So frustrating, I've been following the articles in the Aruba press for a few days now.  Not an easy thing to do, there's not a good translator for the 24ora articles that are almost always in Papiamento.

They never spelled her name right, never saw a picture of her in any of the Aruban press articles.

 ::MonkeyNoNo::

But the speculation has been rampant! 

I hope she's found and safe. 

Why did it take almost a week to hit the MSM?     ::MonkeyNoNo::

I wonder if the Aruban authorities have looked anywhere other than Baby Beach for her?

Research missing tourist continues       

MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 2011 2:15 P.M.

ORANGE CITY - Authorities have Sunday again studied the disappearance of American tourist Robyn Lynn Garbner at Baby Beach.

Employees of the investigation, the Public Prosecutor (OM) and the suspect GVG (50) went to the spot where G. said the victim lost his sight while snorkeling. Reportedly, the researchers in that location scenarios filmed. The 35-year-old disappeared last week after Garbner a snorkeling trip with her 50-year-old companion GG He told her that he had lost, but attracted the attention of the police through his seemingly calm attitude. Further research by the investigators increased the suspicion that the police already had and eventually the man was arrested Friday afternoon at the airport when he tried to leave our country. According to sources, victim and suspect know each other and the Internet have come together to Aruba.

The sea is quiet, but the current is strong. The male tourist swam to sure, but could not see his wife anymore. It is reported that the man was under the influence of alcohol as well. The research lasted well into the night with helicopter patrolling the sea in the area. The search will continue today at 6:00am. The authority is not classifying it as a case of drowning as of yet.

A 35 YO American Robyn Lynn Garbner went snokeling near Baby Beach got separated from her partner. She did not surface and was not found after extensive search. According to her partner she snorkeled under the influence. But this is to be confirmed if it is the case because there was no body yet.

The Aruban authorities also said they worked with the FBI in Natalee's case, but from what Beth revealed later; I don't think they actually "allowed" them to do much of anything.  From my understanding they were only allowed to observe.

Infuriating!   ::MonkeyNoNo::

IMO, it all depends on what they think really happened to her as to how much involvement the FBI will  have.  They have to be "invited" into the investigation iirc.

If it's anything that will look bad on Aruba...they will keep the FBI at arms length.

If they're (actually) going to call the FBI in, they don't think she's drowned.

I hope they're not just saying that to appease the family, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm praying that they will find her.   ::MonkeyAngel::

IF she was abducted, the Aruban authorities have given the abductors a week's head start.

They should have called the FBI in Wednesday when they didn't find her.

She's a beautiful woman.

I wonder how long she'd been on the island when she disappeared?

If you want to carry a post over to another thread in the future.  It's easy if the thread you're copying from is still open for posting.  Just click on "quote", copy all of the post that shows up in the posting box, and go to the thread you want to post it in, click "reply" and paste it there and then post it.  When you do it that way, there's a link at the top of the quote that will lead back to where you copied it from. 

It's a little more trouble if the thread you're copying from is closed, but you can still do it.  If you right click on the title above the post and click "copy link address" you can post the link and then copy the post as it is in the thread and put it in a quote box in the new thread with the link above it.

Hope that makes sense!

Lawyer of detained American annoyed, reacts: Client offered to remain on the island, but police preferred to detain him at airport         

Monday, 08 August 2011 14:45
   
The local lawyer of an American who was detained on Aruba has told his client to use his right to remain silent as the man has already given extensive declarations to the police.
Lawyer Michael Lopez expressed he was annoyed at authorities and said this was not the way to treat someone who has given all cooperation in the investigation.

An American man, Gary Giordano said he met the woman he gave up as disappeared after a snorkeling trip at Nanki, San Nicolas, on a dating website. They used to meet twice per month in the U.S.

The morning of his arrest, on Friday, Giordano met with the disappeared woman’s mother as well as the Consul of the U.S. for the Dutch Caribbean. The mother deemed it unnecessary for Giordano ta remain on the island, as did the Consul. He was also questioned that same morning again by investigators; he gave and signed a nine-page declaration and told investigators he was to travel, asked if he should stay longer on the island, but got no answer. The conversation with investigators took place in the presence of his lawyer.

 ::snipping2::

He declared that he and the woman had indeed bought insurance before they left the U.S., but this was just a regular travel insurance and the woman’s mother is the beneficiary on hers.

Giordano will probably be seen by a prosecutor on Monday.

The news of the disappearance of Robyn Gardner on Aruba was published on arubaherald.com, after which a gentleman by the name of Richard Forester identified himself as her boyfriend. Gardner had come to Aruba with Gary Giordano, whom she had met on an online dating site. The two used to meet about twice per month.

Gardner had just returned to the U.S. from a trip with friends, wanted to travel again and Giordano booked their tickets to come to Aruba, where he used his Marriott points to pay for their accommodations. Giordano reported Gardner missing after a snorkeling trip, where they had gone into the ocean together, but he returned alone. A massive search was conducted by coastguard, police, Search and Rescue Aruba and other partners; nothing was found. Giordano was arrested on Friday, at the airport, when trying to leave the island. He was detained on suspicion of murder.

Aruban authorities are conducting a large scale investigation in connection with the disappearance of Robyn Gardner, an American tourist who disappeared on a snorkeling trip at Nanki in the Colony. On Sunday local authorities were at the site with the suspect, Gary Giordano, filming and measuring at certain spots.

According to sources, Giordano declared they had already gone to the site and decided to return to snorkel there the next day. They had swam out until they could not stand anymore and Giordano decided to swim back and it was when he arrived at the shore that he noticed that Gardner was not with him anymore and he called authorities.

Missing Woman Disappeared in Aruba

August 08, 2011 08:45 PM EDT

2 people recommend this | comments: 3

A woman is missing from Aruba in a case that seems reminiscent of the Natalee Holloway disappearance. The Maryland woman was visiting Aruba and was last seen around August 2nd at a casino and resort. Could she have met the same fate as some of the other missing women who've vanished while traveling abroad?

(http://images.wjla.com/biopictures/robyn-gardner-missing-aruba_296.jpg)

Robyn Gardner, 35, shares a striking resemblance to the missing teen from Alabama, Natalee Holloway. She is blonde, attractive and looks a few years younger than her actual age. Before anyone takes offense to the comparisons made between this disappearance and that of the Holloway case, it's important to know that even her own family made the connection. The boyfriend of Robyn Gardner suspects something terrible has happened and personally contacted the Natalee Holloway Resource Center.

Robyn Gardner, Bethesda woman missing in Aruba
August 8, 2011 - 07:20 pm

The 35-year-old vivacious woman hasn’t been heard form in six days. She was last seen Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Gardner, who lived and worked in Bethesda, left for Aruba on July 31st. Richard Forester says they had been dating for two and a half years, but quarreled before she left. He received his last e-mail from Gardner Tuesday, three hours before she was reported missing.

“The last message I got from her was ‘I love you,’” Forester said. “We will talk and sort things out when I get back,” Gardner wrote.

Forester thought Gardner went with a friend, but now believes she had a romantic relationship with her companion. The man notified Aruban authorities Gardner was missing. He said a current pulled her out to sea while snorkeling, according to an account in a local newspaper.

