Hi guys, welcome to an episode of Till Death Do Us Part.

I will be your host Emily Simpson with.

Shane.

We're going to end up talking about the couple in the Bahamas because that's in the news

and I feel like we should go into that.

The couple's name.

It's Brian Hooker and his wife Lynette who has disappeared within the Bahamas.

We're going to talk about that.

But before we do that, let's just go into some, this is actually breaking news.

So in April of 2024, Celeste Rivas Hernandez is a California teen.

She's 14 years old at the time of her disappearance and she's first reported missing from her

hometown of Lake El Sonor.

She reportedly vanished multiple times throughout 2024, returning home before disappearing

again later.

Then I don't know if you guys remember this, this was all over the news.

In September 8th, 2025, a decomposed body is discovered inside the front trunk of a

Tesla at an impound lot in the Hollywood Hills.

The car was registered to singer David, his name is David Burke, who was 20 years old at

the time.

On this time, the Tesla had been abandoned in the neighborhood, in that neighborhood,

I guess where he lived, for weeks before being towed due to inactivity.

If you had a body in your Tesla, would you just abandon it?

I mean, you have a Tesla.

What else am I going to do with it?

I don't know.

If there's a body in my car, I'm not going to gravitate towards, I'm going to get away

from it.

But I'm not going to put a body in my car.

You're going to continue to drive it around.

No, I will put it in someone else's car, not my car.

On this time, the Tesla had been abandoned in the neighborhood for weeks before being

towed due to inactivity.

Then, September 16th of 2025, the LA County Medical Examiner identified the remains as Celeste

Rivas Erdogan.

The car was taken in just for the sake of it being a left-on public property or whatever,

and then they'd take it, they'd do an inventory.

They're like, oh, they're like young female in the trunk.

The medical examiner confirms that she died sometime prior to discovery and just after

her 15th birthday.

Well, of course, she died sometime prior to discovery.

Let's get for the truck drivers.

Does that take a long?

Yeah.

I mean, does it take her medical examiner to figure that one out?

Investigators treat the case as a homicide, and the LAPD conduct searches, executes, war

and set a Hollywood Hills property linked to David and sees his electronic evidence.

The grand jury becomes involved in my late 2025 prosecutors are presenting evidence to

a grand jury and discussing potential murder charges connected to David Burke.

In early 2026, reports emerge that Burke is an investigative target with authorities

building probable cause that he may have involvement in Celeste's death.

April 16th of 2026, David Anthony Burke, who is now 21 years old, is arrested by LAPD

on suspicion of murdering Celeste because they're building a case.

And I feel like they don't want to do a premature, you know, I think they know like, I'll just

put it in the front of my car and then leave my car on the side of the road.

Yeah.

Yeah.

David is taken into custody in Hollywood Hills and is being held without bail.

Singer David has been charged with murder in the death of 14 year old Celeste Revis.

Why would we call him Singer David?

Because he's a singer.

He's also a murderer.

Would you like me to call or would you want me to call him a crook?

Yes.

Crook David, Crook David, Crook David, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said

that the 24 year old David was charged with first degree murder and the killing of Celeste

Revis Hernandez.

She was reported missing by her family in 2024 when she was only 13 authorities who described

her Monday as a runaway said she was 14 when she was killed.

The murder charges include special circumstances, lying in wait, committing crime for financial

gain and murdering the witness in an investigation that could carry the death penalty.

Prosecutors have not announced whether they will seek the death penalty or not, but David

Burke is also charged with a lewd and lavishess acts with a person under 14 and mutilating

a body.

Okay.

That's a lot.

So we don't know the details of that, but the lying in wait, committing crime for financial

gain, murdering the witness in an investigation.

That's a lot.

Right.

So clearly they've been building a case and that's why it's taken so long, but that's

where we're at.

So we will continue to follow this case and give more updates on it.

I'm assuming I'm going to predict what are you going to predict guilty guilty.

Do you think that they had they were boyfriend and girlfriend?

I would.

I don't even know this guy never heard of this guy other than the whole Tesla thing.

Why could you have a Tesla?

No, because it makes the headlines.

If it was if it was in a Chevy on-boy, they would not say that.

No, I know.

This is what it was.

It was a Tesla.

It was just a lot.

I know.

It's my same point when I talk about what someone's a cheerleader.

Like if they're a lacrosse player, that's never part of the headlines or soccer player.

