Brian Hooker's Stepmother Expresses Willingness to Assist in Investigation of Missing Wife

Donna Hooker, the stepmother of Brian Hooker, expressed her belief that her stepson has not been truthful regarding the disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker. During a livestream on the podcast 'Surviving the Survivor,' she stated, 'Knowing what I know about Brian, he lied about everything.' Lynette Hooker, 55, was reported missing on April 4 after Brian claimed she fell from a dinghy while they were sailing in the Bahamas. Initially detained by Bahamian authorities, Brian was later released and returned to the U.S. in mid-April. Donna Hooker mentioned that she has not been contacted by investigators but is eager to provide any information that could assist in the ongoing investigation into Lynette's disappearance. She described Brian as intelligent and reserved, noting that communication with him has become increasingly difficult over the years. The investigation remains active, and Brian Hooker has not been charged with any crime.
