Fourt Lauderdale detective Travis Mandell said that the police are working on land, analyzing any physical evidence left on the boat. They are also trying to determine if the onboard GPS can help in their search.
“We’re all out there, coordinating a search of the waterways, as well as the ocean, to try to locate if he’s possibly in the water,” said Mandell. “We had officers scouring the beach on ATVs, searching if he may have come ashore there.
“Anything’s possible at this point, and investigators are pursuing all leads, so we’re hoping that if anyone out there has seen Mr. Aguiar, to please contact their local law enforcement,” he said according to the Daily Mail.
After finding the boat, authorities went to Aguiar’s house to speak to his wife, Jamie. She said she arrived home the night before, believing her husband was in the home office, reported ABC.
One of the employees that works for the couple told Jamie that her husband left on his boat around 7:30 pm Tuesday.
“No one has seen Guma since,” Fort Lauderdale police wrote in a statement, according to ABC. “Jamie told officers that she is concerned for her husband’s safety.”
However, after searching 1,523 square miles, the Coast Guard called off the search for Aguiar around 9 pm on Thursday.
His mother, Ellen filed a petition to control her son’s $100 million fortune saying he “disappeared as the result of mental derangement or other mental cause” or disappeared “under circumstances indicating that he may have died, either naturally, accidentally or at the hands of another,” reported the Daily Mail.
The legal documents that were filed to control his assists lists a $50 million investment portfolio, $15 million in cash and $35 million in Israeli real estate, reported the Daily Mail.
‘There is an imminent danger that the property of the absentee is in danger of being wasted, misappropriated or lost unless immediate action is taken because the absentee has disappeared … and assets must be protected from waste and/or dissipation,’ the petition states.
Ellen Aguiar said her son “as struggling, he was under tremendous pressures that would not cease.
‘And those of us who were very concerned reached out to parties essentially begging them to mitigate him from some of the pressures and allow him to take a break,” she said, according to CNN.