It's not like girl soccer player murdered.

They don't say that.

Or if you're a housewife and you commit a crime.

Oh, it says housewife.

Yeah.

But if you're just if you're a real housewife at home and commit a crime, they're not going

to be like housewife Joanne.

Yes, they don't care.

Committed murder.

They don't care about Joanne and whether she's a housewife or not.

But I'm telling you, you're right, if it was if it was a Honda Civic, it wouldn't have

been in the headline.

No.

But when it's a Tesla, it's in a headline and when a girl's a cheerleader, it's in a headline.

Wow, we have a modern homicide here with the Tesla.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable.

Until I really start making money.

It's financial literacy month and the podcast eating while broke is bringing real conversations

about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, here from top streamers, zoospenser, and venture capitalist Laquisha, Landrum Pierre,

as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.

If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,

it's like, what?

Today, now, obviously, it's like 100%.

They believe everything.

But first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.

There's an economic component to community striving.

If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.

And what I mean by falls, they don't have money to pay for food.

They cannot feed their kids.

They do not have homes.

Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Let's move on to another case that I feel like we're just in the very beginning stages

of this.

But I think it's going to get interesting.

There's going to be more that comes out, but I don't know if you guys have heard or followed

your new source, which my new source is Instagram, as we all know.

But Ashley Janay.

It's not just your new source.

It's also your entertainment, your past time, where you get inspiration.

Yes.

It's a lot of it.

Presenting advice.

Yes.

It's all there.

You don't need anything else.

I need more than Instagram.

Okay.

I know.

Because you're, yes.

You said you don't need anything else.

I was talking about myself.

I was talking about you.

All right.

So Ashley Janay was a 31 year old social media lifestyle and travel influencer who is

based in the US with 154,000 followers on Instagram.

She recently died in Tanzania.

Did you come across this case at all?

Tanzania.

Tanzania.

I'm not read Tanzania news today.

Okay.

It wasn't just in Tanzania.

She's from the US and she was vacationing in Tanzania with her boyfriend who proposed

to her.

And then she ends up dead.

Very much reminds me of, we did an episode until death do us part of Larry Rudolph who

murdered his wife while they were on a safari in Africa.

Do you remember that?

Yeah.

And I said, that's a very smart way if you want to get rid of your wife or husband is to

go to some foreign land and commit a crime because they, they, it's not the same as

committing a crime here.

That's why I'm telling you our trip on July, we keep asking where we're going.

I'm, I'm planning it, I'm getting ideas.

All right.

On April 3rd, 2026, Ashley Janay was on vacation in Zanzibar, celebrating her 31st birthday

and had just gotten engaged to her fiance Joe McCann.

A few days after the engagement, she was found unresponsive in her hotel villa and taken

to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

This was on April 9th of 2026.

People, Tanzanian authorities initially suggested the death might have been a suicide

and said the fiance provided information to them.

However, the couple had a huge argument the night before Ashley's death, which prompted

hotel staff to place them in separate rooms.

I've never been on an occasion where I even thought that was a possibility.

What?

To be in a separate room?

Now I'm going to, I'm going to call the hotel staff and be like, can you please separate

us?

I never knew that was possible.

Or is that only in this country that they do?

No, I think it's when you get in a huge fight where you're disturbing other guests.

I think in the USA, they just kick you out.

Probably.

This place has the courtesy to give you a separate room.

Yes, they did.

They were very kind.

They said, you're causing a disturbance.

So we're going to separate you until you two can get along.

The fiance Joe McCann has not been charged with any crime at this point.

He has been questioned by police as part of the investigation and his passport was reportedly

held by the authorities while they continue their investigation.

Wait, so this happened prior to the death, right?

Obviously, the separation until, yeah.

It was the night before.

No, so didn't he think that that could be used against him?

Like, the separation part.

Yeah, like he went far away.

We're saying he went far away to murder her, right?

Here's the thing that doesn't make sense.

They went there as a trip for her birthday, but he also proposed to her while they were

on this trip.

So I don't think his intent and going there was to murder her.

Oh, you think this, I think maybe they're really on a vacation together.

I think maybe they got in a huge fight over something.

I don't know what, and I don't know what happened during that fight, but she ends up dead

the next day.

But they're also in two separate rooms at this point.

So I don't know.

I mean, this is all alleged at this point.

He hasn't been charged with anything.

I'm just throwing out ideas.

