Missing boater mystery in the Bahamas

A new recording has emerged which appears to show Brian Hooker describing the night his wife went missing, admitting they had been drinking and he 'should have known better.' His lawyer stated that Hooker is in an 'extremely fragile state' and injured his knee after falling overboard himself during the police search.

The couple had a history of domestic contention, including previous assault claims, which has intensified the focus of the investigation.

Bahamian authorities are expected to announce on Monday whether formal charges will be filed as the search for Lynette Hooker continues in shark-infested waters.
