April 14 (UPI) -- Brian Hooker, an American man released from police custody this week in the Bahamas after his wife went missing, said he won't stop looking for her.
Brian Hooker, 58, said his wife Lynette Hooker, 55, fell overboard from the dinghy they were in on April 5, while holding the boat's keys.
Brian Hooker said he tried to save her, but paddled to shore when he lost sight of her in the strong current before paddling from Elbow Cay to Marsh Harbor Boat Yard on Abaco Island -- about 5 miles to 8 miles -- before notifying police.
Police took him into custody April 8.
Brian Hooker told CBS News that he wants to believe his wife is still alive, and he plans to go back and search for her as soon as he can.
