A U.S. Coast Guard dive team is in the Bahamas on Wednesday searching for Lynette Hooker,<\/a> an American woman who went overboard and vanished nearly two months ago.<\/p>\n

The Coast Guard Investigative Service is leading the investigation and received permission from the Bahamas to send U.S divers to areas that were previously not searched, according to multiple U.S. officials.<\/p>\n

The new search comes after forensic evidence found on electronic devices belonging to Lynette Hooker’s husband, Brian Hooker, led investigators to new areas of interest, officials said.<\/p>\n

A U.S. official told ABC News that what Brian Hooker told investigators does not match the GPS data recovered from his devices.<\/p>\n

Lynette Hooker<\/a> has been missing since the evening of April 4. Brian Hooker told authorities that after the couple departed Hope Town on their dinghy to head to their yacht, called the “Soulmate,”\u00a0bad weather caused her to go overboard.<\/p>\n

Brian Hooker was arrested on April 8 and questioned by police. He\u00a0was released\u00a0<\/a>on April 13 without charges.<\/p>\n

On April 14,\u00a0Brian Hooker told ABC News\u00a0<\/a>that he was staying in the Bahamas with a “sole focus” of finding his wife. But hours after that interview, Brian Hooker left the Bahamas, with his attorney saying he wanted to be with his terminally ill mother.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
