布莱恩·胡克在自己录制的通话录音、短信以及他绘制的地图中，详细叙述了一周多前妻子莉内特失踪当晚据称发生的情况。这些证据已被哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取并核实。
胡克此前曾告诉警方，他的妻子从他们的小船上跌落，被卷进了大海。他于周三晚间被捕。
代表胡克接受巴哈马皇家警察刑事调查的律师特雷尔·巴特勒始终表示，当事人否认存在任何不当行为，他对这起事件悲痛欲绝，并希望获得保释以便能够继续寻找妻子。
4月7日，搜救工作仍在进行期间，胡克与朋友马妮和布莱恩·史蒂文森进行了近40分钟的电话通话。他在通话中详细描述了导致妻子据称失踪的事件经过。胡克称，事发时他随身带着手机，但无法使用，因为该手机仅支持Wi-Fi通话。
胡克在通话中告诉史蒂文森夫妇，4月4日周六，布莱恩和莉内特将他们的帆船“灵魂伴侣号”停泊在埃尔博凯的帕特阿姨湾，随后他们乘坐充气小艇开启了当天的行程。
“这里有个叫塔希提海滩的地方，非常受欢迎，退潮时这片海滩会露出来，”胡克在电话中对史蒂文森夫妇说，“有一艘驳船会停泊在那里，全天提供酒水服务。”
塔希提海滩位于浅水区，地处埃尔博凯的最南端。
游玩塔希提海滩后，这对夫妇乘坐8英尺长的硬底充气小艇前往了位于霍普敦附近的阿巴科 Inn 餐厅。霍普敦是巴哈马阿巴科群岛上的一个小型海岛村落。
该餐厅的经理告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，阿巴科 Inn 正配合当局调查，暂无进一步评论。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获取的、显然由布莱恩·胡克绘制并分享给朋友和船友的地图，详细记录了他版本的事件经过。
他显然绘制的地图显示，事件发生在浅水区，涨潮时水深不足10英尺。
根据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻气象学家安德鲁·科扎克的说法，当时霍普敦的航行条件颇具挑战性：持续强风风速约为15至25节，阵风有时超过40英里/小时，还伴随零星阵雨。不过，浅水区受到的影响远小于公海。
胡克称，事发地点到马什港船厂的航程为4英里，他于4月5日周日凌晨4点在该船厂被发现。这距离他声称妻子从充气小艇上跌落的时间已经过去了8小时。
What Brian Hooker says happened the night his wife disappeared in the Bahamas

Brian Hooker, in recordings of phone calls, text messages, and maps that he made, obtained and confirmed by CBS News, recounted what allegedly happened the night his wife, Lynette, disappeared more than a week ago.
Hooker, who has previously told police his wife fell off their small boat and was swept out to sea, was arrested on Wednesday night.
Attorney Terrel Butler, who represents Hooker in a criminal investigation by the Bahamian Royal Police Force, has consistently said his client denies any wrongdoing, is heartbroken by the incident and wants to be released from custody so he could search for his wife.
During a nearly 40-minute phone conversation while search and rescue efforts were still ongoing on April 7, Hooker told friends Marnee and Blaine Stevenson in descriptive detail what led to the incident where his wife allegedly went missing. Hooker said he had a phone on him during the incident but it did not work because it was only able to make calls with Wi-Fi.

Hooker told the Stevensons that on Saturday April 4, Brian and Lynette anchored their sailboat “Soulmate” on Aunt Pat’s Bay in Elbow Cay from there they hopped on a dinghy to start their day.
“There’s a place called Tahiti Beach it’s really popular here and it’s a beach that dries out at low tide,” Hooker said to the Stevensons in a phone call. “A barge pulls up on it and serves drinks all day.”
Tahiti Beach is in shallow water and located on the southern tip of Elbow Cay.
Following Tahiti Beach, the couple used their 8-foot hard bottom dinghy to go to a restaurant at the Abaco Inn, located near Hope Town, a small island village located in Bahamas’ Abaco Islands.
A manager there told CBS News the Abaco Inn is cooperating with authorities and had no further comment.
Maps apparently made by Brian Hooker and shared with friends and boaters, obtained by CBS News, detail his version of events.

The maps he apparently created show that the incident happened in shallow water, under 10 feet at high tide.
Conditions in Hope Town at the time, according to CBS News meteorologist Andrew Kozak, were challenging for boating due to high sustained winds at around 15 – 25 knots with gusts sometimes exceeding 40 mph and a few showers. However, the impact in shallow waters would’ve been significantly less than on the open sea.
The vessel traveled four miles from the point where Hooker says the incident happened to the Marsh Harbour Boat Yards, where he was found at 4 a.m. the morning of Sunday, April 5. That is eight hours after he says his wife fell off the dinghy.