“I just don't think she was snorkeling. I think something has happened at this person's hand,” Forester alleges.

The intense search for Gardner bears some similarities to the 2005 disappearance of teenager Natalee Holloway. She never made it back to her plane to leave after a vacation on the island, and her body was never found.

Thanks grace-land!  Very interesting..   ::MonkeyEek::

Robyn Gardner was employed in a dental office until she lost her job two weeks ago.  The boyfriend said they "quarreled" before she left for Aruba on July 31st.  She'd sent a message to the boyfriend a few hours before she disappeared saying they'd talk and sort things out when she got back and she loved him.  Sound to me like the boyfriend thinks that Gary Giardono may have killed her...the commentator said that the boyfriend originally believed she'd gone to Aruba with a friend, but now believes he was a "romantic rival"...lengthy rap sheet including domestic violence...doesn't sound good.

Yes, it was very sad.     ::MonkeyNoNo::

It still just doesn't seem right to me.  Could Gary Giardono really be that lucky, to put her in the current just right so that she didn't come back to shore?  Wouldn't there be a sign of her by now if he killed her and put her in the water?

If he was really angry enough to kill her, I still think he could have done something worse like selling her.

I am not sure I understand all the facts surrounding this disappearance.  But one thought that popped into my mind...

The online lover was the one who booked the vacation to Aruba, correct?  If you wanted to make someone "disappear" and you wanted the Keystone Cops to be in charge of the investigation, where would you go to make this happen?

No where else in the world...but Aruba.

Authorities Question Man After Maryland Woman Disappears in Aruba

Published August 09, 2011 | FoxNews.com



A Maryland woman vacationing in Aruba has disappeared from the same resort town where Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway was last seen six years ago.

Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Md., disappeared Aug. 2 from the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, MyFoxDC.com reports.

Gardner was visiting the island with a man named Gary Giordano, whom authorities have since detained for questioning, according to the station.

Giordano told investigators that Gardner never made it back to shore after the pair went snorkeling, and has allegedly changed his story several times, the station reports.

Gardner's boyfriend, Richard Forester, said he doesn't believe Giordano's account and pleaded for the public to help find her.

Frederick woman missing in Aruba

Robyn Gardner, 35, was last seen a week ago, Aug. 2, at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba, according to the Natalee Holloway Resource Center, an organization that grew out of the Holloway case, also in Aruba. On Friday, four days after Gardner was reported missing, authorities there detained another tourist at the airport, said Ann Angela, a spokesperson for the Aruba’s public prosecutor’s office.

 ::snipping2::

She called the American a “suspect” in the case, but stressed how that covers a wide range of possibilities – from untimely reporting of Gardner’s disappearance to something more serious. “It’s too soon for us to be more specific,” Angela said.

 ::snipping2::

Angela, the prosecutor’s office spokesman, said that on Sunday the suspect and Aruba police went to a beach where the man said Gardner was last seen. In recent days, a local judge ordered him held for an additional eight days while the probe continues, she said.

 ::snipping2::

Forester, who said he has dated Gardner for the last eight months, said he only learned she was in Aruba after she got there. He said he last heard from Gardner a week ago, via a Facebook message in which she told him she loved him.

Forester said that Aruban authorities told him they plan to send Gardner’s Blackberry to the Netherlands for examination. He also said they are looking for clues in her iPad.

"At this moment we prefer to stick to 'involvement in the disappearance' because the investigation has to show what exactly happened, where she is now, if she's dead, if she's alive," Angela says.

Giordano will go through a series of detention hearings in which a judge will decide whether there are still grounds for him to be held in Aruba, Angela says. The next detention hearing is expected to take place this weekend, and there is no bond or bail in Aruba.

 ::snipping2::

"The last message I got from her was 'I love you,'" Forester says.

Much earlier in the day, at 2 a.m., Gardner appears to have written on Forester's Facebook wall, saying "this sucks." (Ed. note: See screenshot in photo gallery)

Forester also says Gardner appeared to be signed on to her Gmail account days after she reportedly had drowned, and there was no response when he tried to send her an instant message. He says Aruban authorities have Gardner's BlackBerry and iPad and are trying to access information from them.

   Police in Aruba detain man in connection with Frederick woman's disappearance
   
Robyn Gardner was reported missing last week in Aruba. A Facebook page has been launched to help find her.
   
   The Maryland man who reported Robyn Gardner of Frederick missing in Aruba last week was ordered Monday by a judge in that country to be held for at least eight more days in connection with her disappearance.

Gary Giordano, 50, was arrested Friday at the airport as he was preparing to leave the country, said prosecutor’s office spokeswoman Ann Angela. Angela said authorities suspect Giordano’s involvement in her disappearance.

Giordano told police that he and Gardner were snorkeling on the south side of the island. He said when he returned to shore, Gardner was not with him.

An Urbana man was arrested last week in connection with the theft of merchandise from the Target store in Germantown over the last three months, police said.

Gary Vincent Giordano, 42, of the 9700 block of Royal Crest Circle in Urbana, was arrested at his home Thursday and charged with three counts of theft over $500 and one count of theft by scheme over $500, police said.

Employees at the Target in the Milestone Shopping Center reported that an unidentified man entered the store March 4 and began placing items into a shopping cart -- including PlayStation2 game systems, DVD players, scanners and other electronic items, police said.

Hi folks:

Just returned from 9 glorious and perfect days in Aruba. One thing I want to share is something I have not heard and was not too aware of.

We spent the day with Madi the Arubian jeep tour operator. It was marvelous and she showed us the real Aruba. She has lived in Aruba all her life and I sat with her on the rocks at Natural Pool talking.

Anyway, she told me that more people (especially tourist ) die at Baby Beach more than any other beach in Aruba!

I was surprised by this. She told me that many Arubians wont go there. I asked her why so many drowings she said she did not know why but many times they find the dead with snorkel masks on!

PLEASE JUST BE AWARE AND CAREFUL

(more stories about drownings at Baby Beach at the link)

A Maryland woman has vanished in Aruba after taking a snorkeling trip with a friend, MyFoxDC reports.

The disappearance of Robyn Gardner, 35, last week comes six years after Alabama teen Natalee Holloway vanished from the same resort town.

Police are questioning the man Gardner was with on the island, Gary Giordano of Frederick, Md., who reportedly told investigators the pair took a snorkeling trip – and that Gardner never returned to shore.

I interviewed Robyn for a job in Frederick the day before she said she was going to the beach for the weekend with a girlfriend. She also said she was not dating anyone. No reason for her to tell me any of this. So what's really going on?

US woman missing in Aruba and travel partner held

BEN FOX | August 9, 2011 09:15 PM EST |

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A U.S. woman has disappeared while vacationing in Aruba, and authorities said Tuesday that police detained her travel partner because his statements about the incident had raised questions.

Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Maryland, vanished after snorkeling with her companion off the western tip of the Caribbean island Aug. 2, said Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office. She said police immediately launched an extensive search of the water and shore but turned up nothing and Gardner is still listed as missing.

