A video of the Cuban millionaire Carlos Guillermo Alonso recorded before and after the accident occurred on May 12 in Biscayne Bay, Miami, where a 15-year-old girl who was water skiing died.
The recording belongs to a surveillance camera on the pier behind Alonso’s house in Coral Gables.
The images spread by Telemundo 51 They allow us to see the 78-year-old untie his 42-foot Boston Whaler boat at 3:08 pm on the fateful day and take to the water. A little over an hour later, he is seen returning and mooring the boat. The moment he leaves the ship is not shown.
In the opinion of Lauren Krasnoff, the businessman’s lawyer, the video should help put an end to some of the “terrible and false rumors circulating about” her client.
“As the video shows, Bill was alone. He was not drinking and had no idea that he could have hit anyone. He parked the boat at his house, was calm, did not clean the boat and did not try to hide anything,” he stressed.
Krasnoff added that Alonso will continue to cooperate with authorities in every way possible. However, he clarified that it is still not known for sure if he was the one who accidentally hit and killed teenager Ella Riley Adler, a freshman at Ransom Everglades in Coconut Grove.
“If he was that person, I can tell you that he had no idea what happened that day. He is devastated,” he stressed.
Last week, Ella Riley Adler Lost Her Life While Water Skiing in Biscayne Bay, Miami. It all happened when a boat, which then fled the scene, brutally hit her in the water.
The victim was celebrating a friend’s birthday on a family boat.
Days later the authorities located the boat and identified its owner, the Cuban millionaire Carlos Guillermo Alonso, 78, as the pilot who hit the girl and continued its course.
Alonso, who came to the United States in the 1960s through Operation Pedro Pan, is an entrepreneur in the technology sector, founder and director of Technical Systems & Equipment Corp., a company located in Doral specialized in heating and ventilation systems. and air conditioning.

The residence, about 5,600 square feet, has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool and its own dock. There was found his 42-foot Boston Whaler boat, which was seized by the Fisheries Conservation Commission and Florida Wildlife (FWC).
The authorities verified that Alonso was the only person on board the boat and did not stop after the accident, the FWC report denounces.
The girl, from Miami Beach, fell off her wakeboard a mile from the coast and while being towed by another boat was hit by the Cuban’s Boston Whaler.
“She was waiting to be recovered by her boat, wearing a life jacket and her wakeboard still attached, when another boat collided with her. She died from her injuries,” Officer George Reynaud told ABC.
Ella Adler was the granddaughter of Michael Adler, the United States ambassador to Belgium, who was formerly president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Miami and vice president of the Board of Trustees of Florida International University.
