Exclusive: Daughter Reveals Harrowing New Details & Text Messages | Lynette Hooker Missing Bahamas

0:00Hey everybody, I'm Ashley Bamfield and this has dropped dead serious. I've got a lot of updates for you. On the story out of the Bahamas, an American woman is missing. Her husband is being detained after telling the royal Bahamian police that she just fell overboard. And then I drifted for nine hours and then called the police. And there's a whole lot more to it. In my episode yesterday, I was pretty specific about the facts that we know so far. But today I've learned a lot more about this case. I've had a long conversation with Lynette Hooker's daughter. Lynette is the woman who's missing. Lynette and her husband Brian Hooker, the two of them, had set sail in their retirement and were living on a boat called Solmey. There's a 55-foot keelboat and they were sailing in the Bahamas and they were specifically in the northern part of the Bahamas, you know, Bahamas is islands and islands and islands

1:01and the abaco islands are up in the northern part of the Bahamas. And one particular area is called Elbo-Key. And if you look on a map, you can see it's a six-mile-long barrier island and it's located in the abaco islands. And that's where they were. The boat was moored. They had used a tender, one of those little rubberized eight-foot dinghy's to go to shore and go to a restaurant and as they were coming back in the dinghy, Brian told the police that Lynette just bounced out and she had the key and the engine wouldn't work without her and the current took her away and that was that. I had so many questions about an engine that needs a key when it's an itty-bitty little engine because we've now confirmed that the pictures you're seeing were the actual little dinghy in question, the tender, the eight-foot tender with that little electric motor on the back that only goes a couple of knots super slow. So bounced out, hard time believing that even with waves, you go like that, you wouldn't

2:03go bang, bang, bang because it doesn't get a lot of speed. And then the issue with the keys, interestingly, Carly Ailsworth, Lynette's daughter has cleared up a lot of information for me regarding that engine and the keys. And it's like a kill switch, it's something you actually plug in, it's got a string off of it and it gets the engine going and it would require that Lynette would have probably been at the helm to have grabbed the string, pulled it out and took it with her as she's going overboard. So a lot of that, again, pretty hard to believe, I'll suspend disbelief in the interest of everybody deserves, you know, you're not guilty till proven. So anyway, Brian Hooker has been detained in the Bahamas, he's not charged yet. As of this recording and it is 11.40 a.m. on Wednesday, April 9th, Thursday, April 9th.

3:07And so we're watching developments in the Bahamas, but I do have some really interesting information. I've been scratching my head about the story that Brian told the police. He left the restaurant with Lynette at 7.30 at night to head back out to their yacht. From the land, they had to head back out to their yacht using this little tender, which is what I call it, it's just a rubberized dinghy with a hard bottom. That was at 7.30 at night, but it wasn't until 4 o'clock in the morning that he ended up floating slash paddling slash blowing in the wind and beeching up on land and going through all of the brush, according to authorities, to find help and then call police, almost nine hours. So I kept wondering what was going on for those nine hours. And interestingly, Carly has told me that she's been able to actually track Brian's movements using the automatic identification system, AIS tracking system, basically it's a shipboard system, it uses transponders to plot your course, your speed, your real

4:16time position and data. And she's actually seen this course that he said he took. The data actually shows that he did blow that entire course. So that is super interesting. And it's certainly, that speaks well for his case that he has told the Bahamian police. But there are a lot of other really disturbing things that I've learned. This relationship was not good, according to Carly Ailsworth, Lynette's daughter. She has shared text messages with me, which I'm going to share with you in a moment. These are text messages that her mother texted to a friend about leaving Brian. Carly has told me that the circumstances were so bad that she had tried to leave him twice before, but that financially she felt tied to him. She felt as though her mother and Brian had been drinking a lot lately and said that, this is what Carly said, that Carly's mom, Lynette said that when Brian was drinking, it was so

5:22bad, it was embarrassing for the people around them to see his behavior. So there was talk of divorce, according to Carly, her mother had talked about divorce. And when I specifically asked Carly if she thinks that her stepfather killed her mom, her answer is harrowing. So you're going to see that entire conversation at just a moment. But I want to read for you some of the text messages that Lynette shared with a friend of hers. Some of them are from 2015 and some of them are from 2022. So let me start with the text message most recently from 2022. Lynette says to her friend, nothing but fighting since we bought the boat. Then he started turning to insults. So I packed my stuff and left. I'm in Florida visiting parents. I'm okay with it. I feel nothing.