What do you think?

We're just speculating at this point.

We don't know.

But it does look suspicious when you're in Africa, when you get in a huge fight.

And then your girlfriend or your now fiance is dead the next day.

Well, why is it, why is being in Africa?

Because I keep thinking about, because I keep going back to Larry Rudolph and taking

it.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Well, maybe he did, but then why ask her to marry him?

I don't know.

Well, why did that other guy, the guy that tried to put his wife off the club, but she was

stronger than him?

Yeah.

Why did he do all that?

I'm playing the hit dinner reservation, everything, because that's a cover up.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's true, too.

I don't know.

So an autopsy has reportedly been completed, but the family has not yet been given the results

and full details about the official cause of death remain unavailable publicly.

So again, we don't know exactly what is going on.

We're speculating at this point.

However, Ashley's family and loved ones strongly dispute the idea that she would have taken

her own life and have described the circumstances as suspicious, urging authorities to

conduct a thorough investigation.

So far, as of today, no criminal charges have been announced, and the investigation is

still ongoing in Zanzibar with the family cooperating and seeking answers.

Media and online communities have circulated various theories and speculation, but law

enforcement has not confirmed foul play beyond the ongoing inquiry.

I have a hard time believing that it's suicide.

I feel like there's foul play involved.

That's just my takeaway, and that's alleged and it's speculating, but that's my, I'm

going to go with that.

I think there's more to this story.

I think something happened after their fight.

I don't know what, but she found in her room.

Yes, but she was 31 and young and an influencer, but they separated, but it's not like he couldn't

go in her room or text her and say, can I come over?

Right.

So yeah, it's not like they locked the two of them apart.

So who knows, who knows what happened after they were separated?

So anyway, we will continue to follow this because I find this case very interesting.

All right.

We're going to move on to the Bahamas case.

This is Brian Hooker and Lynette Hooker, and this has been all over the news and by news,

I mean my Instagram account.

So Lynette and Brian were, they were boating people and they were, they took their boat

to the Bahamas and they were in the Bahamas together.

They've been married a while.

I don't know exactly how long, but let's get into it.

So in early April of 2026, Lynette Hooker, I like saying that, don't you?

Yeah, I was going to say, I kind of like that last name.

Lynette Hooker is a 55 year old Michigan woman who went missing while boating with her husband,

Brian Hooker, near Elbow K in the Bahamas.

Brian told authorities that Lynette accidentally fell overboard from their dinghy.

This is at night while returning to their, I don't know if it's a yacht, I've seen pictures

of the boat.

It's not like...

It's like mansion.

Everyone says mansion now.

Everyone says yacht.

Yeah.

It's a boat.

I saw a boat.

How many of them are doing now?

I don't know, but it's just like an, it's just a, it's a boat.

You were impressed.

I wasn't impressed.

So it's not a yacht.

It was just a, I'm not saying it's not a nice boat, but it's not a yacht.

So we'll call it a boat.

It's called the soul mate, I believe.

And that he was unable to save her when he, when she fell out of this dinghy allegedly.

The Royal Bahamas police force, along with the United States Coast Guard, have launched

a search and rescue effort that later shifted to a recovery operation.

It's been two weeks at this point.

Look, that she's not alive.

Let's just make that clear.

Well, no, no, no.

Why?

You think she ran off and she has a whole...

Because usually when someone's missing, you, you claim sex trafficking and you think

they're still alive out there somewhere.

No, that was Amy Bradley, which fell off a cruise ship.

I'm talking about a 55 year old woman that's married that allegedly the last person to

see her alive was her husband in a dinghy boat.

Oh, I think she did too.

I was just telling you.

And now it's been two weeks that the woman isn't alive.

She has, she has children and, yeah, there's no way.

Brian was detained in question for several days, but was ultimately released without charges.

He later returned to the United States, citing a family emergency.

We'll get more into that.

He left the Bahamas the day after he gave an interview saying that he wasn't going to

leave the Bahamas until he found his wife.

No joke.

No, leave me alone.

I got to go home.

And then he left.

He claimed his mom was sick or something.

Yes, but then I saw an interview with Lynette's daughter who said that doesn't make sense

because his mom's been sick for a long time.

Like it wasn't something new.

Like her health wasn't declining any further.

So that didn't sound accurate or right to her.

Also, he had to have gotten some kind of expedited passport to get out of the Bahamas to fly

into Georgia.

