华盛顿 — 联邦调查人员目前正在寻求公众帮助，辨认一艘帆船的船主，该船可能在琳内特·胡克在巴哈马失踪当晚就停泊在她的船只旁边。这是针对这名密歇根州失踪女子的调查出现的新进展。
美国海岸警卫队调查局（该部门的刑事调查分支）正在搜寻更多关于2026年4月4日晚胡克在埃尔博凯和霍普敦附近的帕特阿姨湾附近失踪的相关信息。

据接近调查的消息人士透露，海岸警卫队调查局已启动搜索，寻找4月初某日在帕特阿姨湾停泊在帆船“灵魂伴侣号”附近的一艘帆船的船主。琳内特·胡克和丈夫布莱恩·胡克失踪前一直乘坐“灵魂伴侣号”航行。
“该帆船的船主/乘员可能持有与海岸警卫队调查局调查相关的线索，”哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取到的一份海岸警卫队备忘录写道。

布莱恩·胡克拍摄的导航软件Navionics截图被哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取，据称该截图显示了在妻子琳内特失踪当晚，他乘坐的充气艇的航行路线。
联邦调查人员目前的调查范围已超出此前公开的充气艇路线，正在寻找可能在琳内特被报失踪前后时段出现在“灵魂伴侣号”附近的潜在目击者。
现年55岁的胡克在丈夫所称的一次夜间乘8英尺充气艇出行时落水失踪。布莱恩·胡克告诉当局，琳内特落水时带走了船钥匙，导致发动机熄火，他独自划了数小时才抵达岸边。他随后被巴哈马当局拘留，后未经指控获释。胡克否认存在任何不当行为。
海岸警卫队此次新的调查呼吁聚焦于4月4日当天这对夫妇的帆船曾锚泊过的帕特阿姨湾。调查人员目前呼吁任何知晓该配图帆船船主或乘员身份的人士，或任何拥有琳内特·胡克失踪相关线索的人士，通过苹果应用商店和谷歌应用商店均可下载的“海岸警卫队调查局举报应用”提交线索。据海岸警卫队称，举报可匿名提交。
海岸警卫队调查局探员为宣誓就职的联邦执法人员，负责调查违反《统一军事司法法典》和美国法律的行为，并与司法部密切合作。该部门的既定使命是通过独立调查，在全球范围内支持和保护海岸警卫队人员、行动、声誉及资产。
失踪一个月后，琳内特·胡克仍下落不明，目前尚未有针对其失踪案的相关指控被提起。
In Lynette Hooker probe, Coast Guard seeks information about mystery sailboat
2026-05-05 15:25 EDT / CBS News
Washington — Federal investigators are now seeking the public’s help in identifying the owners of a sailboat that may have been moored next to Lynette Hooker’s vessel the night she disappeared in the Bahamas, marking a new development in the search for the missing Michigan woman.
The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service, the criminal investigative arm of the service branch, is searching for additional information about Hooker’s disappearance near Aunt Pat’s Bay, near Elbow Cay and Hope Town, on the night of April 4, 2026.

According to sources close to the investigation, CGIS has launched a search to locate the owner of a sailboat that was moored near the sailing vessel Soulmate in Aunt Pat’s Bay that day in early April. Lynette Hooker and her husband, Brian Hooker, had been traveling aboard Soulmate before she vanished.
“The owners/occupants of the sailing vessel may have information relevant to the CGIS investigation,” a Coast Guard memo obtained by CBS News states.

Screenshot taken by Brian Hooker of Navionics and obtained by CBS News, purportedly shows route his dinghy took the night his wife Lynette disappeared.
Federal investigators have been looking beyond the dinghy route described in earlier accounts and are now seeking potential witnesses who may have been near Soulmate before or around the time Lynette was reported missing.
Hooker, 55, disappeared after what her husband has described as a drop from an 8-foot dinghy during a nighttime ride in the Abacos. Brian Hooker told authorities Lynette fell overboard with the boat keys, causing the engine to shut off and leaving him to paddle for hours before reaching shore. He was later detained by Bahamian authorities and released without charges. Hooker has denied any wrongdoing.
The new Coast Guard investigative appeal centers on Aunt Pat’s Bay, where the couple’s sailboat had been anchored earlier in the day, on April 4. Investigators are now asking anyone who knows the identity of the pictured sailboat’s owner or occupants — or anyone with information about Lynette Hooker’s disappearance — to submit tips through the CGIS Tips app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. According to the Coast Guard, tips may be submitted anonymously.
CGIS agents are sworn federal law enforcement officers who investigate violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and U.S. law, working closely with the Department of Justice. The service’s stated mission is to support and protect Coast Guard personnel, operations, integrity and assets worldwide through independent investigations.
A month after her disappearance, Lynette Hooker remains missing, with no charges filed in connection to her disappearance.