6:22It's something I probably should have done 15 years ago. But now I need to find a job. I gave up everything I worked for. There's nothing to fight over. It's scary and exciting at the same time. I'm lucky to have awesome parents who support me, but I'll never marry again. Those again are messages from Lynette to her friend in 2022. And in one text to the same friend in 2015, Lynette says, I was warned. He came with too much baggage. You should know that as Carly describes it, her mom and Brian were retired. And they were living on their 55-foot keelboat called Soulmate and sailing around. So this was supposed to be, you know, living the dream and retirement. And that, you know, if her mom wanted to leave, there was really nowhere to go because

7:27this was their home other than going to her parents or coming back to mainland USA and being with family. So it's just sort of telling the circumstance that Lynette Hooker was in at the time that she disappeared. It really seems to think there may have been life insurance, something that her mom may have been able to get from her prior job. She's not sure about that, but you'll hear how she describes it in our interview. I do want to share with you a GoFundMe that Carly has started. She wants to travel to the Bahamas to try to figure out what is going on with Royal Bahamey and police with this investigation. Will they charge him? She wants to see where this happened. Obviously, if this was your mom, you would want to go right away to lay eyes on this and make sure that what should be happening is happening. And so she and her family have launched help, find, and honor my missing mom. Again, help, find, and honor my missing mom. It's Carly Ailsworth's GoFundMe.

8:28And I think you'll notice in that GoFundMe, this is very sad that she's acknowledging that it's likely her mom is not alive because she's saying that the money that's raised will not only help her to travel there, but may also be used to help lay her mom to rest. It's very, very sad. Anyway, help, find, and honor my missing mom is the GoFundMe. I also want to let you know that even though no formal charges have been announced against Brian Hooker, the lawyer who purports to be representing him has put out a statement. Tarell Butler in the Bahamas has released this statement and she says Mr. Hooker categorically and unequivocally denies any wrongdoing and in particular, the allegations recently made by Carly Ailsworth. He has been cooperating with the relevant authorities as part of an ongoing investigation. Mr. Hooker cannot provide further comments to the media or the public at this time while the investigations are ongoing.

9:28So again, that is Tarell Butler, Bahamian attorney apparently retained by Brian Hooker as he is in limbo at this point. And again, it's early in the day on Thursday. It's just before 12 noon, Thursday, April 9th. So by day's end, who knows if they'll be charges or not, but you know, it took four days before an investigation was even opened. And it didn't happen right away with the Bahamians. It happened with the US Coast Guard. Last night, late, I had to rush back and redo the top of the podcast because everything I done all day, the recording had no investigation on day four. And this is day five today. And late in the evening, the US Coast Guard in the Bahamas opened its own investigation and then today we learned that there is this criminal investigation. In fact, I think late, late, late last night, we learned that he was being detained. No criminal charges yet, but that there is this local criminal investigation that's ongoing. So here now is my conversation with Carly Ailesworth, Lennetra Cruz's daughter.

10:31And you know, she's had a very long night. She's exhausted. She's talked to the press. She's talked to the authorities. She's talked to the US Coast Guard. They're helping to liaison with her. She's talked to the US Embassy. So this has been a living hell. So I'm very appreciative that she gave me this time, but here's our conversation. Actually what is the latest that you've heard from the Bahamian authorities or the US Coast Guard? I heard from my lawyer that it turned into a criminal investigation last night. And last I knew he got a lawyer in the Bahamas to represent him. Has Brian made any overtures to you other than that initial voicemail and email that he sent? He sent me some texts and he has called a couple times, but otherwise no. And when he called, were you able to answer the phone? Did you have a conversation with him? No, I did not. I just let it go to voicemail.

11:33And what effectively did he say in those texts and voicemails? Just that he wants to be there for Rosie and I, his other daughter, and that he's doing what he can to look for her. Were you able to ask him any questions back, meaning what happened, lay it out for me, sort of get them on the record, saying what he says happened to your mom? When he called me Sunday night, I was still in shock when he was talking to me, so I didn't really say much. I just said, okay, it's just trying to process that. He tried to say that he was going to come up and visit, and we would like to see us, but I didn't respond to that, and then he quickly got off the phone. And this is like 24 hours after your mom had disappeared, right? That he made this first contact with you? Yeah. Were you surprised on Sunday night when you got this information, and did he say anything