As the official search ended Saturday, the man who accompanied Gardner to the island sought to fly back to the U.S. but he was detained at the airport.

"Statements made by the traveling companion led to such questions that on Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, it was decided to detain him for further questioning on the possible drowning of the woman," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Authorities referred to the man only by his initials, but his lawyer identified him as Gary V. Giordano, 50.

Island officials declined to say what precisely led them to stop Giordano or to provide many details about the case.

The newspaper Aruba Today said Giordano was detained because he bought a ticket to leave the island after earlier agreeing to stay and help the missing woman's mother search for her and to cooperate with the investigation into her disappearance.

I'm not surprised.  They don't want to alarm the tourists. 

If Beth hadn't gone to Aruba, they would have tried to keep Natalee's disappearance quiet as well.

Another US woman missing in Aruba
Aug 9, 2011 11:02 PM EST


ARUBA (WIAT) -- There's another missing person's mystery in Aruba as a woman disappears while vacationing.  Now, her travel companion is being held by police.

His attorney issued a statement to the Associated Press saying his client is being held unjustly in the disappearance of a 35-year-old woman.

Gary Giordano reportedly told Aruban police that Robyn Gardner disappeared while the two were snorkeling.  His attorneys said that Giordano was told he was not a suspect and didn't have to stay in Aruba; however, police detained him at the airport before he could board a flight.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A U.S. woman has disappeared while vacationing in Aruba, and authorities said Tuesday that police detained her travel partner because his statements about the incident had raised questions.

Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Maryland, vanished after snorkeling with her companion off the western tip of the Caribbean island Aug. 2, said Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office. She said police immediately launched an extensive search of the water and shore but turned up nothing and Gardner is still listed as missing.

As the official search ended Saturday, the man who accompanied Gardner to the island sought to fly back to the U.S. but he was detained at the airport.

"Statements made by the traveling companion led to such questions that on Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, it was decided to detain him for further questioning on the possible drowning of the woman," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

Authorities referred to the man only by his initials, but his lawyer identified him as Gary V. Giordano, 50.

Island officials declined to say what precisely led them to stop Giordano or to provide many details about the case.

The newspaper Aruba Today said Giordano was detained because he bought a ticket to leave the island after earlier agreeing to stay and help the missing woman's mother search for her and to cooperate with the investigation into her disappearance.

Aruba has experience dealing with missing person cases following the still unsolved disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway during a high school class trip to the island in 2005. Her remains were never found and the main suspect, Joran van der Sloot, is in jail in Peru on charges of killing a 21-year-old woman last May.

Giordano's Aruban lawyer, Michael Lopez, said his client was being unjustly held.

"Our client emphatically denies being involved in any malicious act concerning his friend and consequently does not consider himself a suspect," Lopez said in a written statement provided to The Associated Press.

The two Americans had been in Aruba a couple of days when they decided to go snorkeling in the area known as Baby Beach, Lopez said. He said the pair eventually realized they were being pulled out to sea by the current and Giordano tapped on Gardner's leg to signal that they should swim back. When he got to shore, he noticed she wasn't with him and ran to get help after looking for her unsuccessfully in the water, the lawyer said.

Lopez said that in the following days, Giordano assisted with the search and answered questions from police. He said his client waited until the woman's mother arrived before he decided he should return to the U.S. Giordano says he was given permission to leave by an official at the U.S. consulate on the nearby island of Curacao, the lawyer said.

The U.S. vice consul, Winnie Hofstetter, declined to comment on the case.

Lopez said that after being detained, Giordano initially declined to cooperate further with prosecutors and police because he felt he was being wrongly detained.

"As judicial representative of our client we can say that after reading and analyzing everything there is until now in his case file, there is no concrete or direct indication that our client might be involved in any illicit act concerning his friend," Lopez said.

NANCY GRACE

Another American Woman Disappears in Aruba

Aired August 9, 2011 - 20:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Bombshell tonight. Another American girl goes missing, Aruba. After Aruban police refuse to make a case against judge`s son Joran Van Der Sloot in the disappearance of Alabama girl Natalee Holloway, Maryland tourist Robyn Gardner disappears without a trace from the very same resort town as Natalee Holloway.

Tonight, where is American tourist Robyn Gardner?

 ::snipping2::


GRACE: Let`s go straight to Aruba. Joining us tonight, the CEO of "Aruba Herald." It is Mark Benson Denz. Thank you very much for being with us. What are you hearing from Aruban authorities about the missing American girl?

MARK BENSON DENZ, CEO, ARUBA HERALD (via telephone): Good evening, Nancy, and to your other guests. Well, we have spoken a few minutes ago with the prosecutors here in Aruba. And as you said, there`s not much new information that they are willing to disclose at this time. What we do know is that they have put together a special task force of the police headed by one of the chief of the policemen and are working day and night to find a solution to see exactly what has happened to Robyn.

 ::snipping2::

GRACE: Back to Mark Benson Denz joining us, the CEO from "The Aruba Herald." I`m just very curious if -- has any evidence seized? Do we know anything about what police are actually doing to find the girl? What -- are they searching right now? What are they doing to find Robyn?

DENZ: Correct. Well, immediately after Robyn was reported missing that Tuesday afternoon at around 6:00 o`clock, we know that the Dutch coast guard together with the local search and rescue organization and the local police, as well as on land and also in sea, started to search. But after about 11:00 o`clock at night, it was very dark, so it didn`t make any sense to really continue the search.

And the next morning at 6:00 o`clock, they continued to do the search. Even the minister of justice was present to make sure that everything possible was being done in order to search for this person that has been reported missing.

GRACE: Well, Mark -- Mark, are they still searching for her? Or have they called off the search?

DENZ: No, there are still search going on, specifically more from the water, on the water side.

 ::snipping2::

GRACE: That`s a good point, Michael. Back to Mark Benson Denz with "The Aruba Herald." Mark, again, thank you for joining us -- Mark joining us tonight from Aruba. Mark, have police been able to narrow down that they were, in fact, actually snorkeling? Have they been able to determine where they rented their snorkel gear from?

DENZ: OK, I have to explain something. They were seen, it has been confirmed -- there are people that have testified that they have seen these two people together at the Baby Beach. But Baby Beach is not the exact area. It`s close by. It`s about six to seven minutes walk from the area where they actually went to snorkel, which is behind 90 (ph) Nanki Concrete (ph) Country Club.

And it`s a bit of an abandoned place. There are a company that rents out gear for snorkeling and also diving. We have not received the information from the police if they have rented snorkeling gear because snorkeling gear is actually pretty easy to just buy at a store and just use. So we do not have that information.

But the Baby Beach, where a lot of people traffic with their children and go to the beach, is a very populated area, and there they have confirmed to see them together. But we did not receive information -- the police did not want to release information if they have seen them actually snorkeling at the 90 Nanki Concrete Beach Club area, where the mister (ph) who has been detained is saying that they were snorkeling.

Unfortunately, instead of staging the main events in the area of Boca Grande Beach and the escarpments of the Grapefields, or the area of Baby Beach, or in back of, or in front of the former Nanki Club of the old Lago/Esso refinery,  the choice was made to situate the venue in the San Nicholas Stadium.

