Brian Hooker released from custody in Bahamas after wife’s disappearance

April 13, 2026 8:58 PM EDT / CBS News

Brian Hooker, whose wife Lynette disappeared during a nighttime boat ride in the Bahamas earlier this month, was released from custody Monday night, five days after being detained.

Brian Hooker, 59, was arrested by Bahamian authorities last Wednesday for questioning about his wife’s disappearance, his attorney, Terrel Butler, told CBS News. Hooker has denied any wrongdoing. He declined to answer questions from CBS News when a reporter approached him the day before his detention.

Lynette Hooker, 55, has not been found. The Royal Bahamas Police Force said last week that search and rescue operations had turned into search and recovery.

A search warrant for Hooker’s boat allowed authorities to take “a digital video recorder, digital tablets, and cell phone related equipment” and accessories. The devices may be “material evidence and or contains material evidence related to a missing person causing bodily harm,” according to the warrant, which was reviewed by CBS News.

Brian Hooker said his wife was swept away

The couple, from Michigan, were known to be avid sailors. Brian Hooker told authorities that Lynette fell from their eight-foot dinghy the evening of Saturday, April 4, while they sailed from Hope Town to Elbow Cay. He said powerful currents swept her away, along with the keys to their boat, which cut power to its engine and prevented him from reaching her.

Police said Hooker paddled to the island of Abacoa, where he docked at the Marsh Harbor Boat Yard around 4 a.m. Sunday, April 5. Police said he told someone that his wife was missing, and that person then informed authorities.

Hooker also shared his account of what happened with several friends and even annotated maps of the area. His friend Daniel Danforth spoke to CBS News and shared text messages he had received from Hooker after Lynette’s disappearance. In the messages, Hooker said that the wind blew him and Lynette apart. He said she swam towards the sailboat but the two “lost sight of each other pretty quickly.”

Hooker told Danforth he “drifted and tried to paddle with one oar for the next 7 hours until I washed up behind the shore of the next Island over and was able to get some help finally.”

Lynette Hooker’s daughter seeks “full and complete investigation”

Karli Aylesworth, Lynette Hooker’s daughter, has called for “an intensive review of the facts and circumstances” around her mother’s case. Aylesworth told CBS News that Brian and Lynette Hooker had split up and gotten back together in recent years.

Messages that Lynette sent to a friend in January 2024, obtained exclusively by CBS News, suggest she had concerns about Brian and their life at sea at the time of the couple’s separation, but they later reconciled.

“My sole concern is to find out what happened to my mother and make sure a full and complete investigation is performed into her disappearance,” Aylesworth told CBS News.

Aylesworth described her mother as an experienced swimmer with more than a decade of sailing experience, and said she doesn’t believe the sequence of events described by her stepfather, Brian Hooker.

Butler said Hooker denies the allegations made by Aylesworth.

“Brian appears completely heartbroken and deeply distressed,” Butler said in a statement. “His primary concern and source of intense frustration is his inability to continue the search for his wife of 25 years. The trauma of her disappearance, coupled with his current detention as a suspect, has left him in an extremely fragile state.”

Butler also told CBS News that Hooker went back out on the boat with police investigators as they continued the search for his wife last Wednesday. She said he was handcuffed aboard the vessel, which led to him falling overboard in rough seas while disembarking. Hooker was rescued by officers, Butler said in a written report, and sustained a “visible abrasion” and a knee injury that caused him to limp. A CBS News team saw Hooker being taken to a local hospital to get checked out.

美国总统特朗普星期一（4月13日）删除了一张疑似将他描绘成耶稣的图片。

综合法新社和彭博社报道，特朗普12日晚在自家社媒平台Truth Social贴出这张人工智能（AI）生成图片，引发宗教领袖的强烈抗议，指责他亵渎上帝，特朗普的支持者也批评他的做法。

特朗普13日到椭圆形办公室外领他叫的麦当劳外卖时，向记者承认，那张引发争议的图片是他贴的。

特朗普称，他以为图片显示自己是一个医治病人的大夫，但没有解释为何后来删掉图片。

特朗普说：“那确实是我贴的图片，我以为是大夫装扮，与红十字会有关。”他说：“图片要传达的是我像医生在救人，我确实让人们过得更好。”

本身是天主教徒的美国副总统万斯13日晚接受福克斯新闻采访时，为特朗普贴的图片辩护。

万斯说：“总统只是在开个玩笑”，称特朗普后来删除图片“是因为他意识到很多人不理解他的幽默”。

美国封锁霍尔木兹后首次 三艘船通过海峡一艘与香港有关

2026年4月14日 10:42 / 联合早报

三艘船成功穿越霍尔木兹海峡，是美国总统特朗普星期天（4月12日）下令海军即日起封锁该海峡以来、首批尝试通过的船只。在沿着伊朗海岸附近航行后，这三艘船现已驶入开放水域。

