More details are emerging about the relationship between a Michigan woman who disappeared on a nighttime boat trip in the Bahamas and her husband, who has been arrested and labeled a suspect in the case.
Brian and Lynette Hooker got into an argument that turned bloody at their Michigan home in 2015, according to a police report obtained by NBC News on Thursday, April 9.
Each spouse was drunk and accused the other of assault, according to the report. Police weren't able to conclude who started it but because Brian Hooker had the only visible injury − a bloody nose − Lynette Hooker was arrested on charges of assault and battery and spent the night in county jail, the police report says.
USA TODAY has requested the report, as well as one detailing a child abuse charge against Brian Hooker in 2005. A jury later found him not guilty in that case, court records show.
Meanwhile Brian Hooker's attorney is defending his client as Lynette Hooker's daughter − Karli Aylesworth − raises questions about her stepfather's account of what happened in the Bahamas and what she says are his previous threats against her mom.
