FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — New surveillance video from a South Florida port shows a missing oil tycoon steering his boat into the ocean in tumultuous seas less than half an hour after leaving his home. It’s the last known image of 35-year-old Guma Aguiar, whose boat washed ashore last week without him.
Friends also came forward Monday to talk about the young millionaire they say was misrepresented in the spotlight, where his battles with bipolar disorder often played out.
Aguiar made a fortune in 2006 when the Texas-based energy company he ran with his uncle was sold for a reported $2.5 billion. But he has been locked in a contentious legal battle with his uncle over money.
Police are combing through cell phone records and said they don’t suspect foul play at this time.