与此同时，封锁似乎正对其他船只产生威慑作用，至少有两艘船已放弃原定航程。

据彭博社星期二（14日）报道，船舶追踪数据显示，星期一（13日）清晨，与伊朗没有明显关联的“New Future”号以及被美国制裁的“Aurora”号，从阿联酋附近水域开始向东北方向航行。

这两艘成功通过的中型油轮，应该是选择了靠近伊朗拉拉克岛（Larak）以南的航道行使。伊朗近日表示，试图向东通行的船只应沿该航线航行。

New Future号已通过霍尔木兹海峡的弯道，目前位于阿曼苏哈尔港附近海域。Aurora号则接近阿曼湾水道的出口。

与此同时，一艘悬挂越南国旗、由越南船东所有的液化石油气运输船，从相反方向接近霍尔木兹海峡，进入波斯湾。“NV Sunshine”号星期天晚些时候从阿曼湾苏哈尔附近海域开始向北航行，目前已进入海湾，信号显示其朝着阿联酋沙迦航行。

美伊周末谈判破裂后，美国开始对霍尔木兹海峡周边区域实施全面封锁。相关限制措施适用于所有进出伊朗港口或沿海水域的船只，于美国东部时间星期一上午10时生效。这些通行发生在封锁实施前数小时。

美国的海上封锁似乎在星期一晚些时候扰乱了商业航运。受到美国制裁的成品油油轮“Rich Starry”号在伊朗格什姆岛（Qeshm Island）附近向外航行途中似乎掉头返回。

与中国有关的散货船“Guan Yuan Fu Xing”号，则在水道另一侧向内航行途中突然掉头。

随着美伊双方争夺这一航运要道的控制权，船只通行情况正受到密切关注。近几周来，一些船只因与西方国家存在关联，已成为德黑兰的目标或遭到袭击。特朗普的最新举措旨在挑战伊朗对海峡的控制，并剥夺其能源收入。

New Future号装载了超过33万桶柴油，这些货物于4月初在阿联酋哈姆利亚港（Hamriyah）装载。该船在2月下旬战争爆发前不久进入海湾。

海事数据库Equasis显示，这艘悬挂马绍尔群岛旗的船舶，由Hong Kong Chuanglang Shipping所有并负责管理。彭博社致电该公司登记的电话未获接通，运营商表示该号码未交话费。该公司也暂未回应通过电邮提出的置评请求。

悬挂巴拿马国旗的Aurora号货轮发出信号，表明船上有印度籍船员。这种做法已成为船只穿越霍尔木兹海峡时的常用手段。该油轮因与伊朗石油贸易有关，去年12月被美国制裁。这艘油轮自12月以来就在波斯湾，彭博社目前尚无法核实装货地。

Aurora号登记的船东为孟买公司Aurora Shipowners Ltd.，与其船舶管理公司Golden Gate Ship Management的地址相同。两家公司均未提供联系方式。

越南最近表示在与伊朗当局沟通，以确保本国船只安全通行。Equasis数据显示，NV Sunshine由Nhat Viet Transportation Corp.所有并运营。这家位于胡志明市的公司尚未接电话，也未回复通过电邮寻求评论的请求。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队警告，若与美国和以色列的战争继续，革命卫队将启用“新的军事能力”。

新华社引述伊朗法尔斯通讯社星期一（4月13日）报道，伊朗革命卫队发言人说：“我们尚未动用全部能力。如果战争继续，我们将展示出敌人意想不到的能力。”

另据伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社报道，伊朗国防部发言人同日说，伊朗武装部队拥有足够的导弹、无人机及其他军事装备，足以继续实施进攻和防御。

美国总统特朗普12日下令美国海军对伊朗实施海上封锁。美国中央司令部发声明宣布，从13日格林尼治标准时间下午2时（新加坡时间13日晚上10时）起，封锁伊朗海湾港口。

Swalwell’s ‘best friend’ in Congress turns on him after bombshell allegations torpedo his political career

April 13, 2026 8:54pm EDT / Fox News

The Arizona Senator says he had ‘no knowledge’ of the allegations against his former close friend

One of Rep. Eric Swalwell’s, D-Calif., closest friends in Congress is putting distance between himself and the lawmaker, contending he had no idea about the bombshell accusations of sexual assault that have surfaced against the former gubernatorial candidate.

“I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell,” Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said in a statement.

“The women who have come forward have shown courage,” he continued. “They deserve to be believed, to be supported, and to see justice served.”

Gallego’s turn on Swalwell came just minutes before the lawmaker announced his resignation from Congress.

He already pulled his endorsement of Swalwell’s now-defunct bid for governor shortly after the bombshell San Francisco Chronicle report was published, and said the lawmaker was “no longer fit to be a member of Congress” and supported the push to expel him from the lower chamber.

It’s the culmination of a swift about-face for Gallego, who has signaled a desire for a 2028 presidential bid and was once described by Swalwell as his “best friend in the world.”