Search continues for missing woman: Man held in Aruba in connection with disappearance

 ::snipping2::

Gary Giordano, 50, was arrested Friday at the airport as he was preparing to leave Aruba, said Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the Aruban prosecutor's office.

 ::snipping2::

Angela said Giordano, whose last known address is in Gaithersburg, appeared Monday before a judge, who ordered that he be held for eight more days. In Aruba, a judge must rule on the legality of a person's detention at set intervals, which can increase at different stages of detention, Angela said.

 ::snipping2::

Angela said authorities launched an extensive search after Gardner was reported missing, but that so far no clues as to her whereabouts have emerged. That search ended Saturday, but officials are still actively looking for Gardner, Angela said.

 ::snipping2::

According to Maryland Judiciary Case Search, a protective order was filed against Giordano in Montgomery County in February 2010. Giordano attempted unsuccessfully to have the order -- which expired in October 2010 -- rescinded.

A man who said Gardner had been staying almost exclusively at his Bethesda home since January -- although she maintains an address in downtown Frederick -- said he does not believe Gardner was snorkeling when she disappeared.

Interesting. I met Robyn on Match over a year ago. Met her once for a drink and stayed in touch. When I saw her right before she left for the 'beach' she told me she wasn't on online dating sites for quite awhile. So what's really going on?

I met Robyn and Gary on the beach in front of the Marriott Stellaris Hotel on Sunday, July 31. They had arrived on that day. My husband and I sat and spoke with them for awhile. They asked my husband and I about activities on the island.... Was shocked to see that this had happened, since we just spoke with them last Sunday, late afternoon. I am sure it was Robyn because I commented on her tatoo, indicating that I liked it. Didn't think they went together as a couple, as he was much older. She was also sitting kind of far away from him on the beach chair. She was nice. We were actually discussing the Natalee Holloway case. I will pray for her return.

Giordano, who is being held by Aruban police in connection with the disappearance, told police Gardner was washed out to sea when the pair went snorkeling.

Richard Forrester, Gardner's boyfriend for two years, says the story doesn’t make sense since Gardner wasn't inclined to swim.

"My gut feeling is that something bad has happened," said Forrester. "I don't think she was snorkeling or in the water at that time, six o'clock at night. She's a very beautiful, beautiful woman who was very concerned about her hair and makeup and I don't think she would have gone into the water to mess that up."

I interviewed Robyn for a job in Frederick the day before she said she was going to the beach for the weekend with a girlfriend. She also said she was not dating anyone. No reason for her to tell me any of this. So what's really going on?
38 minutes ago

 ::snipping2::


I think we grown ups all know what was going on!  I don't mean to pick on this woman but others should be wary of thinking they can just be "friends" with a man throwing money and trips at them! I do NOT know that this is what was going on but it looks like it could have been. You just can't go off with a man you don't really know and expect him to take it well when they don't want to be his girlfriend.  He probably wanted more from her.  After reading about Baby Beach I guess this could go either way.  He's just too hinky for me to let him off the hook yet.  All MOO!

FREDERICK, Md. — An American man detained in Aruba denies he had anything to do with the disappearance of a woman vacationing with him on the Caribbean island, his lawyer said Tuesday.

Attorney Michael Lopez said his client is being unjustly held in the disappearance of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner of Frederick, Md.

In Frederick, Gardner's boyfriend of two years, Richard Forester, said he just wants her back. The two fought but made up before she left for the trip, Forester claimed.

Lopez said in a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press that Gary V. Giordano has told Aruban police that the woman disappeared in strong ocean currents while they were snorkeling.

FREDERICK, MD - Richard Forester says there's nothing he wants more in the world than to have his beloved girlfriend of over two years, Robyn Gardner, back in his arms.

"I love her with all my heart and just want her back," said Forester.

The Frederick woman disappeared while taking a vacation to Aruba with Gary Giordano.

According to an Aruban newspaper, Giordano and Gardner had met on an online dating site.

When Giordano originally reported Gardner missing, he told police she had never made it back to shore after a snorkeling trip.

Search for Woman Missing in Aruba Echoes Natalee Holloway Case

The Aruba Herald reported that Giordano and Gardner met on an online dating website and had been seeing each other regularly for weeks.

Another man, Richard Forester, identified himself as Gardner's boyfriend. He told AP that he had thought the relationship between Giordano and Gardner was platonic. But Forester now has his doubts about what was going on. “I'm starting to believe there was some romantic thing,” Forester said. (via AP)

Hey monkeys. I just saw this thread this morning. I haven't even heard of this. I guess it just hit the news over the past couple of days? I started from the beginning but let me get this straight... Robyn has a bf, a steady boyfriend, but she's also on dating sites picking guys up? She had a job interview right before she left for Aruba with a guy she met some time ago on match.com, but lied to the guy that interviewed her by saying she was going away with girlfriends and also that she doesn't have a boyfriend. But Richard Forrester really wants her back home & they supposedly love each other? He loves her & wants her back even though she obviously lied about having a boyfriend & she was apparently cheating on him with Gary Giordano that she met on an online dating site? Sorry, chicks don't play different hands like this unless they're counting cards. Gary has a skeptical past but he could very well be telling the truth. It's so odd to me that Forrester wants her back even though she was in dating sites, lied about having a boyfriend, went to Aruba with a guy that used his points to get her there...who knows how long she's been sleeping with both...but Forrester is pointing the finger at Giordano? That area is bad for the current. That specific beach is close to the stream that could sink ships if people don't know what they're doing.

Maybe Giordano really does have something to do with Robyn's disappearance...but maybe, just maybe, the media is latching into the Natalee Holloway comparison to capitalize on her disappearance since it's slow Casey Anthony days. I mean, I sorta find it odd that they didn't cover the other drienings & disappearances from that beach area but since Robyn looks a little like Natalee they make a comparison to the crime?

Robyn Gardner's Boyfriend Says Disappearance Story Doesn't Add Up

 ::snipping2::

Forrester says in spite of their relationship, Gardner was less than truthful about Giordano.

"I didn't know who he was. I just knew that he was a friend," he says. "I was under the impression that he was a homosexual friend, and now I believe that's not true."

Hey monkeys. I just saw this thread this morning. I haven't even heard of this. I guess it just hit the news over the past couple of days? I started from the beginning but let me get this straight... Robyn has a bf, a steady boyfriend, but she's also on dating sites picking guys up? She had a job interview right before she left for Aruba with a guy she met some time ago on match.com, but lied to the guy that interviewed her by saying she was going away with girlfriends and also that she doesn't have a boyfriend. But Richard Forrester really wants her back home & they supposedly love each other? He loves her & wants her back even though she obviously lied about having a boyfriend & she was apparently cheating on him with Gary Giordano that she met on an online dating site? Sorry, chicks don't play different hands like this unless they're counting cards. Gary has a skeptical past but he could very well be telling the truth. It's so odd to me that Forrester wants her back even though she was in dating sites, lied about having a boyfriend, went to Aruba with a guy that used his points to get her there...who knows how long she's been sleeping with both...but Forrester is pointing the finger at Giordano? That area is bad for the current. That specific beach is close to the stream that could sink ships if people don't know what they're doing.

