The lawyer representing the husband of missing American boater Lynette Hooker revealed what police grilled him about after hauling him into custody as a suspect — and when he may walk free.
Brian Hooker’s attorney, Terrel Butler, said police questioned the 59-year-old for over two hours Friday about the couple’s time in the Bahamas and the hours leading up to his wife suddenly falling overboard from a small dinghy near Hope Town Saturday night, Fox News Digital reported.
Hooker, who was arrested Wednesday night, was also grilled about shocking domestic violence allegations his stepdaughter, Karli Aylesworth, made after her 55-year-old mother mysteriously vanished.
He is being investigated for a possible charge of causing harm resulting in death, according to Butler.
Although the husband hasn’t been charged with a crime, Bahamian police have until 7:20 p.m. Friday to charge him, cut him loose, or push for more time behind bars.
“I’m expecting that we’ll go through the process of an interview and hopefully shortly thereafter they will make a decision to either release him or they will press charges,” Butler told the outlet.