The pair have been friends since Gallego’s time in the House and both came under fire for photos that surfaced of the duo riding shirtless on camels in Qatar as part of a private trip in 2021. And just days ago, Gallego defended Swalwell online.

“When you are in first place, is when they target you,” Gallego said on X. “Eric is a fighter and he will win the Governors race.”

Now, Gallego said he doesn’t know his once close friend.

“I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew,” Gallego said.

Swalwell resigned from the House Monday night after ending his gubernatorial campaign in California, a move that was spurred by the San Francisco Chronicle’s report that detailed allegations of sexual assault against him.

He currently faces allegations of sexual assault and misconduct from a former staffer and three other women.

In the House, Swalwell faced pressure from his colleagues to resign. That comes as the House Ethics Committee launched a probe against him and a campaign to expel him, and others, from the chamber was gaining steam.

“I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong,” Swalwell said in a statement. “But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress.”

伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬表明，伊朗愿继续在国际法框架内与美方进行谈判，并将遵守停火条款，此前美方的“过度野心”阻碍了协议达成。

新华社报道，伊朗总统办公室星期天（4月13日）发布声明说，佩泽希齐扬当天与法国总统马克龙通话时说，伊方认为，外交是解决争端的首选途径，“基于威胁、施压和军事行动的手段不仅无法解决问题，反而会使问题更加复杂，并加剧美方一手造成的问题”。

谈及日前在巴基斯坦举行的伊美谈判，佩泽希齐扬说，伊方代表团为达成持久协议表现出了认真与诚意，尽管双方在技术专家层面取得了一定共识，但美方高级官员的“过度野心”和缺乏政治意愿阻碍了协议的最终达成。

针对美方封锁霍尔木兹海峡的威胁，佩泽希齐扬说，任何对这一战略要道安全的威胁都将对全球贸易产生广泛影响，伊朗为维护国家利益，已做好充分准备应对任何不利局面。

美国总统特朗普星期天（4月12日）下令海军即日起封锁霍尔木兹海峡，使美伊原本脆弱停火协议岌岌可危。特朗普星期一（13日）表示，中国国家主席习近平也希望看到冲突结束，并证实访华行程延期至下个月。

路透社报道，白宫表示，特朗普星期二（14日）也将参与一场与美国驻华大使谢锋举行的会晤。

据彭博社、《印度论坛报》等报道，特朗普星期一在白宫告诉记者，他尚未收到习近平关于美伊冲突的任何消息。但他补充说，习近平“也希望看到这场冲突结束”，并重申美国与中国保持着“非常好的关系”。

美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）上个星期五（10日）引述消息报道，美国情报显示，中国准备在未来几周内向伊朗交付新的空防系统。

在回答CNN关于美国情报部门提供的信息，以及是否可能与中国领导人沟通的问题时，特朗普澄清说，他没有就此事直接与习近平通话，但他警告说，如果北京向德黑兰提供军事支持，将会面临后果。

U.S. military kills 2 men in another alleged drug boat strike in eastern Pacific

April 13, 2026 / 10:26 PM EDT / CBS/AFP

The U.S. military said it killed two people in a strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday, bringing the death toll to at least 170 since strikes began last September.

U.S. Southern Command, which is responsible for Washington’s forces in the region, said in a post on X that “the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.”

“Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed,” the post said.

CBS News reached out to U.S. Southern Command for evidence of narco-terror operations by the vessel.

A spokesperson replied that they rely on “a rigorous process of intelligence gathering and analysis, which may include multi-source intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to confirm illicit activity” prior to any operation.

“In this instance, the vessel in question was identified through coordinated intelligence efforts as operating along established narco-trafficking routes and was assessed to be engaged in activities consistent with narco-trafficking operations,” the spokesperson said, adding, “For operational security reasons, we cannot discuss specific sources or methods.”

The latest strike comes two days after U.S. military strikes killed five people in two boats, also in the eastern Pacific. One person survived those strikes, U.S. Southern Command said.

In at least six instances, people have survived the strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats, spurring efforts to find and rescue them in most cases. Authorities have called off several of those searches, though in one October operation, two survivors were picked up by a Navy helicopter and repatriated to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia.

The military’s handling of survivors has drawn intense scrutiny. During the first boat strike on Sept. 2, two people survived an initial strike but were killed in a follow-on attack, prompting accusations the second strike may have constituted a war crime. Democratic lawmakers who watched a video of the Sept. 2 operation were highly critical of the strike. The Defense Department and several congressional Republicans have insisted the survivors may have still been in the fight, warranting the follow-on strike.

The Trump administration has been targeting alleged “narco-terrorists” operating in Latin America, labeling the alleged drug smugglers as “unlawful combatants,” and telling Congress the U.S. is embroiled in a “non-international armed conflict” with cartels.

But it has provided no definitive evidence that the vessels it targets are involved in drug trafficking, prompting heated debate about the legality of the operations.

International law experts and rights groups say the strikes likely amount to extrajudicial killings as they have apparently targeted civilians who do not pose an immediate threat to the United States.
