A seasoned boater and friend of Brian and Lynette Hooker said Brian’s account of his wife’s disappearance doesn't add up.Daniel Danforth told "Fox & Friends Weekend" that he and his wife became friends with the Hookers in 2023, bonding over their shared love of boating. After hearing news reports about Lynette’s disappearance in the Bahamas, Danforth reached out to Brian on Facebook and received a response he found concerning."I said, 'Hey, did I just see you on the news?' And then he gave me the account that’s in the text messages. And it didn't line up a lot," Danforth said Saturday.Lynette Hooker vanished during a boating trip earlier this month, according to authorities. Her husband said she fell overboard with their dinghy’s ignition key, and they were separated by turbulent waters as she swam back to their boat.COAST GUARD OPENS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO MISSING WOMAN LAST SEEN IN BAHAMAS"If you’re an actual boater, and people that boat every day know that the story don't really add up," Danforth said.Brian told authorities the current carried his wife away while he paddled their dinghy back to a marina hours later, saying the engine had cut off. Hooker’s lawyer says he denies any wrongdoing, and he is currently being held by Bahamian authorities.Danforth said he initially believed Lynette’s disappearance wasn’t dire based on his correspondence with Brian.

Butler, said there was a domestic violence incident in 2015 and that Lynette was arrested.Danforth confirmed the Hookers were "very experienced boaters" who knew what they were doing on the water.

That's usually just for going to land or back to your sailboat," he added.Hooker has not been charged with any crime related to his wife’s disappearance.
