Missing US mom Lynette Hooker made ominous joke about her husband days before she vanished in Bahamas
Missing mom Lynette Hooker joked about “getting sick” of her husband in the final video shared on her YouTube channel — days before she vanished from the couple’s boat in the Bahamas.
Hooker, 55, shared the short clip on the YouTube channel she maintained with hubby Brian Hooker, 59, who has since been arrested in connection with his wife’s disappearance.
“Don’t you two ever get sick of each other?”
the overlay text in the meme-style video reads, above the words, “Me and my husband,” and a clip of two people dancing to the 1995 hit “Be My Lover” by German group La Bouche.

The couple, from Michigan, regularly shared updates from their seemingly idyllic life on their YouTube channel, amusingly titled “The Sailing Hookers.”
On Saturday, they were on the way to their yacht, the Soulmate, off the coast of the Bahamas when Brian said his wife fell into the water and was swept away by powerful currents.
The couple had embarked on a roughly 2.5-mile trip from Hope Town to Elbow Cay in an 8-foot hard-bottom dinghy and were returning to their yacht around 7:30 p.m.
Saturday when Brian said Lynette was thrown overboard.
Brian claimed his wife was carrying the boat key when she fell out, causing the engine to cut off and forcing him to paddle back to the Marsha Harbor marina.

Brian was arrested Wednesday in Abaco after Lynette’s daughter from a previous relationship raised the alarm.
“There have been prior issues brought to my attention, which may be important for any thorough investigation.
If this truly was an accident, I can understand and live with it,” Karli Aylesworth told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“However, there needs to be an intensive review of the facts and circumstances of this tragic incident before that can be determined,” she added.
Brian’s attorney said he has been “cooperating with the relevant authorities as part of an ongoing investigation” following his arrest Wednesday evening.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that Brian allegedly didn’t tell Aylesworth about her mother’s disappearance for almost 24 hours.
When he finally called her, his voice was “monotone and relaxed,” Aylesworth told NBC News.
Brian had previously assaulted his wife and threatened to throw her overboard, Aylesworth added in a separate interview with Fox News.
“There’s history of him choking her out and threatening to throw her overboard.
So the fact that this is actually happening makes me believe there’s more to the story,” she said.
Brian has strenuously denied any involvement in his wife’s disappearance, saying he was “devastated” in a statement posted on his Facebook page.
