ones who get it done hey everyone i'm ashley banfield and this is drop dead serious and it is mother's day i didn't expect to be working today on mother's day but i am actually very happy to be working today mother's day and i would like to dedicate this episode to darlene hamlet and carly aylesworth on mother's day because we've got big news for you and big news for them darlene will not be getting a call from her daughter lynette hooker to wish her a happy mother's day because lynette is missing and presumed dead in the bahamas and carly will not be able to call her mom lynette hooker and wish her a happy mother's day for the same reason but i will wish them a happy mother's day and this gift comes courtesy of the united states coast guard and the united states coast guard investigative services who grabbed brian hooker's forty six foot sloop in international waters hooked that thing up and towed it into america this morning it is now evidence in a criminal investigation and that is very bad news for one brian hooker who says that his wife lynette just bounced off the back of that dinghy on our way out to the boat soulmate and then he proceeded to bounce right out of the bahamas instead of staying to help look for her but now soulmate is in the custody of the united states authorities and you know they are going to comb that thing for every piece of forensic evidence and digital evidence and electronic evidence and anything else on board because they are building a case they opened a criminal investigation and they are building their case and these guys are good they are great i am so happy to be able to show you these pictures and show you that they hooked that thing up and brought her in didn't matter that brian hired a couple of delivery captains to you know bring him his boat out of the bahamas washing his hands at the bahamas so now not worried about lynette being there or the boat being there his asset he thought was coming right back to him in the united states but it's not happy mother's day to you darlene and carly so here's what i can tell you i haven't had a lot of sleep because this has been a forty eight hour journey we had some amazing spies and incredible helpers who allowed us to track this boat all the way from its mooring ball in marsh harbor to the fort pierce coast guard station in florida where it is currently tied up and will be absolutely reamed for every ounce of forensic evidence that it will offer and i believe it's going to offer a lot so here's what happened on may sixth soulmate moved off of the mooring ball that it had been on for weeks and weeks since brian just you know picked up and bolted from the bahamas while everybody else was looking for lynette because he said she was lost at sea don't know how it happened former marine may sixth suddenly the conch inn mooring ball where brian hooker was paying for the rental of being able to hook onto that mooring ball and let soulmate float in the middle of marsh harbor it moved from that mooring ball to another mooring ball closer to the concin and closer to the docks and i was wondering at the time now what's going on i didn't know if maybe it was a less desirable mooring ball and since no one's on the boat and other customers might want the more desired maybe that's why i wondered if maybe it was getting ready for a sale maybe they wanted it closer to shore maybe they wanted to just keep eyes on it because it was such a specimen it's become such a story soulmate i believe a crime scene i believe a crime scene just speculating here but as it turned out i may have been right on some points but definitely the real purpose was to bring some soulmate into the dock because on may eighth wendy thank you wendy for being so amazing to us and helping us to get this piece of the story wendy had her sailboat in the slip next to soulmate as soulmate was being provisioned by the delivery captain and the first mate a delivery captain is a normal kind of job all right like oftentimes they will do these crossings for people they'll sail their boat or motor their boat across from the bahamas to florida or anywhere else in the world and they will deliver these boats for people it's not cheap it's many thousands of dollars but you don't have to sail it yourself or you know do twenty four hours at the helm which is not fun so delivery captain and mate were hired by presumably brian or somebody connected to brian he's got a sister who helped him out when she was in the bahamas like to know more about her and they provision the boat with food and fuel and water and they get it ready for you know what's normally around a twenty four hour crossing again thank you wendy because wendy also ended up kind of sailing alongside cause she was doing a crossing too in her sailboat but she noticed that they were really booking it six point four knots and we could see that too because they had their ais on which is this marine tracking system where you can see boats all over the place and their movements and their owners and all the rest of the and then boom all of a sudden ais went off right out of marsh harbor boop out it went which was weird but this is brian hooker after all right master of masking his location and maybe masking the location of his things the only thing is and we didn't say this because we didn't want brian to know this we were still following him because there's another app out there called no foreign land and it's run by some very very kind sailors who live aboard and like like to have a sailing community it's sort of a crowdsourced community where you can all sort of check in with each other and the no foreign land was still on and it was on for quite some time so we were able to follow soulmate on its journey until about halfway across that went out too which i thought was weird but okay that didn't mean we weren't following because i mean dog with a bone you know me i have not let this go and i am not letting it go in any case here's where things got hinky the boat looked like it was kind of headed towards fort lauderdale and then started to vector overnight sort of northward and i wondered okay wouldn't be weird to get into the gulf stream and have a little bit of a help along the way you know a little bit of a push lots of people do that and then it was a late night this was by the way this was friday night so this was may eighth i'm doing this on may tenth yeah it's been a long two days
