Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

GPS evidence now contradicts Brian Hooker's account in the disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker, in the Bahamas. Hooker told authorities that Lynette fell from their 8-foot dinghy into the water during bad weather on the evening of April 4 and was swept away. He claims Lynette had the electronic motor keys with her leaving him stranded in the dinghy. He says he had to paddle for hours to reach shore. Investigators reviewed electronic tracking data from Brian Hooker's devices, finding significant discrepancies.
GPS data shows the dinghy moving across the water, stopping in the Sea of Abaco, and then returning. Hooker’s account lead investigators to search “in the wrong area” for Lynette.

Keon King, the suspect accused of the October kidnapping and murder Kada Scott, will stand trial. He has pleaded not guilty to murder, kidnapping, and abuse of a corpse. A pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for June 24.
Kada Scott's remains were found in a wooded area behind an abandoned school in East Germantown. She was last seen shortly after arriving for a shift at an assisted living facility in Chestnut Hill. Police began searching the area, near the vacant Ada H. Lewis Middle School for Scott after receiving a "very specific" anonymous tip.
Police previously searched the area of the school and arboretum in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia but reported only finding some physical evidence, without commenting on what evidence was uncovered. Community members voice anger and frustration at police while gathering behind the crime scene tape during the search on Saturday, saying they could have found the body sooner.
Keon King had a criminal record prior to his alleged involvement in Scott’s kidnapping. Investigators say King kidnapped and assaulted another victim earlier in the year.

In February 1998 the dismembered remains of an elderly man were found in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The remains were in two suitcases found days apart and investigators determined all of the remains belonged to the same individual. The hands and head were not in either suitcase, preventing identification of the remains. The case went cold. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a look at what happened over 30 years and how Othram was able to identify the remains and in the process, identify the person who put the remains in the suitcases.
