Brian Hooker told authorities Lynette fell overboard with the boat keys, causing the engine to shut off and leaving him to paddle for hours before reaching shore. He was later detained by Bahamian authorities and released without charges. Hooker has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>The new Coast Guard investigative appeal centers on Aunt Pat&#8217;s Bay, where the couple&#8217;s sailboat had been anchored earlier in the day, on April 4. Investigators are now asking anyone who knows the identity of the pictured sailboat&#8217;s owner or occupants \u2014 or anyone with information about Lynette Hooker&#8217;s disappearance \u2014 to submit tips through the CGIS Tips app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. According to the Coast Guard, tips may be submitted anonymously.<\/p>\n<p>CGIS agents are sworn federal law enforcement officers who investigate violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and U.S. law, working closely with the Department of Justice. The service&#8217;s stated mission is to support and protect Coast Guard personnel, operations, integrity and assets worldwide through independent investigations.<\/p>\n<p>A month after her disappearance, Lynette Hooker remains missing, with no charges filed in connection to her disappearance.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
