巴哈马官员表示，他们已拘留一名59岁的美国公民，目前正对其就密歇根州妇女琳内特·胡克失踪案展开讯问。琳内特·胡克的丈夫称，妻子于周末从他们的船上落水失踪。
巴哈马皇家警察部队以警方政策为由，未公布该男子姓名。此次拘留发生之际，针对琳内特·胡克的搜救行动仍在巴哈马阿巴科群岛的埃尔博凯附近持续进行，巴哈马皇家国防军表示，该行动已转为搜救回收任务。
一名美国官员周三对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，美国海岸警卫队也已针对此案启动刑事调查。据该官员透露，海岸警卫队将与美国检察官办公室协调，主导调查工作。
海岸警卫队刑事调查科负责国际水域上悬挂美国国旗船只的相关犯罪案件。这名美国官员表示，调查仍处于初期阶段。
巴哈马皇家国防军周三表示，针对胡克的搜救行动已转为回收行动，但当地当局尚未请求美国海岸警卫队提供援助。
据巴哈马皇家警察部队消息，琳内特·胡克的丈夫布莱恩·胡克报案称，他和妻子均为美国公民，二人于周六晚间乘坐一艘8英尺长的硬底充气艇从埃尔博凯出海。
警方称，布莱恩·胡克告诉警方，妻子带着船钥匙落水，导致发动机熄火。他表示，强劲的洋流将她卷向深海，他就此失去了妻子的踪迹。布莱恩·胡克划着充气艇靠岸，于周日凌晨4点抵达马什港造船厂，警方称。
官员们表示，琳内特·胡克落水时身着黑色泳衣。
就在这起事件引发刑事调查的同时，琳内特·胡克的女儿卡莉·艾尔兹沃思正在寻求有关充气艇上所发生情况的答案。
在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时，艾尔兹沃思将母亲描述为一名经验丰富的游泳爱好者，已有10多年的帆船航行经验。她表示，希望当局对这起事件进行彻底调查，并称她不相信布莱恩·胡克所描述的事件经过。
“首先，我不明白她怎么会拿到钥匙，”艾尔兹沃思说，“布莱恩一直都是掌舵的人，所以钥匙基本由他保管。所以我妈妈拿着钥匙这件事完全说不通。”
艾尔兹沃思告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，布莱恩和琳内特·胡克近年来曾分手又复合。周二哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者联系布莱恩·胡克时，他拒绝就调查置评，但随后在社交媒体声明中谈到了妻子的失踪。
“我为最近这场在变幻莫测的海域和强风中发生的划船事故感到心碎，这场事故让我深爱的琳内特从我们位于巴哈马埃尔博凯附近的小充气艇上落水，”他周三说道，“尽管我们不顾一切尝试搜救她，但风和洋流将我们越冲越远。我们仍在继续寻找她，这是我目前唯一的重心。”

Bahamian officials say they have taken a 59-year-old U.S. citizen into custody and he is being questioned in connection with the disappearance of Lynette Hooker, the Michigan woman whose husband said fell off their boat over the weekend.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force is not releasing his name, citing the organization’s policy. The arrest comes as the search for Lynette Hooker continues near Elbow Cay in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas, which the Royal Bahamian Defense Force said has turned into a search and recovery operation.
The U.S. Coast Guard has also launched a criminal investigation into the case, a U.S. official told CBS News on Wednesday. The Coast Guard is taking the lead on the investigative efforts in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to the official.
The Coast Guard’s Criminal Investigative Service handles crimes on U.S.-flagged vessels in international waters. The investigation remains in its early stages, the U.S. official said.
The Royal Bahamian Defense Force on Wednesday said the rescue effort for Hooker has turned into a recovery operation, though the local authority has not requested the U.S. Coast Guard for assistance.
Lynette Hooker’s husband, Brian Hooker, reported that he and his wife, who are both U.S. nationals, set sail aboard an 8-foot hard-bottom dinghy from Elbow Cay on Saturday night, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
Brian Hooker told police that his wife fell overboard with the keys to the boat, causing its engine to turn off. He said that strong currents carried her out to sea, and he lost sight of her, according to police. Brian Hooker paddled the dinghy to shore, arriving hours later at the Marsh Harbor Boat Yard at 4 a.m. Sunday morning, police said.
Lynette Hooker was wearing a black bathing suit at the time, officials said.
The criminal investigation into the incident comes as Lynette Hooker’s daughter, Karli Aylesworth, seeks answers about what happened on the dinghy.
In an interview with CBS News, Aylesworth described her mother as an experienced swimmer who has been sailing for more than 10 years. She said she wants authorities to thoroughly investigate the incident, saying she doesn’t believe the sequence of events described by Brian Hooker.
“For one, I don’t understand how she got the key,” Aylesworth said. “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.”
Aylesworth told CBS News that Brian and Lynette Hooker had split up and gotten back together in recent years. Brian Hooker declined to answer questions about the investigation when approached by CBS News on Tuesday but has since addressed his wife’s disappearance in a social media statement.
“I am heartbroken over the recent boat accident in unpredictable seas and high winds that caused my beloved Lynette to fall from our small dinghy near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas,” he said Wednesday. “Despite desperate attempts to reach her, the winds and currents drove us further apart. We continue to search for her and that is my sole focus.”
