"It is not something that has been put to rest," said Nicole Parker, a Fox News contributor and former FBI special agent.

She addressed a case that has captivated America and has people asking, "Where is Lynette Hooker?"

It's been six months since the 55-year-old Michigan mother vanished while on a sailing vacation with her husband in the Bahamas.

No one has seen nor heard from Hooker since April 4.

According to her husband, Brian, she "went overboard" from a dinghy in Hope Town after the couple went out for drinks that evening. They were making their way back to their sailboat "Soulmate," he told investigators.

He was initially detained, questioned and then released by Bahamian authorities. He has not been charged with any crime or accused of wrongdoing.

"Just because the public doesn’t exactly see what’s happening, doesn’t mean that it’s not happening behind the scenes," Parker said.
