Bahamian officials search for missing US woman after husband says she fell overboard

Authorities in the Bahamas are searching for a U.S. woman who is missing at sea after her husband reported that she fell overboard. Police told The Associated Press Wednesday that the search continues for the woman, whom they declined to identify. Bahamian police have said the couple was traveling from Hope Town to Elbow Cay on Saturday night, and that the woman’s husband told authorities that she fell overboard with the boat keys, causing the engine to turn off. NBC News quoted a woman identified as Karli Aylesworth who said her mother, Lynette Hooker, is missing in the Bahamas, and that it was unlikely she would “just fall” off the dinghy.
