哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获悉,布莱恩·胡克与莉内特·胡克在巴哈马环游时乘坐的帆船——也就是莉内特失踪前使用的船只——搭载了一台能够探测热辐射的红外相机。

这台由科技公司FLIR制造的船上相机还可搭配云存储系统运行,可能会成为莉内特·胡克失踪案搜寻工作中的关键证据。她的丈夫于4月5日向当地警方报案称,妻子在夜间乘坐充气艇时落水失踪。

据了解此案的消息人士透露,这台相机此前随他们的“灵魂伴侣号”帆船在本月早些时候被美国海岸警卫队扣押。

消息人士称,目前尚不清楚布莱恩·胡克是否使用过这台相机,但它已被纳入正在进行的调查程序中。

这类相机常被船民用作安全系统,帮助航行,尤其在夜间。红外系统可用于探测人员落水情况,或在完全黑暗的海面避免碰撞事故。

福克斯新闻率先报道了这台相机的存在。

这对夫妇的朋友丹尼尔·丹福思告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,2023年3月他们一行人在新奥尔良停泊期间,布莱恩·胡克曾展示过这台设备。

美国海岸警卫队调查部门正在对莉内特·胡克的失踪案展开调查。

布莱恩·胡克否认存在任何不当行为,目前未被指控任何罪名。他曾在巴哈马被拘留问话,但最终获释并返回美国。

CBS News has learned the sailboat used by Brian and Lynette Hooker in their travels around the Bahamas, before her disappearance, had an infrared camera capable of detecting heat radiation.

The camera aboard their boat, made by technology company FLIR, can also operate with a cloud memory system, which could hold key evidence in the search for Lynette Hooker. Her husband reported to local authorities on April 5 that she fell overboard during a nighttime dinghy ride.

The camera was aboard their sailboat, the “Soulmate,” when it was seized by the U.S. Coast Guard earlier this month, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

While it is not known if Brian Hooker used the camera, it is currently being processed as part of the ongoing probe, according to sources.

This type of camera is often used by boaters as a safety system to be able to navigate, particularly at night. The infrared system can be useful to detect if someone falls overboard or to avoid collisions at sea in total darkness.

Fox News as the first to report the existence of the camera.

Daniel Danforth, a friend of the couple, told CBS News that Brian Hooker showed off the device while they were all docked in New Orleans back in March 2023.

The Coast Guard Investigative Services is conducting a probe into Lynette Hooker’s disappearance.

Brian Hooker has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime. He was held for questioning in the Bahamas but ultimately released and returned to the U.S.
