Brian Hooker says wife Lynette fell overboard from dinghy but family members have cast doubt on that account
Police in the Bahamas on Monday were set to again interview a US man who said his wife fell overboard from their boat.
In a statement on Sunday to the Guardian, Brian Hooker’s attorney, Terrel Butler, said: “The police have requested another interview with [Brian Hooker] tomorrow.”
The request came after police on Friday evening extended Hooker’s custody by 72 hours, shortly after interviewing him for more than three hours.
Hooker had previously told police that his 55-year-old wife, Lynette – to whom he has been married for more than two decades – went missing on 4 April after she fell overboard from their 8ft, hard-bottom dinghy while they were en route from Hope Town to Elbow Cay.
