Search for missing American in Bahamas

The disappearance of 55-year-old Lynette Hooker has sparked a criminal investigation involving both Bahamian authorities and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Hooker's husband initially reported that she fell from their dinghy during a nighttime trip in rough seas, but her daughter has raised suspicions of foul play.

Police took a 59-year-old American male into custody on Wednesday for questioning as divers continue to search the waters near Hope Town.

The family is awaiting further updates as the investigation into the Easter weekend tragedy intensifies.
