A new photo of Brian Hooker’s dinghy parked at the Abaco Inn has reignited scrutiny over his account of Lynette Hooker’s disappearance. Ashleigh Banfield reveals the dinghy was still tied up at 6:30 p.m.—well after Brian claimed he and Lynette had already left for their yacht, Soulmate. This contradicts his timeline and raises questions about his whereabouts. Witnesses at the Abaco Inn describe a chilling scene: Brian staring blankly out to sea while Lynette danced alone at the pool, taking selfies for nearly 30 minutes. One witness even claims Brian resembled a man who had harassed them at another bar four days earlier—adding a layer of possible motive or prior behavior. The mystery deepens with conflicting reports on the color of Brian’s dry bag: rescuers recall seeing an aqua or bluish-green bag, while others insist it was banana yellow. Banfield suggests Brian may have hidden a second dry bag inside the first, possibly to conceal evidence. The daughter, Carly Ailsworth, shares emotional testimony, confirming her mother’s history of abuse and expressing disbelief that Brian has not contacted her or her mother since Lynette vanished. She calls his silence ‘sketchy’ and demands justice. Banfield warns that Brian’s story is unraveling piece by piece, and urges viewers to check surveillance footage from the Abaco Inn area on April 4th, especially between 7–8 p.m., as a flare he claims to have fired may have been captured on camera.