12:38about why he waited so long to tell you? He did not tell me why I know, but I was very surprised that this happened, yes. What's your relationship with Brian Hooker? He's been in my life for about 25 years now, since I was about 40 years old. He has always been there. He acted like another parent to me. I just know that him and his mom had some rocky issues, but they never dragged me into it, so yeah. So effectively, I saw one of the messages he said, it's dad, when he reached out to you. Did you call him dad? No. I called him Brian. He was my stepdad. Was it weird that in the message he said, Carly, it's dad? No, it's not weird. He has referenced that he's dad before, but I never called him that. It seemed as though in the Facebook statement, and let me get your impression of his Facebook

13:41statement that he put out yesterday. It was really sad to see. I know he loved her in his own way a lot. I just, I don't know, it just sucks to see right now. Yeah, did you think at all that it sounded defensive before it sounded concerned about your mom? I don't know. I don't know. Tell me a little bit about the relationship you said that it's been rocky. How rocky in what way? Just that they get into fights more often when they drink, and I guess lately they've been drinking more, so I'm just concerned that something happened that can't be undone.

14:47And you know that they have been drinking more in what way, and how do you know that? Yes. My grandma told me that she's been confiding in her and her relationship problems and that they've been fighting more, and that it's been embarrassing for other people to witness. She did send me a voice message one night that she was really drunk, but I just kind of ignored it. I was like, okay mom, she's like, I'll talk to you in the morning. I was like, okay, so I just kind of brushed it off, not thinking. Like I knew drinking was a problem in their relationship. They went about a year and a half being sober because I knew the problems that would arise, but I just kind of, it's like, okay, she's an adult. She can handle it herself, I guess. Were you concerned about the level of drinking between the two of them? Yes, drinking has not really good for my family, it seems so.

15:49I just wish it never started again. Do you know anything about where your mom and Brian were before they set out on the dinghy? They, I know they went to elbow-k, I think it was, to go to a restaurant, that's all I know. Has anyone in the restaurant had you had a chance to talk to anyone in the restaurant about their condition or what was happening in that restaurant before they left? No. Is it normal for them to go ashore, go to a restaurant, and then go back out to the boat? Yeah. And the dinghy, I've seen in their social media, Brian driving around in a small dinghy, and I wondered if that's the dinghy that Brian is referring to. Yes. It's that small dinghy in the pictures. So on the back of that dinghy is a very small engine. It almost looks like it's a two or four horsepower. Do you know anything about that engine?

16:49It's an electric engine, it goes on the couple knots. Very slow. Yeah, not the kind of thing that you would bounce around driving, yeah. And did he at some point say that your mom had bounced out of the dinghy? Yes, he did say that. Did he describe that any other way, like is there any more description to what he said? Nope. Have you ever seen anybody bounce out of that dinghy at the slow speed that it goes? No. Yeah, even with big waves, even if you were to go over someone's waves, it would almost feel like you'd go over them like a cork, not bounce over them with any kind of momentum, right? You're right. And let's talk a little bit about the keys. Everybody talks about the keys. Is it one of those kill switches that you put around your wrist with a coil that goes into the engine? No. I mentioned it on a little string. It goes on like almost like a jet ski word, but it just clicks in with a little string dangling from it.

17:50And what happens? So you put that sort of system into the electric engine and it starts it? Yep. How would it go overboard? I mean, if you're driving, and would somebody have it around their wrist or be holding onto it? Like, how did I'm trying to envision how that key could have gone overboard? It's, I've never seen anyone wrap it around their wrist. So I'm not really sure how she got it. She would have to really, I don't understand how someone could grab onto it when they're in the middle of falling. It seems odd. Was there a coiling, a coiling kind of string on it or was it just simply a device with you know, some kind of a keychain on it? Just a device with like a little rope on it, a little rope. And was, did Brian say that your mom was driving? Uh, she, when I, every time I drove with them, she never drives the dinghy.

18:53It's always Brian. Did he claim that she was driving that night? I don't believe so, no. Is it possible that there would have ever been a circumstance where maybe Brian had had too much to drink and Lynette took over the helm? Uh, maybe, but I highly doubt it. She, she know how to drive the dinghy, could she have driven by herself if she wanted to? Yes, she could. And she's a strong swimmer, right? Yes. As is he, I think I saw that he's a Marine. Yes. So I'm trying to figure out that he says to the police that they left elbow key at 730 at night. But he didn't wash up on shore after having paddled and drifted for about nine hours. Yeah. Have you been able to see the distance that he's talking about? Yes. I, someone got into his AIS system so they could see where he was and it looked like he

