Missing woman in the Bahamas

Missing woman in the Bahamas

Authorities in Freeport are recreating the dinghy's route as they search for clues in the disappearance of 55-year-old Lynette Hooker.

Her husband, Brian, has reportedly told friends he "should have known better" than to take the small vessel out in difficult conditions.

However, Bahamian police are considering murder charges, and Hooker's attorney has stated his client must be charged or released by Monday night.

Maps provided by Hooker to other boaters are being analyzed by investigators to pinpoint the exact location of the incident.
