The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking information about the owner of a sailboat that may have been moored near the vessel of missing Michigan woman Lynette Hooker on the night she disappeared in the Bahamas.

Coast Guard investigators are specifically looking for the owner of a sailboat that was positioned near Lynette and Brian Hooker's 45-foot sailboat, called the "SV Soulmate," according to authorities.

The development represents a new lead in the ongoing search for Hooker, who went missing while in Bahamian waters. The Coast Guard has not released additional details about the timeline of her disappearance or the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Investigators appear to be focusing on identifying and potentially interviewing anyone who may have been in the vicinity during the time period when Hooker was last seen. The sailboat in question could potentially provide witness accounts or other information relevant to the case.

The Coast Guard has not indicated whether the nearby vessel is considered connected to Hooker's disappearance or if it is simply part of routine investigative procedures to interview potential witnesses in the area.