He flew into Atlanta to go home, I guess.

Why would he an expedited passport?

Because he lost, he claims he lost his passport and when she fell overboard, she had like

a dry bag and his passport and her passport were inside of it.

And he claims that went overboard with her when she supposedly or allegedly fell out of

this dinghy, which I don't even know if I believe that happened.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.

Welcome to Money and Wealth with John Hill Bryant from the Black Effect Network on the

I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, Ernest, what's up?

Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn

income into real wealth.

On each episode of the podcast, Earn Elysia, we break down the conversations you need to understand

money, investing, and entrepreneurship.

From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth, we translate complex

financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand.

Because the truth is, most people were never taught how money really works, but once you

understand the system, you can start to build within it.

That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself,

but for the next generation.

If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner,

Earn Elysia is the podcast for you.

That's not a yacht.

I know.

It's what I told you.

That is not a yacht.

Right.

It's, well, I don't know.

It's about.

It is not a yacht.

Right.

He claims that she had the dingy engine keys with her, and that when she, so when she

fell overboard, the motor shut off, leaving him stranded.

All right.

Let's just talk about this for a minute.

She has the keys and the dry bag.

Yes.

So they go to a bar, and they have four drinks, and they're at the pool.

And the bartender sees them.

It doesn't remember them.

They weren't remarkable.

They didn't have a fight.

They didn't yell at each other.

They didn't stand out.

They were just like a normal couple at this bar pool area.

So they docked their boat, the soulmate.

Then they take a dingy, like a little boat, to cross, like, I don't know what it's called,

a harbor or something.

It's not that big.

Cross a body of water.

Or they cross a body of water to get to this end that has a bar, and they hang out there

and they go to the pool and they have some drinks.

They have more drinks.

They each had two drinks.

Oh, that was the...

According to the bartender.

All right.

Then the bartender remembers last serving them around 6.30 pm.

So let's say they finished those two drinks.

It would be 7 pm, right?

Allegedly they get back into this dingy boat to then cross this channel of water to get

back to their boat.

But this is where this breaks down because I don't think anyone...

I couldn't figure out a read if anyone actually saw them get into the boat.

So I don't know about that part.

But anyway, Brian claims that when they were crossing over this body of water to get back

to their boat.

Not.

Not.

Not.

It's not a yacht.

That the water...

It became windy and the water was choppy and his wife fell overboard.

And then...

Do we know if the weather reports support that?

Yes.

I did read the weather report.

Oh, yeah, you did.

I did.

Well, I saw...

I read an article or a song interview where people were talking about the weather.

They did say it was windy and the water was a little choppy.

But not like anything that would...

You did it for someone else out of boat.

Right.

And also, by the way, we have to remember that Lynette, they were boating people.

So like they were very comfortable and sailed.

They'd sailed their boat.

Yeah, that's right.

And some other yacht.

And she was a strong swimmer.

And he was a marine, like a former marine, and also a boating guy who had been navigating

boats and owning boats.

So how two people that have all this experience and skill.

And then she just...

I just have a hard time believing that she just hit some choppy water and fell over.

And he couldn't save her or see her.

Right.

And...

But he saved himself.

Well, he's in the...

That's what I'm saying, but he saved himself.

So I don't know.

It just seems very, very suspicious.

So he...

He didn't claim that she hit her head and fell over.

She just fell over.

Just fell over.

She went into the water.

Right.

And then that was the end of it.

But then when they found the dinghy later, after, you know, he says he floated for like eight

to nine hours before he finally floated into land or whatever, they found two life jackets

inside the dinghy.

So the question is, why didn't he throw one to her?

Why didn't he put one on and jump into the water to get her...

Well, because then she might still be alive.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Brian reportedly paddled for several hours, about seven to nine hours by his account, back

to shore to get help and reported Lynette missing early the next morning.

The Royal Bahamas police force, local voters, and later the U.S. Coast Guard begins searching

to try to find Lynette, which transitions into a recovery operations as so many days have

passed.

It's been two weeks.

Also, this body of water that they're in and in this dinghy, it's not very deep.

I read that it was only between like three feet to 15 feet and that it wasn't that large

of a amount of water, I think, only like 10 football fields.

So...

Meaning she could have somehow been saved, whether it be by another boat, swim somewhere,

or seen herself, and why has the body not been recovered?

They find bodies in water all the time.

