavior prior to the trip.

Family members have cast doubt on Brian's account of the incident, citing a history of marital strain.

Bahamian officials confirmed that while Hooker has been released, he remains a person of interest in the ongoing investigation.
