Husband arrested after American's disappearance in Bahamas, days after he said she fell overboard

Early Thursday the man arrested was named as Brian Hooker, 59, in a statement from his Bahamas-based attorney, Terrel A. Butler. The statement said Hooker denies any wrongdoing and rejected claims made by Lynette Hooker’s daughter, Karli Aylesworth, that it seemed unlikely that her mother would "just fall" overboard.

Her husband, 58-year-old Brian Hooker, subsequently paddled the boat to a marina, arriving at around 4 a.m.
