ABACO ISLANDS, Bahamas (Michigan News Source) – The mystery surrounding missing Michigan boater Lynette Hooker has taken another dramatic turn, with federal investigators renewing the search in the Bahamas after newly analyzed GPS data reportedly contradicted key parts of husband Brian Hooker’s account of what happened the night she vanished.

Lynette, 55, disappeared April 4 while returning to the couple’s sailboat, Soulmate, by dinghy in the Abaco Islands. Her husband, Brian Hooker, told authorities she fell overboard in rough seas and was swept away. He was detained and questioned by Bahamian police but has never been charged with any crimes related to his wife’s disappearance.

Investigators are now examining two separate pieces of tracking evidence in Lynette Hooker’s disappearance. According to reports, the couple’s sailboat, Soulmate, stopped transmitting its Automatic Identification System (AIS) location data for roughly 11 hours the night Lynette vanished.

At the same time, authorities say GPS information recovered from Brian Hooker’s phone allegedly showed movements that did not match his original account of events. The GPS information on Brian Hooker’s phone suggests the dinghy traveled through areas that were never searched, prompting the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal agencies to seek a new dive operation in the Sea of Abaco.

The AIS blackout and the phone-based GPS data involve different tracking systems, and investigators are reportedly analyzing both as part of the ongoing investigation.

Meanwhile, the couple’s sailboat has been seized and moved to Florida for a detailed forensic examination as investigators look for additional evidence. Federal authorities are also analyzing physical and digital evidence as part of the expanding investigation which Fox News has reported is being investigated as a homicide.
