Hope Town Fire and Rescue would not comment about the images, citing the ongoing investigation. The Royal Bahamas Police Force did not immediately respond to CBS News’ request for comment.

According to the screenshots, Brian Hooker traveled 4 miles west on his dinghy from the point where Lynette Hooker is alleged to have gone overboard.

His wife is alleged to have gone overboard around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 4. According to Brian Hooker’s account to investigators, he washed up on shore at 4 a.m. the next morning at the Marsh Harbour Boat Yard. 

Bahamian officials arrested Brian Hooker on Wednesday, April 8, and held him for questioning, but he was released Monday night. He has not been charged with a crime, according to his attorney, Terrel Butler.
