The mission Brazilian-born man’s wife, mother, uncle, and siblings have been feuding over his estimated $100 million fortune since is disappearance, the Orlando Sentinel notes.
The absence of a body means that it could take up to five years for Guma Aguiar to be declared dead in the eyes of the law – and insurance companies.

The possible widow had this to say about her missing spouse:
“It’s a very difficult time. I try and count our blessings every single day and try and think of what I’m grateful for.”

The couple has one daughter and three sons. The children range in age from 15 months to 7 years old. Jamie is reportedly raising the children in the Aguiar’s $5 million mansion, but the property has been listed for sale.
