UMVA has learned that federal investigators have reignited the hunt for the Michigan woman who vanished in the Bahamas after fresh forensic data exposed cracks in her husband’s night‑time account.
Newly recovered GPS coordinates from the husband’s marine navigation app point to an unsearched stretch of the Sea of Abaco, prompting authorities to request Bahamian clearance for a dive team to scour waters up to 25 feet deep.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the device’s trail shows the boat lingering in a specific pocket of the sea before returning to shore, a pattern that starkly contradicts the husband’s story of a sudden accident.
Investigators are now racing to pull data from the vessel’s onboard electronics, including an infrared camera, hoping the hidden footage will illuminate the moments before the disappearance.
Family members have already supplied DNA samples, strengthening the forensic net that swirls around the case as analysts in Quantico continue to dissect the mounting evidence.
The husband, who initially claimed his wife fell from a small dinghy and was swept away by fierce currents, was detained for five days in the Bahamas but never charged, later returning to the United States to care for his ailing mother.
In a recent development, the Coast Guard seized the couple’s shared sailboat, “Soulmate,” while it lay docked in Florida, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding mystery.
Through social media, the husband expressed heartbreak over the “unpredictable seas and high winds” that he says tore his beloved away, yet the new GPS evidence now paints a far more complex picture.