Maybe Giordano really does have something to do with Robyn's disappearance...but maybe, just maybe, the media is latching into the Natalee Holloway comparison to capitalize on her disappearance since it's slow Casey Anthony days. I mean, I sorta find it odd that they didn't cover the other drienings & disappearances from that beach area but since Robyn looks a little like Natalee they make a comparison to the crime?

Pretty much sums things up.  Add to it Arooba said nothing for over a week after they knew Robyn was missing, have called off the search now because there are no clues, and it would neve have hit the news had the BF not contacted Beth who is helping to get the story on the MSM.

Search for Woman Missing in Aruba Echoes Natalee Holloway Case

 ::snipping2::


The Aruba Herald reported that Giordano and Gardner met on an online dating website and had been seeing each other regularly for weeks.

Another man, Richard Forester, identified himself as Gardner's boyfriend. He told AP that he had thought the relationship between Giordano and Gardner was platonic. But Forester now has his doubts about what was going on. “I'm starting to believe there was some romantic thing,” Forester said. (via AP)

Revealed: 'Violent past' of man held over disappearance of American tourist in Aruba

The 50-year-old man arrested over the disappearance of an American tourist in Aruba has a criminal record and a history of domestic violence, it emerged today.

Gary Giordano was detained by police while trying to leave the island after Robyn Gardner went missing.

He was divorced from his ex-wife in 2008 'amid allegations of domestic violence' during which she obtained a restraining order, according to court reports.

At least one other woman sought a similar order against him, Gawker reported.

Giordano 'emphatically denies' any involvement in Ms Gardener's disappearance and has told police she vanished in strong currents while she was snorkelling.

But an Aruba prosecutor's office spokesamn said the waters at Baby Beach, where Giordano said the pair had been, were 'calm and gentle'.

More questions for US man in Aruba disappearance
BEN FOX, Associated Press
Updated 11:09 a.m., Wednesday, August 10, 2011


<snipped>

Gardner, a 5-foot-5-inch blonde with prominent tattoos on her arm, rib cage and right bicep, had worked in the past as a patient care coordinator at a dental office in Bethesda, Maryland, said Richard A. Forester, who said he was her boyfriend.

Forester said Gardner lived much of the time with him in Rockville, Maryland and had said that she and Giordano were platonic friends. The pair were scheduled to spend about five days in Aruba, Forester said.

"I'm starting to believe that's not true," Forester said in a phone interview. "I'm starting to believe there was some romantic thing."

Forester said he and Gardner had been in contact through Facebook until just before she disappeared. After she vanished, her Google Chat indicators showed she was active on Gmail, then on but not active, and finally off, he said. It seemed to indicate that she or someone else had been on her Gmail account, he said.

Forester, who has been Gardner's boyfriend for the last two and a half years, told ABCNews.com that she went to Aruba with Giordano without telling him.

"She told me she was going away on a family trip," Forester said.

The pair had been snorkeling off an area known as Baby Beach. Giordano says he noticed that they were being pulled out to sea by the current, so he tapped on Robyn's leg to let her know they should head back to shore.

But when Giordano arrived on land, he noticed that Robyn was no longer with him.

Yet Robyn's roommate, Christina Jones, says police told her that Giordano's clothes were dry by the time he reported her missing. Loved ones usually don't take time to change when their girlfriends may be drowning.

Police also say the waters off Baby Beach were "calm and gentle" that day.

Some reports indicate that Giordano and Robyn met on an internet dating site, even though Robyn was already dating someone else. They'd been dating for a few weeks when Giordano bought tickets for the pair to vacation in Aruba.

Robyn had recently been laid off from the dental clinic where she worked, so she decided to spend a little time abroad. But that didn't please her boyfriend, Richard Forester. He says they argued about the trip before she left.

I'm seeing different different statements - whether the media is misquoting, I don't know, but Forrester also elaborated after he made the statement regarding how he questioned that she would go snorkeling because she was concerned about hair and makeup, he added that she probably would have had a couple of drinks by then (meaning 6PM) and would be getting ready to go out for the night at that time - Trying to find that article now...

Giordano was divorced from his ex-wife in 2008 "amid allegations of domestic violence," during which she obtained a restraining order, according to court records. At least one other woman sought a similar order of protection against him. He also had several arrests on his record for thefts under $500. Giordano "emphatically denies" any wrongdoing, according to a statement issued by his lawyer.

First thing I noticed regarding the pics of this guy was the bathing suit looked dry, but I figured maybe it was a while before pic was taken, but now reports that it was dry when police saw him - Was he given a breathalyzer? - Was he drunk? - I've been traveling to Aruba for 15 years, Baby Beach does have a strong current once you go out a bit, but snorkeling at 6PM? anywhere really is not a good idea, especially since many people won't be there at that time (safety in numbers?) and snorkeling if you're drinking, really not a good idea , so I would be curious if he was intoxicated - also did he have snorkeling equipment on him? - did they take a cab to Baby Beach? arrange to have one pick them up at any time? - did they have a rental car? - how did they get there from Renaissance?  where were they just before?

Aruba Tourism Authority on the mysterious death of another American
By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY

 ::snipping2::

Does this give Aruba another tourist black eye? Many Americans were irate when U.S. teen Natalee Holloway disappeared on a school trip in May 2005 and then allegedly died after apparently going to a lonely beach with local Joran Van der Sloot and his friends after a night of clubbing. Some even boycotted the island, though it is known as being generally peaceful.

Robert Einhorn, a U.S. publicity representative for the Aruba Tourism Authority, said today that as Gardner's disappearance does not appear to be "a tourism situation, we are not commenting." He said North American visitation was up 1.48% last year from 2009, and that in July 2011, Aruba reported 50,558 U.S. visitors, up 6.5% since July 2010.

Creepy Travel Companion Held in Aruba Vanishing Case
Aug 10, 2011 3:46 AM


Gardner had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Richard Forester, before leaving with Giordano, but had been in contact with him via text and email until the day of her disappearance.

<snipped>

And Forester says she never would have gone on such an evening swim:

"I just don't think she was snorkeling...We went on vacations and I couldn't even get her to put her head under water in the pool. She was into makeup and hair, and knowing her she would have had a few cocktails already and would only be getting ready to go out that night."

Gardner's younger brother, Andrew Colson, said Giordano seemed too calm when his mother came to Aruba to help find her daughter.

"He didn't seem very sorrowful. He wasn't mournful or anything," Colson told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Odenton, Md.

Colson, who last saw his sister in May, said Aruban authorities asked them not to discuss the case in detail, but that they do not believe Giordano's account of what happened. He said she was unlikely to have been snorkeling in the first place.

"I think there's more to it," he said. "She just wouldn't want to ruin her makeup or get her hair wet."

