The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service has unveiled new footage from their ongoing efforts to locate missing American Lynette Hooker.
Last week, the agency spent four intensive days scouring the Bahamas in search of any leads. Upon returning to the U.S., they brought back the dinghy that Lynette and her husband, Brian, were using to navigate the Sea of Abaco when she went missing.
To enhance their search, the team utilized an array of specialized tools, including divers, remotely operated underwater vehicles, drones, and even a cadaver dog.

Lynette disappeared in April during a boating trip with her husband in the picturesque locale of Hope Town, Bahamas.
He claims she fell overboard into the Sea of Abaco, as the pair navigated rough seas on their dinghy. He resurfaced; Lynette vanished.

The dinghy CGIS was able to transfer over to U.S. custody from Bahamian authorities will undergo additional forensic examination.
Coast Guard Cutter Margaret Norvell, which is based in Miami, was used in the mission.
CGIS is leading the investigation, and the agency investigates a wide range of federal crimes, including fraud, cybercrime, drug trafficking and homicides.
Authorities will release more information as it becomes available.
