The search for 55-year-old Lynette Hooker, who has been missing since April, has entered day three in the renewed search to find her, as teams comb both land and sea for evidence in the case.

The $30 million search operation

The team has been carrying out the mission, with divers seen scouring the Sea of Abaco near Elbow Cay.

At this point, they will leave no stone unturned.

The investigators will backtrack into the last known moment that she was seen based on hard evidence.

Then they'll move forward from there, said Nicole Parker, former FBI special agent and Fox News contributor.

Cooperation and assistance crucial

Thankfully, the Bahamas has an excellent relationship with the United States in jointly working these sorts of investigations.

Their cooperation and assistance are crucial for potential leads, Parker said.

What auditors flagged in the last known moment

She went overboard from a dinghy.

Open questions

It would've been easy to get rid of her in a remote location at sea or if there are other theories popping up, they won't rule those out, she said.

Parker believes there is more intel than what is available to the public.

Law enforcement almost always knows much more than what they share, she said.