Statement from the Aruban Prosecutor

Aruba Tourism Authority on the mysterious death of another American
August 10, 2011


<snipped>

An Aug. 9 Aruba prosecutor's statement was forwarded to USA TODAY. Here it is:

"On August 2, 2011 at about 6.23 PM (local time) 911 received notification of a possible drowning of a woman. The traveling companion of this woman, a man G.V.G. stated that they were going snorkeling behind Nanki Country Club and that at a given moment he had signaled his friend to swim back to the beach. He stated further that the woman had not reached the beach together with him and apparently had remained in the water.

The American woman in question is R.G, age 35, the man is indicated as G.V.G, age 50, also an American.

In spite of intense searches during a number of days by amongst others the surveillance department and the detective department of the Aruban Police, the Aruban Maritime Police, the Coast Guard, Search and Rescue Divers and volunteer divers of Jads and the use of two helicopters, an airplane and several boats, until now the woman has not been found in sea or on the shore.

The statements made by the traveling companion led to such questions that on Friday, August 5, 2011 it was decided to detain him for further questioning on the possible drowning of the woman."

Could it be that Robyn Gardner's mother put pressure on Aruba to detain Giordano rather than allowing him to return to the States?

Could it be that invaluabl  advice was afforded that implied there could possibly be issues related to jurisdiction/extradiction if further questioning was required if Giordano left the Island?

Missing in Aruba Suspect's Lawyer Says 'There's No Proof'
Aug. 10, 2011

Natalee Holloway's Mom Gets Involved

The Natalee Holloway Resource Center, a foundation started after Holloway's disappearance, has been offering help to Gardner's boyfriend, Richard Forester.

"It strikes a chord close to home because that's where my nightmare began, the day I got the call in 2005," Beth Holloway, mother of Natalee, told ABC News. "We want to be a first responder to these families, we want to be there to help them. "

<snipped>

Beth Holloway knows the dread Gardner's family must be feeling and had advice for them.

"I think about just the devastating, unimaginable nightmare ahead," Holloway said. "Being in a foreign destination is the most incomprehensible [situation], the language barriers, the foreign government. All of the documents are in Dutch, it's Dutch law, and there's not a homeland connection during the process."

Holloway encouraged the family to ask Aruba to involve the FBI, she said.

"There's a protocol you have to follow. The FBI doesn't have jurisdiction in foreign places, but the family can send a plea to the government to ask them to invite the FBI to be involved. It's one of the first steps I took early on, because it's comforting to have the victim's homeland law enforcement working on the case," Holloway said.

Holloway said she hopes that Gardner's family will keep up the search efforts for their daughter.

"I'd say continue the search, keep passing out fliers and passing information—tips, sources—onto the law enforcement officials there. I would encourage them to accept all media invitations. There are positive steps to finding the loved one," Holloway said.

Though her own daughter was not found and no one was ever found guilty of killing her, Holloway said she hopes for different outcomes for Gardner's case.

"I hope that she is found safe and sound and comes home, but if she isn't, I hope the perpetrator is brought to justice," she said.

That's what I find hard to believe.  Even though the beach area of Baby Beach is calm, once you go out a bit it is rough and has a strong current and 6pm is not a time to snorkel, not at this out of the way area, maybe in front of your beach hotel close to shore for a little while, but the sun is going down - Baby Beach is a daytime excursion - the times I've been there everyone is leaving at 5, 6pm -

Also, she posted to facebook at around 2am on 8/2 and he claims she went missing later after 6pm after snorkeling, so beside Giordano, when was the last time anyone saw or heard from her - Is he telling the truth or did something happen right after 2am, maybe after he saw her post to facebook, "This sucks"

Missing in Aruba Suspect's Lawyer Says 'There's No Proof

Aug. 10, 2011

The attorney for a man being held in Aruba for the disappearance at sea of Robyn Gardner claimed today that there is no evidence that his client committed murder.

 ::snipping2::

Maryland court documents show that a Gary Giordano there has a criminal record, including two orders of protection taken out by women that claimed he was violent. One was taken out by his ex-wife during their divorce procedings.

Two women who say they dated Giordano told "Good Morning America" he was terrifying, and another woman said Giordano stalked her.

"He was like following me, stalking me, and it freaked me out," said the woman, who wished to remain anonymous.


Beth Holloway knows the dread Gardner's family must be feeling and had advice for them.

"I think about just the devastating, unimaginable nightmare ahead," Holloway said. "Being in a foreign destination is the most incomprehensible [situation], the language barriers, the foreign government. All of the documents are in Dutch, it's Dutch law, and there's not a homeland connection during the process."

Holloway encouraged the family to ask Aruba to involve the FBI, she said.

"There's a protocol you have to follow. The FBI doesn't have jurisdiction in foreign places, but the family can send a plea to the government to ask them to invite the FBI to be involved. It's one of the first steps I took early on, because it's comforting to have the victim's homeland law enforcement working on the case," Holloway said.

Holloway said she hopes that Gardner's family will keep up the search efforts for their daughter.

"I'd say continue the search, keep passing out fliers and passing information—tips, sources—onto the law enforcement officials there. I would encourage them to accept all media invitations. There are positive steps to finding the loved one," Holloway said.

Though her own daughter was not found and no one was ever found guilty of killing her, Holloway said she hopes for different outcomes for Gardner's case.

"I hope that she is found safe and sound and comes home, but if she isn't, I hope the perpetrator is brought to justice," she said.

Beth Holloway told CBS News, "You are pretty much at the mercy of the foreign destination's law enforcement to decide when to give you the information, if to give you information. It's very frustrating. It's very frightening."


But more than a week after her disappearance, all the family can do is hope that Robyn Gardner doesn't become the next Natalee Holloway.


Natalee Holloway, from Alabama, disappeared during a high school class trip to the island in 2005. Her remains were never found, and the main person of interest in the case, Joran van der Sloot, is in prison in Peru on charges of killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores last May. Van der Sloot is a Dutch national who lived on Aruba at the time Natalee Holloway disappeared.

We have learned disturbing new details about Gary Giordano's past. He lives in Darnestown. His place was searched last year during an investigation of allegations of rape, assault and secret videotaping. The cases involved two other women that never went to trial.

At Gary Girodano's house, a security camera on the roof keeps watch and there's a warning at the door telling all visitors that they will be video and audio recorded at all times, while visiting the property.

Giordano's apparent interest in videotaping everything is at the root of an application for a search warrant by a special investigator for Montogomery County's State's attorney signed by a judge May 5, 2010
.

According to the application, the warrant was being sought in the wake of Giordano's arrest on April 22, 2010 after a woman accused him of hitting and choking her during consensual sex in the home.

In fact, investigators had a video of the entire attack. According to the application, the victim "was struck several times in the head, face buttocks and legs." She was also "digitally choked and subjected to manual strangulation during the event."

Possible, there are witnesses that saw them at Baby Beach; but I also remember reading that they'd gone there one day and were going to go back and snorkel another day.

Maybe that was him making sure they were seen in the area together?

Giordano was divorced from his ex-wife in 2008 "amid allegations of domestic violence," during which she obtained a restraining order, according to court records. At least one other woman sought a similar order of protection against him. He also had several arrests on his record for thefts under $500. Giordano "emphatically denies" any wrongdoing, according to a statement issued by his lawyer.