19:55went up elbow key like early in the morning, Sunday. But I don't really know what happened between 730 and the time he went up the coast. What's the AIS system? It's like a tracking system for the boat. But that would be a tracking system for soulmate, the yacht, right? Not necessarily the, the, the small dinghy. Um, there weren't, there is one for the boat, but I also think there, he has it on his phone. And so did you see his trajectory like, did you actually, could you trace that he actually did float all the distance that he said he did? Um, it did say that they were in elbow key or K by the restaurant and then later on that night it went up the coast. And you could actually see the distance that it had traveled. Any idea how far he had traveled in that boat in the, in the dinghy? No idea. But it did show that that dinghy traveled, uh, the distance that, um, he's talking about.

21:02Mm hmm. Did the police know about that? Yeah, I showed, um, the coast guard. It's fascinating. Also, um, tell me a little bit about what the coast guard has told you. Um, from what I got when they were here, just that they were getting all the facts to know what could possibly go on. Um, and then they went to Jackson to talk to more of our friends and family. But the coast guard, uh, is working in the Bahamas. I think I read that the Coast Guard was part of the actual search and rescue teams in the beginning, right? Yeah. The US Coast Guard's presence in the Bahamas at, at the Avaco Islands. Yeah. And so are you dealing directly with the folks in the Bahamas that the Coast Guard representatives who are actually on site? I have not talked to them. I have talked to the US Embassy in the Bahamas just this morning, um, finally got a call from them. So I know they're starting to do like their investigations and whatnot.

22:08What did they tell you, the US Embassy? Um, what exactly did they tell us? That they're not ones that do the investigation? Oh, that they're not the ones that, that to do the investigation. And they can be a liaison to help us. They can be a liaison to help us. And so you've got to contact at the US Embassy now, at least that can help you understand the process and what comes next. Yes. Is anyone from your family at this point thinking of, um, going over to the Bahamas, uh, to, to speak directly with the Royal Bahamian police? Uh, I think my step sister was thinking about going down there. I know his sisters are already down there. I was planning on going down there to look eventually if I can raise enough money, but otherwise no one has talked to them yet. And you have a go fund me, right? Yes. What's the name of your go fund me? It is help find and honor my missing mom. So at this point, we don't know if Brian Hooker has actually been charged with this,

23:10right? Just that he's being detained. Right. Has anybody told you anything about the criminal investigation at this point, and what they have found and what they haven't found? No, they have not, but still no sign of your mom. When you first heard the news that your mom was missing, did you suspect something nefarious right away? I was too in shock when I was being told, but as I was processing it, stuff just didn't add up to me. It just seems very unlikely that she would just fall overboard. And why would she be swimming away from the boat? Why wouldn't she be swimming towards the dinghy? Or why didn't he drop anchor and look for her? Just doesn't really make sense. Does the dinghy have an anchor? Yes. And do you have any idea? Did anyone tell you about the actual currents in the place that they were between the yacht and land?

24:10I did read somewhere that it was only a couple of knots. The wind or the current was, but I did read that it was very windy, but the knots in the water, the tide, was not going that fast. So it didn't sound plausible. I mean, usually where you anchor, it's safe harbor. It's a place where you're not going to be yanking on your anchor all night. So the distance between any idea how far from land, the yacht was when they anchored and then took the dinghy into land. Like, how long was that journey that they had to make? They did have to cross some water to get to the other island, but it's not very far if it's in the dinghy, right? Any idea how far? Do you know how far? No idea. I've never been there. I was at a different island when I was there with them. And also, do you have any idea how bad the weather really was? Because he said the weather was, you know, really bad. And that's why Lynette fell over.

25:13I just know it was about 20 miles per hour winds. And it was about three knots the tide was. But not roiling seas and rain and thunder and lightning. It wasn't a storm of any kind. Yeah, no. I don't believe they would go out in the storm like that anyways. Yeah, it doesn't seem to make sense. I mean, the whole thing just seems very odd. I have seen comments about Brian's temper in the past, things that you've witnessed. Can you tell me things that you've seen with regard to Brian's temper? He gets away with his emotions sometimes. I've seen him do stuff to his daughter out of anger. And now I'm worried that it's happened to my mom. And it's something that he can't undo. Have you ever seen him be violent with your mom? I've heard stories from her, but I haven't seen it with her.

