A man whose wife went missing on a boat trip congratulated a pal on a sailboat purchase and scrolled Facebook after her disappearance. Brian Hooker claims his wife, Lynette Hooker, went overboard during a trip in the Bahamas on Sunday. He was arrested by local police, but categorically denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime. Facebook activity in the wake of Lynette’s disappearance showed Brian talking about the incident. He spoke to his sailing friend, Daniel Danforth, and praised his recent boat purchase. “You know, my wife’s missing, Facebook’s the last thing I’m worried about. You’re going to find me on the water riding around,” Danforth told CBS News, referring to Hooker liking irrelevant posts on the social media site. Danforth also compared Hooker’s version of events with emerging media reports, noting that “the stories don’t really match up.” “The wind blew me away from her and she swam towards the sailboat and we lost sight of each other pretty quickly as it was just about sundown,” Brian wrote in messages to Danforth. “I drifted and tried to paddle with one oar for the next 7 hours until I washed up behind the shore of the next Island over and was able to get some help finally.” Hooker told police that his wife was swept overboard and out to sea.
