Investigators have located a boat that may have struck and killed the 15-year-old granddaughter of a US diplomat near Key Biscayne, Florida, on Saturday, authorities said. The boat fits the description of the one that hit Ella Adler, and is in custody, authorities said on Tuesday. The boat’s owner is cooperating with the investigation, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission said. The vessel didn’t stop after striking the teenager, and a $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in the case. Ella, the granddaughter of US Ambassador to Belgium Michael M. Adler, fell into the water near Nixon Beach in Miami-Dade County while waterskiing and was struck by a boat at around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, a news release from the fish and wildlife commission said. Ella was a “star” and “force of nature,” who was a ballerina with the Miami City Ballet, “proud to be Jewish,” and a member of the Ransom Everglades Jewish Students Association, an obituary states. “We are heartbroken,” the Ransom Everglades School said in a post on Facebook.