26:14I have seen it happen with his daughter. The same stuff that she describes happened to her. Can you tell me what you saw with Brian and his daughter? They were talking about something religious because she's super religious and he's an atheist and she ran off and then he followed her and grabbed her by the net and was like, say yes, sir, it's her and her face. And then we had to go to court for that and I was a witness. How old was she? Like around 12. I was in third grade. She was a child when this happened. And what was the outcome? They stopped coming over. I don't know what if he was charged with anything, but I just know that Jesse and Jake stop coming over after that. These are his two kids? Yes, out of three. He has a third one too. And does he have a relationship with those kids now?

27:17He does with one of them, but Jesse, he does not talk to. Since that incident? Basically, yeah. How old is she now? 30 something. So it's been an estranged relationship with his own kids all these years? Yeah. Does he speak with the other two kids? He speaks with Jacob over face time sometimes and then Rosie. Yes, he talks to Rosie. And is it Rosie who is in the Bahamas now? She wants to go to the Bahamas, yes. She's in Rome. And have you been speaking with those siblings about what's happened? I've talked to Rosie, yeah. What does Rosie think? She doesn't want to believe that her own dad would do that, which I understand. It's pretty hard for me too to even wrap my head around this, but she just was going to go down there to support him to help look. But I even mentioned like, I don't know if that's a good idea right now

28:18to get into this mess. Do his kids have any suspicions about what happened though? I haven't talked to Jacob, but there is some speculation right now as to what actually happened. What do they think? That's he didn't do the best he can to look for her. Do they think that Brian intentionally pushed Lynette overboard? They have a suspicion that something could have happened, but they don't want to say like, for sure, because that's their dad. Yeah. What do you think happened? I think either she did actually fall off and he just was like, well, look at all that life insurance and just paddled away.

29:20Or he pushed her out and she was unconscious or something. I don't know. You mentioned life insurance. Do you have any idea what the policy or if they have life insurance policy? I have no idea, but I'm assuming she does from her retirement. Do you think that Brian had any intention of leaving your mom? Had they talked about separation or had they been having marital difficulties? They've talked about separating before and the last time they were together, he did choker out and threatened to kill her and throw her overboard. So the fact that this is happening two years later is a little bit. Like, how can we not be suspicious when you've already said that this was going to happen? Did your mom confide in her mom, your grandmother, specific incidents, anything that had happened between her and Brian?

30:22Yeah. She mostly confided in my grandma. And do you know what she told your grandma? There's that they've been fighting more often lately, especially when they've been drinking and that it's embarrassing for other people to see. She has mentioned that it's not safe to be with him. She told your grandmother it's not safe to be with Brian? I don't remember where I read that, but she has said that to one of her friends at least. And what can you expand on that? What did she mean by it's not safe? I'm guessing just when he starts drinking, he gets a little bit more, he gets different and she did complain about him how he acts when he drinks. He just gets more like smart as he and feisty her, I guess. So, yeah. Did she ever tell your grandmother or any of her friends specific things that had happened?

31:27And just about, I think that she's told them more than what she's told me, but I do know that there's like a picture of bruises all over her back from one of her friends, and she told, she mostly tells my grandma all of that stuff. Do you have that picture of your mom with bruises? No, I don't. Who has that picture? One of her friends in Jackson. And is that something that you're going to forward to the Royal Bahamian police as part of their investigation? I believe they did, yeah, to the Coast Guard. Did your mom say that the bruises were from Brian? Yeah, I'm sure. But do you know for sure? I don't know, 100% no. But her friend, your mom's friend told you that the picture exists? She told my grandma what's told me. Right, right. Has anyone in your family ever suggested to your mom that she leave Brian?

32:29Yes, multiple times. Every time she leaves them, we don't want her to go back, but she always goes back. How many times has she left him? I know for sure of two times, one when I was in high school and one, two years ago, but I'm sure there's been more times. What are the circumstances of her leaving him? Like, what precipitated it, do you know? Just when he choked her out, that's what made her leave last time. So the final time was when he allegedly choked out your mom. What about the time before that? That was in high school. She didn't tell me why she just was in my room crying when she told me. And what did she say? Just that they're gonna get her divorce. She had talked about divorce beforehand? Did she say what his reaction was?

