Lynette Hooker, a 55-year-old Michigan resident, has been missing in the Bahamas since April, with the case under investigation as a possible murder of a U.S. national. U.S. Coast Guard divers from the cutter Margaret Norvell arrived in Marsh Harbour this week to search previously unsearched areas using GPS data, following Bahamian government permission. No charges have been filed.