I knew about the domestic violence charges, but now theft - shady character -

Thanks festa

I hope Aruba learned a lesson in the Natalee Holloway case.  If Joran van der Sloot had been held accountable by the Aruban/Dutch justice system a young lady by the name of Stephany Flores would ... at this point in time ... be persuing her dreams.

It appears that the writing was on the wall in regards to what happened to Robyn Gardner.  Gary Giordano's history implies that women were at risk ... it was just a matter of time.

The prosecutor would not disclose the specific doubts, fearing it could undermine the investigation, but one of them is fairly basic: So far, there are no witnesses who saw the couple go snorkeling in the late afternoon on the wind-swept southern tip of Aruba. "We only have his story on that," Stein said.

Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith

: Last night’s meeting with the DEA agent would be the last time we would see him. I was told he was just on the island “on vacation,” but considering his line of work, I have to wonder about that. Even wonder if the name he gave us was really his. None of that matters. I’m just thankful he was here when he was to help us get the ball rolling by directing us to go to Carlos ‘n Charlie’s, and helping us with the encounter in the van der Sloot front yard. But now we’re alone, politically and law enforcement-wise. Even though we’ve met Homeland Security and DEA representatives, there‘s nothing they can do for us. There’s no U.S. consular office here. No State Department representative. No FBI agent. We’re on our own.

Why did it take almost a week for the disappearance of Robyn Gardner to come to the attention of the media? Why was Gary Giordano initially given permission to return to the States?

Could it be that Aruba was again attempting to sweep the disappearance of an American on the Happy Island under the proverbial rug?

ARUBA: THE TRAGIC UNTOLD STORY OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY AND CORRUPTION IN PARADISE
By Dave Holloway

It was June 1, 2005, our first evening in Aruba, my daughter was missing and a detective was telling us to go to a local bar and have a beer. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He said it was the hot spot for vacationing kids. "Maybe she will show up." In fact, he was so confident that she was just partying it up or on drugs that he told us this particular bar would be the best place to find her.

I've asked the same questions, and I also wonder if he knew her ex husband Kenneth Gardner.  Robyn and the ex husband have a court mediation and hearing set later this year.  The case was about modifying alimony, and settlement of the marital property.  The divorce was final in 2009, so this has been going on for a while.

And remember, she lost her job two weeks ago.

I think she actually lost her job two weeks before she went to Aruba, instead of "two weeks ago".  Since she's been missing over a week now, that would be three weeks ago.

Brother: Search still on for missing woman in Aruba
Claim contradicts boyfriend's statement that authorities have stopped looking for Frederick woman
by Jen Bondeson, Staff Writer 
This story was updated at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 10, 2011.

There are mixed reports as to whether Aruban authorities have called off the search for Robyn Gardner of Frederick, 35, who went missing eight days ago on the Caribbean island.

Richard Forester of Bethesda, Gardner's boyfriend, was told by Aruban authorities that the search was called off, he said today.

But Andrew Cohen, Gardner's brother, said today that he and his parents have been in contact with authorities and the search continues. Special Agent Richard Wolf, an FBI spokesman, said today he was not aware of the Aruban authorities calling off the search.

Gardner is a very warm, loving and caring person, Cohen said.

“My gut feeling is that she is still out there somewhere,” he said.

A spokesperson for the Aruban prosecutor's office did not return a phone call to confirm the status of the investigation Wednesday night.

Forester said that he may go to Aruba next week to look for Forester said that he may go to Aruba next week to look for Gardner if the search does not continue.

Wolf said that the FBI has been assisting the Aruban police force with the case.

The Aruban police force wrote the FBI a letter and asked for assistance. The FBI will not open its own investigation, but rather offer assistance, he said.

Wolf thinks all of the FBI's interviews will be with people in the United States, but was not sure and denied to give further details

Aruba prosecutor: Too many holes in US man's account of friend lost while snorkeling

 ::snipping2::

The prosecutor would not disclose the specific doubts, fearing it could undermine the investigation, but one of them is fairly basic: So far, there are no witnesses who saw the couple go snorkeling in the late afternoon on the wind-swept southern tip of Aruba. "We only have his story on that," Stein said.

 ::snipping2::

Stein said police have the woman's computer, which they are considering sending to the Netherlands for analysis, and the couple's rental car but no physical evidence of a crime. All they have is the fact that the woman is missing and nagging doubts about Giordano's explanation.

 ::snipping2::

The judge's pretrial detention order expires Monday. Prosecutors can ask for an extension but will have to present evidence to justify continuing to hold him, Stein said.

Gary Giordano of Gaithersburg, held in Aruba, was accused by two women of abuse
 ::snipping2::
In one case, a former girlfriend alleged that the man, Gary Giordano, stalked her, secretly videotaped them having sex and then posted pornographic images of her on the Internet, according to files in Montgomery County District Court. The woman sought and was granted a restraining order, court records show. No criminal charges were filed.

“She was scared to death of this man,” said the woman’s attorney, Gail Landau. “She thought he was capable of great anger and violence.”

 ::snipping2::

Giordano was not criminally charged in Montgomery County, and the allegations by two women were made in civil cases. In each case, Giordano filed allegations of his own, asserting that a former girlfriend harassed him by distributing slanderous letters and that his then-wife hit him in the upper back with a 14-inch steel cooking spoon.

The most recent allegation of abuse against Giordano was filed Feb. 4 last year. The woman had met Giordano on the Internet about six months earlier, said Landau, the attorney.

The relationship turned sour when the woman found out that Giordano had secretly filmed the two having sex and posted intimate images of her on the Internet, Landau said in court filings in connection with the woman’s request for a restraining order. The woman confronted Giordano, who responded by placing photos of her inside the mailboxes of about five of her neighbors, Landau said.

Yup, he's lying - again, my bet he did something to her late Monday night, Tuesday morning after 2am, waited till 6pm to notify police after he got rid of all the evidence.

Don't know how true it is, but they were supposedly seen in the JADS Dive Center on the day she disappeared.  On NG it was said that they had lunch at the restaurant connected to JADS.  The employees from JADS thought it was odd that they claimed to be snorkeling where Giardano claims they were.  They said it wasn't a place where people usually go for that.

Missing Woman Going Through Tough Time: Roommate
FBI picks up water search

Robyn Gardner, 35, had recently lost her job and was in a rocky relationship with her on-and-off boyfriend, Christina Jones. That’s why she went on vacation with another man, 50-year-old Gary Giordano, who Aruban authorities consider a suspect in the disappearance.

“She sat in this chair, I did her hair, she said she was going to Aruba,” Jones said. “I asked her with who, and she said Gary, and I wasn’t very excited about it.”

Jones said Gardner was supposed to go away with Giordano on a cruise about two months ago but changed her mind at the last minute.

“I’ll just say that the way that he dealt with it was not kind-hearted or understanding,” Jones said.

Another woman who dated Giordano, Jeanette Farago, said in an interview with The Washington Post that Giordano also stalked and harassed her while they both lived in Montgomery County. At one point, Farago said, Giordano offered to take her on a two-week cruise and bought her a ticket, but she refused to go. Giordano also showed up outside her window wearing a deer mask and illuminated his face with a cigarette lighter, she said. “He was just really creepy and scary,” Farago said. “He scared the bejesus out of me.”