33:32No, I just know that he was crying downstairs because I heard him crying. Brian was crying in the house after your mom told him she was leaving. Was he angry? Not that I know of. Were there any other times other than these two times that you know of that your mom may have tried to leave Brian? No, not for certain. And they were retired, right? And so did they have plenty of money? Were there any financial struggles or issues between your mom and Brian? Did Brian have any debts? Was there anything that you can think of that would give some motive? I'm not that I know of. I do think she has life insurance out from being retired from AT&T. I know he doesn't have any retirement from AT&T, so I don't know how good he's sitting. But I do know that last time they broke up, my mom told me that

34:33she's better when they're together financially, but when they're apart she's gonna have to work. If they broke up and she was gonna try to work at the post office. She'd actually talked about having to get a job at the post office to live separately from him. When was that? Two years ago. And so do you feel that your mom was financially pressured to stay with Brian against her will? Probably not. But she mentioned to you that she's financially stronger when she's with him, and if she's not with him she would have to get a job and come out of retirement. Was there retirement to be on the boat and sail around the world or were they just on a visit to the boat? Their plan was to stay on the boat and travel around. So they were living on on the soulmate yacht? Yeah. A 55-foot yacht? Something around there, yeah. Did they sell their belongings back at home?

35:34Yep. So that was their home. I mean there was nowhere for your mom to go. If she wanted to get off the yacht, she didn't have another home to go to. Exactly. Did she ever tell your mom that it was a mistake that she wished she hadn't gotten on the yacht? Probably. But didn't mention anything to you? I do have texts saying that she sold everything to be living this dream and now she's has to leave it or something like that. She sent text messages to my friend or one of her work friends about it. So tell me a little bit more about those texts. She... Thank you. Right here. Nothing but fighting since we bought the boat. Then he started turning to insult so I packed my stuff and left. I'm in Florida visiting the parents. This was in 2022.

36:40Yeah, that's basically... Are there any other texts like that? Well, she said it's something I probably should have done 15 years ago was to leave him. Yeah. That's basically it. Who are these texts to? Her name's Corey. Is that a friend? She used to be a friend, yeah, a work friend. I don't know if they're still close but I know they were at one time. And these were texts that Corey sent you? Yeah. In light of everything that's happened. Were there any other texts that they sent? Her friends? Or your mom? Or your grandmother? Did your grandmother have any text messages from your mom?

37:42Probably, but I don't have them. And are you in regular communication with your grandmother about everything that's happened? I've talked to her every day since. If you had a message for Brian, if he was watching this, what would you want to say to him? I'm sorry this is happening. I really hope that it was an accident. I hope you understand that I just want to know the truth of what happened because a missing person is a big deal, especially since it's my mom. I just hope this was an accident and everything will be okay, I guess. Do you think that he killed your mom? It's not a possibility, but yeah, probably intentionally. I don't know if it was intentional or his anger got the best of him,

38:43but I feel like there is a possibility that something could have happened. I just want to ask Lindsay who's on the other end right now. If there's anything that I've missed, if there's anything I should ask you that I haven't asked you. Yeah, look, yeah, do they have a group of friends that were in the Bahamas or were they just by themselves? Were there anybody around that they spent time with? Not that I know of. I do know they have some boat friends, but I don't know where they're located. So not necessarily in the Bahamas? Yeah, right, right. And Carly, is there anything that I haven't asked you or something that I don't know or that nobody knows at this point, but that you'd like to say? Not already now, no. And anything in the history between your mom and Brian that I haven't

39:44asked you about, you haven't mentioned yet something that comes to mind that is important to this whole situation. Just any support for my family right now would be greatly appreciated. Did you ever fear that Brian would do something like this to your mom? I feared that he would hurt her in some way, but I never would have thought that this would happen. You thought the worst it would be was maybe more bruises, but not something this serious? Yeah. And given the history and the text messages, the pictures, the concerns that your mom even had about staying with him, do you now think in retrospect it's possible something did happen that maybe he did do something terribly, terribly bad to your mom? I have a feeling, yeah. Well, Carly, I'm thinking of you and I'm hoping the best for you and your

40:45family. And please know that we're praying for your mom and for you and for the rest of your family as well. Thank you for talking to us today. And I hope we can continue the conversation. Yeah, no problem. Thank you. So that's where it stands. Again, at roughly noon on Thursday, April 9th, but I'm going to be following this. And I have a lot of questions for the restaurant that they may have been in the last place where Lynette was seen, the condition that Lynette and Brian may have been in any witnesses. I know there's been a call from the Royal Bahamian police force for any witnesses who may have seen anything to come forward. And I just hope the right kinds of questions are being asked all around that mooring site as well as wherever at El Boque, the hookers may have spent those final hours before 730 at night setting off in that rubber dinghy, that tender to head back to the soulmate yacht, which was supposed to be where they were living their
