CBS News has learned the sailboat used by Brian and Lynette Hooker in their travels around the Bahamas before her disappearance had an infrared camera capable of detecting heat radiation. The camera aboard their boat, made by technology company FLIR, can also operate with a cloud memory system, which could hold key evidence in the search for Lynette Hooker. Her husband reported to local authorities on April 5 that she fell overboard during a nighttime dinghy ride.The camera was aboard their sailboat, the "Soulmate," when it was seized by the U.S. Coast Guard earlier this month, according to sources familiar with the investigation. While it is not known if Brian Hooker used the camera, it is currently being processed as part of the ongoing probe, according to sources.
