Cadaver dogs from the US Coast Guard have been brought in to help search for missing American Lynette Hooker — 11 days after she went missing in the Bahamas.
The K-9 team arrived in the Caribbean tourist hotspot on Wednesday morning, Royal Bahamas Police assistant commissioner Advardo Dames told ABC News.
Lynette, 55, has been missing since April 4, when her husband, Brian, claimed she fell overboard from the couple’s dinghy as they returned to their yacht late at night.
Brian Hooker, 59, was arrested on April 8 after coming in for questioning, but was released on Monday after a deadline to charge him passed.