And you know why, do you remember it being...

But they also not find bodies in water.

But you're talking about crystal clear blue water in the Bahamas.

It's not that...

What do you want to do with her?

I don't know.

I don't know, but it's not that large of a amount of water.

And they have had the Coast Guard and authorities and local people out looking and there's

nobody been found.

Bahamian police arrest and detain Brian Hooker in relation to Lynette's disappearance

as part of the ongoing investigation.

However, I think they only held him for five days and questioned him repeatedly by

authorities, but because they cannot file formal charges against him, he is released.

Bahamian law requires that police to either charge a suspect or release them, which leads

to his release, because they didn't have enough to charge him at this point in time.

He's released from police custody without any criminal charges being filed, and authorities

continue investigating, and he remains a person of interest, but no formal prosecution

has been announced.

He did tell after he was released from detainment, he speaks with the U.S. media, and he does

say that his soul focus is finding his wife and that he would never harm her.

He remains emotional and insists that the disappearance was accidental due to rough seas.

This is then the next day, or more, I told you that he talks about how his soul, you

know, his soul purpose is to stay in the Bahamas and find his wife.

But then Brian leaves the Bahamas.

And I will stay here until tomorrow morning.

And then Brian leaves the Bahamas and returns to the United States, citing a family emergency

specifically to be with his ailing mother.

This is according to a statement that was issued by his attorney, however, as I stated

earlier, he has a stepdaughter.

The stepdaughter's done several interviews.

She talks about how they've had a volatile relationship that they've fought a lot, that

he has anger issues.

Do you know how long they were married?

They were married for 25 years.

That's a long time.

That's a, then he's like, I can't take it anymore.

I know what happened in year 25 that didn't happen in the first 24.

I don't know, but I do think that they, according to the stepdaughter, they had a pretty

volatile marriage.

I think there were some domestic violence issues, and I think they had argued pretty often.

So his departure from the Bahamas draws public criticism, especially from Lynette's daughter,

who questioned his commitment to the search, given that in earlier statements, he said that

he would stay until his wife was found.

Lynette's daughter, her name's Carly Aesworth, Ailsworth, arrives in the Bahamas with her

partner to assist in the search and challenges Brian's account, suggesting that something

didn't add up and urging a thorough investigation.

I saw some video footage of her.

Some locals actually took the daughter out to the boat that her mom and her stepdaughter had

come to the Bahamas and not the yacht, it's a boat.

And she made some video of walking around on the boat and she collected some items that

were her moms.

I think she took a necklace on some other things.

I think it was emotional for her to see all her moms things and not knowing what happened

to her mom.

So currently, as of today, no charges have been filed against Brian Hooker, Bahamian

authorities and the U.S. Coast Guard continue to treat Lynette's disappearance as an active

case and they are currently investigating Lynette's body at this point.

I think we're in a recovery operation, right?

Has not been found and the search has involved specialized assets, including dogs trained

to detect remains.

The thing is, she has to be in the Bahamas, she's somewhere in that vicinity.

Because we know she left the bar, right?

We know like she was there, right?

And then we know according to his statement that they got into the dinghy and that she

fell out.

No.

If I believe that.

What if he took that one of the boats way out, dumped her, then came back.

The dinghy?

Yeah.

So he could have killed her in the dinghy and then drove and driven the dinghy far out.

He could have done it in a regular boat and then they were out and dumped her and he came

back.

And then 30 minutes later, he's like, I've been paddling for eight hours.

Yeah.

paddling for eight hours gives him a huge chunk of time to have been able to commit a crime.

There remains public debate and speculation about whether the disappearance was an accident

or involved foul play, family members and some experts question Brian's account.

I don't know.

I question Brian's account.

I don't know.

So I would like to know if there's any type of surveillance that shows her actually getting

into the dinghy.

I'm sure that's part of the best emotion I would like to know if that or if there were

any witnesses that saw them actually get into the dinghy and actually drive out into that

body of water to head.

I would like to know where the body is.

Well, I would like to know where the body is too.

And I would like to know where Nancy Guthrie is as well.

Yes.

Where is Nancy Guthrie?

Yeah.

And where is that hooker?

That's what I want to know.

So if anybody out there knows where Nancy Guthrie is or when that hooker, please DM me so

that we can let the authorities know.

Call TMZ.

Call TMZ.

Call me.

And Shane.

We will crack that case.

We will be on it.
