0:00On April 9th, Bahamas police arrested 58-year-old Brian Hooker, husband of Missing American Lynette Hooker, late Wednesday in Abaco. The 55-year-old from Michigan vanished Saturday night on an 8-foot dinghy ride from Hope Town to Elbokai. He's under questioning, but no charges yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard launched a criminal investigation. Brian told authorities Lynette fell overboard with the bullkeys during high winds and rough seas, killing the engine. He last saw her swimming toward shore before currents pulled them apart. Search team shifted from rescue to recovery Tuesday. Her daughter, Carly Einsworth, raised red flags, saying Brian waited over 24 hours to notify her. She wants a full probe, citing past family issues and her mom's decade plus as a skilled sailor and swimmer. Carly can't fathom how it happened. Sources close to the family question, why experienced boaters like them hit the water in bad conditions around 7.30pm. The U.S. State Department is assisting Bahamian officials on this.

1:02Investigators keep digging as the search drags on amid Bahamas level 2, travel advisory for crime and boating dangers. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding case.
