The lawyer representing the husband of missing American boater Lynette Hooker revealed what police grilled him about after hauling him into custody as a suspect — and when he may walk free.

Brian Hooker’s attorney, Terrel Butler, said police questioned the 59-year-old for over two hours Friday about the couple’s time in the Bahamas and the hours leading up to his wife suddenly falling overboard from a small dinghy near Hope Town Saturday night, Fox News Digital reported.

Hooker, who was arrested Wednesday night, was also grilled about shocking domestic violence allegations his stepdaughter, Karli Aylesworth, made after her 55-year-old mother mysteriously vanished.

“The officers will review the entire file and then make a decision,” Butler told the outlet, adding Hooker is being investigated for a possible murder charge or causing harm resulting in death.

“We are uncertain at this point if anybody was recovered. If you have not located the person how can you say that harm was caused to the person.”

Although the husband hasn’t been charged with a crime, the Royal Bahamas Police Force has until 7:20 p.m. Friday to charge him, cut him loose or push for more time behind bars.

The Hookers, married for about 25 years, were riding their dinghy into rough waters Saturday night while en-route to their yacht, “Soulmate,” when Lynette reportedly fell off. 

Police said Lynette went into the water with the boat key, cutting off the engine, before being carried away by a strong current and out of her husband’s sight.

With the engine off, Hooker was forced to paddle back to shore. He returned early the next morning and reported his wife missing.

A security guard told the Daily Mail that a blank-faced Hooker dragged himself ashore hours later and admitted the pair had been “drinking” and “were drunk” when the tragedy unfolded.

“He wasn’t crying or anything. He didn’t seem stressed in that way,” night watchman Edward Smith told the outlet, adding that Hooker didn’t show “a lot of emotion” but was pleading for water.

“He drank and kept asking for more. He had some water from my cooler, I then gave him another liter. He drank that down and then he wanted even more.”

When Smith asked why the Michigan couple took the dinghy out into choppy waters in the dark, Hooker said the pair had been drinking.

“We were drinking, we were drunk. I should have known better. I shouldn’t have done it,” the husband reportedly told him, before adding: “Whatever happened, happened. The wind was blowing so hard when it happened she just went over.”

Hooker has denied any involvement in his wife’s disappearance, saying he was “devastated” in a statement posted on his Facebook page – and “categorically denied” the allegations made by his adult stepdaughter.

The 28-year-old told multiple outlets this week that her volatile stepdad had previously threatened to throw her mom overboard and said there was a “history of him choking her.”

Aylesworth also said the pair had a “history of not getting along, especially when they drink” — and called for a full probe into her mom’s disappearance.
