Lynette Hooker's Apple Watch Was on Her Wrist, Then Found on the Yacht? | Missing in Bahamas

An exclusive photo shows Lynette wearing her powder pink Apple Watch on her wrist shortly before her disappearance. However, the Royal Bahamian Police recovered this same watch from 'Soulmate,' the couple's sailboat. This directly contradicts Brian Hooker's account that Lynette went overboard from the dinghy on the way to the sailboat and never made it back.

Host Ashleigh Banfield presents an exclusive photo of Lynette wearing the watch and states police found it on the yacht. Brian claimed Lynette never made it to the yacht.

When pressed by fire and rescue volunteers, Brian Hooker only stated Lynette was wearing a 'two-piece black bathing suit.' This omission of distinct items like a bright blue headscarf, a green cover-up, and a black fanny pack (all visible in a recent selfie Lynette took) is considered highly suspicious by the host and Lynette's friends.

Rescuers confirmed Brian's limited description. A selfie taken by Lynette less than two hours before her disappearance clearly shows her wearing a bright blue headscarf, a green cover-up, and a black fanny pack.

Brian Hooker claimed there were 2-4 foot seas and howling winds on the night Lynette disappeared. However, video evidence, marine patterns, and multiple witnesses (including a woman who was dinghy-ing in the same area) confirm that the conditions on the Lee side of Elbow Key were calm, suitable for snorkeling, and not conducive to the 'holy hell' scenario Brian described.

Host refers to video evidence, marine patterns, and direct testimony from witnesses who were in dinghies in the exact location at the exact time.

Brian claimed to have lost a paddle from the dinghy. This paddle was later found washed up on Lobers's Quarters, south of Elbow Key. However, Brian claims he drifted north to Marsh Harbor, four miles away. Given the prevailing southwest wind, a high-profile object like a dinghy should have been blown towards Lobers's Quarters, similar to the paddle, not Marsh Harbor.

Neighbors found a paddle on Lobers's Quarters and gave it to police. Wind patterns between 7-10 PM showed a strong southwest direction. Brian's dinghy and floaty ended up on Marsh Harbor, while the paddle ended up on Lobers's Quarters.

Brian Hooker wore a specialized, technical marine watch, likely capable of tracking Navionics data and precise location. Despite its potential as crucial digital evidence, the Royal Bahamian Police did not seize this watch. Brian was photographed holding it after his release, suggesting it was returned to him.

Carly (Lynette's daughter) and others confirmed Brian never took the watch off. Photos show Brian with a tan line where the watch was, and later holding the watch after his release from detention.
