一位了解调查情况的消息人士周四向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网证实，美国海岸警卫队已获得巴哈马政府许可，可派遣潜水员搜查此前未被排查过的区域，以搜寻失踪的密歇根州女子莉内特·胡克。
该消息人士透露，此项许可已授予美国海岸警卫队调查局。
现年55岁的胡克于4月5日被报失踪，此前一天，她的丈夫布莱恩·胡克向当局表示，两人当晚乘小艇从巴哈马的埃尔博礁出海航行。
布莱恩·胡克向当地调查人员称，妻子从艇上跌落，随船钥匙一起被水流冲走，他只能独自划桨返回岸边。他最初因涉嫌妻子失踪案被逮捕，但后来获释并获准返回美国。他否认有任何不当行为，目前未面临刑事指控。
周二，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网获悉，新获取的GPS数据促使美国调查人员重新启动对莉内特·胡克的搜寻工作。该数据似乎与布莱恩·胡克关于妻子失踪当晚行踪的说法相矛盾。
消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网透露，本月早些时候，这对夫妇在巴哈马旅行所用的帆船“心灵伴侣号”在佛罗里达州以南约40海里处被海岸警卫队调查人员扣押。
本周哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网还了解到，“心灵伴侣号”上搭载了一台可探测热辐射的红外相机。调查人员正在调查莉内特·胡克失踪当晚，这台采用云存储系统的相机是否处于使用状态。
联邦调查人员还一直在确认一艘帆船的船主或乘员身份，据称莉内特·胡克失踪当晚，该船曾停泊在“心灵伴侣号”旁边的帕特阿姨湾。调查人员认为，该船相关人员可能掌握对案件至关重要的线索。
在莉内特·胡克失踪后一周接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网采访时，她的女儿卡莉·艾尔思沃思表示，父母近年来曾分居，但后来和解重归于好。她称不相信父亲关于母亲失踪当晚事件经过的描述。
“首先，我不明白她怎么会拿到钥匙，”艾尔思沃思说道，她指的是布莱恩·胡克向调查人员称莉内特·胡克连同船钥匙一起从船上跌落。“布莱恩一直都是开车的那个人，所以基本上钥匙都是他管的。所以说我妈妈拿到了钥匙，这完全说不通。”

The U.S. Coast Guard has been granted permission by the Bahamian government to send divers to canvass previously unsearched areas in the search for missing Michigan woman Lynette Hooker, a source briefed on the investigation confirmed to CBS News Thursday.
The permission was granted to the U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service, the source disclosed.
Hooker, 55, was reported missing on April 5, one day after her husband, Brian Hooker, told authorities that the couple had set sail for a nighttime ride aboard a dinghy from Elbow Cay in the Bahamas.
Brian Hooker told local investigators that his wife fell from the dinghy and was swept away in the current with the keys to the boat, forcing him to paddle back to shore. He was initially arrested in connection with her disappearance, but was later released and allowed to return to the U.S. He has denied wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged.
On Tuesday, CBS News learned that newly obtained GPS data had prompted U.S. investigators to relaunch the search for Lynette Hooker. The data appeared to contradict Brian Hooker’s account of where his wife was on the night she disappeared.
Earlier this month, the sailboat the couple was using to travel around the Bahamas, Soulmate, was seized by Coast Guard investigators about 40 nautical miles south of Florida, sources told CBS News.
CBS News also learned this week that aboard the Soulmate was an infrared camera capable of detecting heat radiation. Investigators are looking into whether the camera, which uses a cloud memory system, was in use on the night that Lynette Hooker disappeared.
Federal investigators have also been seeking to identify the owners or occupants of a sailboat that may have been moored next to the Soulmate in Aunt Pat’s Bay on the night that Lynette Hooker disappeared. Investigators believe they may have information critical to the case.
In an interview with CBS News conducted in the week after Lynette Hooker’s disapperance, her daughter, Karli Aylesworth, said her parents had separated in recent years, but reconciled and gotten back together. She told CBS News that she did not believe her father’s description of the sequence of events that transpired on the night of her mother’s disappearance.
“For one, I don’t understand how she got the key,” Aylesworth said, referring to Brian Hooker telling investigators that Lynette Hooker fell off the boat, along with the keys to the boat. “Brian’s always driving. So he basically is in charge of the key. So the fact that my mom had it doesn’t make any sense.”
