Brian Hooker was released from police custody Monday after being questioned by investigators about his wife Lynette’s disappearance.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Hours after being released from police custody, the husband of a Michigan woman missing in the Bahamas has vowed to continue searching for his wife.

Brian Hooker was released by Bahamian authorities Monday evening. He has not been charged with any crime in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker.

In a new statement Tuesday morning shared with Michigan’s WZZM, Hooker’s attorney said he will not be sitting down for additional media interviews at this time.

“Mr. Hooker’s primary focus remains the search for his wife of 25 years,” attorney Terrel A. Butler told WZZM. “He is dedicating his full emotional and physical energy toward coordinating with relevant parties to find her.”

Lynette Hooker has been missing since April 4, when Brian Hooker told authorities she fell overboard from a small dinghy while the couple was traveling between islands in the Bahamas.
