Husband of missing American in Bahamas ‘previously threatened to throw her overboard’ as her daughter shares chilling voice note
A missing American woman’s husband previously threatened to throw her overboard before her sudden disappearance in the Bahamas, her daughter has claimed.
Karli Aylesworth believes “something might have happened” involving her mom, Lynette Hooker, and her hubby, Brian, 58, while they were out at sea Saturday night, as she revealed she received a voice note from him amid the search.
“I do believe something might have happened to her,” she told Fox News.
“There’s history of him choking her out and threatening to throw her overboard. So the fact that this is actually happening makes me believe there’s more to the story.”
Bahamian authorities say Lynette, 55, was swept away by the currents after falling from the dinghy she was in with Brian while trying to reach their yacht, Soulmate.

A criminal investigation hasn’t been opened, and Brian hasn’t been charged with any crime.
He denied the accusations in a statement to the Daily Beast.
“I categorically deny the allegations made by Karli Aylesworth,” Brian said in the statement. “At this time, I have retained local counsel, Terrel Butler, and I am acting on her strict advice not to provide further comment to the press, as there is currently an ongoing investigation.”

Aylesworth also claimed that Brian’s persona would change after drinking alcohol.
“He starts to act more smart-a—y and more picking at you and like ‘I know this will irritate you so I’m gonna do that’” type of attitude,” she said.

She fell into the water with the dinghy’s keys — something which baffled Aylesworth, who said Brian always drove.
“Brian’s always driving. So he basically is in charge of the key. So the fact that my mom had it doesn’t make any sense,” she told CBS News.
She also revealed that her mom wouldn’t lose her balance on a boat, fueling even more suspicions.

Brian paddled to the Marsh Harbour Boat Yard, arriving at 4 a.m., before his wife was reported missing.
Aylesworth recalled a voice note that she received from her stepdad.
“Hello, honey, it’s Dad. I just got a call from Hope Town Search and Rescue, and they found the flotation device that I threw to Mom when she fell overboard,” he said.

Brian told officials he last saw his wife swim toward the shore, CNN reported.
The search for Lynette has turned into a recovery mission and Aylesworth fears the worst.
“The more time that goes on, the more I disbelieve that she will come back alive. I don’t think that you can tread water for that long,” she told CNN.
“But I hope maybe she’s on a little island somewhere.”
Lynette and Brian documented their adventures at sea on social media under the moniker The Sailing Hookers.
They said they had “sailed away from their BS” and were living their best life.
Hours before Lynette’s disappearance, they shared a photograph of a small boat in shallow water tied to a jetty.
“Not going anywhere for a while?!” the post was captioned.
