Woman Pleads No Contest to Lying to Police in Coldwater Lake Fatal Boat Crash Investigation

  • Carlos Guillermo Alonso, 79, and Edmund Richard Hartley, 31, faced misdemeanor charges in April 2024 for a fatal boat crash near Key Biscayne, Florida.
  • The charges followed a May 2024 incident where 15-year-old Ella Adler died after being struck by a boat while wakeboarding behind a vessel operated by Hartley.
  • Investigators found Alonso's Boston Whaler docked at his Coral Gables home, described as a light blue hull center console boat with multiple white outboard engines.
  • Alonso's attorneys said he did not realize he had hit anyone and confirmed he was cooperating with authorities; both men pleaded not guilty to the charges.
  • Authorities continue to investigate the hit-and-run incident, and the charges reflect violations of multiple U.S. Coast Guard navigational rules by both men.