The prosecutor would not disclose the specific doubts, fearing it could undermine the investigation, but one of them is fairly basic: So far, there are no witnesses who saw the couple go snorkeling in the late afternoon on the wind-swept southern tip of Aruba. "We only have his story on that," Stein said.

My bet is because it didn't happen.   ::MonkeyNoNo::


Yup, he's lying - again, my bet he did something to her late Monday night, Tuesday morning after 2am, waited till 6pm to notify police after he got rid of all the evidence.

Don't know how true it is, but they were supposedly seen in the JADS Dive Center on the day she disappeared.  On NG it was said that they had lunch at the restaurant connected to JADS.  The employees from JADS thought it was odd that they claimed to be snorkeling where Giardano claims they were.  They said it wasn't a place where people usually go for that.


Thanks for that info - with the multiple media there always seems to be mixed info - but my theory doesn't hold since she was seen that day at lunch -

It was also reported on NG that computers and/or smartphones were sent to Curacao for investigation.  They may eventually also be sent to the Netherlands.

Color me jaded...I don't care.  I have absolutely no confidence in the Aruban authorities; and feel the same way about the authorities in Curacao.  Remember Amy Bradley?  Remember James Edward Hogan?

Human trafficking is alive and well on these islands, and until Robyn is found that will be a strong possibility in my mind.  Remember Amy Bradley?  If Giordano was posting pornographic pictures of another girlfriend, he could have been doing the same with Robyn.  If he's into that kind of stuff who knows how far he would go.  He may have cooked the whole trip up to get her to a place where she could disappear and American law enforcement would be shut out as usual.  Everyone knows after Natalee's case that in Aruba WHEN THERE IS NO BODY, THERE IS NO CASE!

Curacao, Venezuela, and Colombia are all very close to Aruba, along with Margarita Island to name a few.  All possibilities of where she could be by now IF Giordano handed her off to someone.  She could have already have arrived on at least two of them before he ever reported her missing.

It seems like I remember posting at least one article where drugs were brought in by boat in that area.  I'll look for it.

The islands and the Netherlands work together with the US authorities when it comes to drugs, why do they shut out the U. S. law enforcement when our citizens go missing on these islands?  It's just not right!

‘Aruba is making more effort, but could improve’         

WEDNESDAY, 29 JUNE 2011 12:54

ORANJESTAD — From the report Trafficking in Persons (TIP) of the American government announced yesterday, it appears that Aruba is placed on list ‘TIER 2’. This means our country is not complying entirely with the guidelines of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA) although the necessary effort is made.
 ::snipping2::
In 2009, Aruba, Curaçao and St. Maarten were mentioned in that report as transit harbor and final destination of routes for human trafficking and slave running, namely on forced labor and prostitution. The report indicated the specific recommendation to improve the penalization of human trafficking and slave running. According to the report 2010, insufficient efforts were made.
 ::snipping2::
Aruba makes more effort
184 countries were evaluated this year on compliance of the guidelines against human trafficking. “The largest number ever included in the report,” says CdeBaca. Countries not complying with the rules run the risk of sanctions by the American government, for instance withdrawal of foreign aid. Compared to Curaçao for example, Aruba is making more effort. In the report, our neighboring island is included on the ‘TIER 2 watchlist’, meaning one has observed a ‘significant number’ or a ‘significant increase’ of the number of human trafficking and slave running victims on Curaçao. Moreover, according to the report, Curaçao was unable to prove the country is doing their utmost to combat human trafficking compared to last year or that the country has plans to take measures in following the guidelines next year.

Missing Woman Going Through Tough Time: Roommate
FBI picks up water search

Robyn Gardner, 35, had recently lost her job and was in a rocky relationship with her on-and-off boyfriend, Christina Jones. That’s why she went on vacation with another man, 50-year-old Gary Giordano, who Aruban authorities consider a suspect in the disappearance.

“She sat in this chair, I did her hair, she said she was going to Aruba,” Jones said. “I asked her with who, and she said Gary, and I wasn’t very excited about it.”

Jones said Gardner was supposed to go away with Giordano on a cruise about two months ago but changed her mind at the last minute.

“I’ll just say that the way that he dealt with it was not kind-hearted or understanding,” Jones said.

Robyn Gardner, Bethesda woman missing in Aruba
August 8, 2011 - 07:20 pm

The 35-year-old vivacious woman hasn’t been heard form in six days. She was last seen Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Gardner, who lived and worked in Bethesda, left for Aruba on July 31st. Richard Forester says they had been dating for two and a half years, but quarreled before she left. He received his last e-mail from Gardner Tuesday, three hours before she was reported missing.

“The last message I got from her was ‘I love you,’” Forester said. “We will talk and sort things out when I get back,” Gardner wrote.

Forester thought Gardner went with a friend, but now believes she had a romantic relationship with her companion. The man notified Aruban authorities Gardner was missing. He said a current pulled her out to sea while snorkeling, according to an account in a local newspaper.

“I just don't think she was snorkeling. I think something has happened at this person's hand,” Forester alleges.

The intense search for Gardner bears some similarities to the 2005 disappearance of teenager Natalee Holloway. She never made it back to her plane to leave after a vacation on the island, and her body was never found.

Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein said no witnesses have come forward to say they saw Gardner and Gary Giordano snorkeling off Baby Beach. Witnesses have said they saw the couple on the beach.

Authorities have impounded a rental car and electronic devices in Giordano's possession, Stein said.

It will be interesting to see what if anything was found in that rental car.  I'm also curious as to what time people saw them on the beach.  Were that many people just going in to snorkel at 6pm? or where they seen much earlier like after lunch

From what Robyn's friend and roommate said in the video I posted a link to, Gary was mad when Robyn didn't join him for the cruise, and that's why she was concerned and/or wondered why she was going with him to Aruba.  Maybe he'd been planning something bad happening all along?!

The friend said he was "eccentric"...she didn't get a good vibe about him.

She also said Robyn spent the night at her own apartment (that she shared with this female roommate) the night before she left for Aruba.  Before that she'd spent most of her time at her boyfriend's place.

I don't think they were specific about the time.  My thinking is he waited until a lot of the people had gone home from the beach areas (where they may have been seen) to SAY that's when they went.  From what her brother and her boyfriend have stated, I don't think she went snorkeling at all.  They did say that Gary had his own snorkeling equipment that he brought with him, but there has been no sign of any equipment that would have belonged to Robyn.

And they said they went to Baby Beach, but they did not go to snorkel. And so they returned the second day.

So it was as if Gary wanted to see the area first and then go into the water, as he says. But as you said, there are no persons that confirm seeing them in the water. There are persons confirming to seeing them on the beach, in the area, but not in the water.

Martin Savage (CNN) just said they would be going over the rental car, but he's not sure if they have the forensic capabilities they need there, so it may have to be sent to Curacao or the Netherlands.

Well, we know for certain he didn't know all he needed to about his 'exclusive' relationship with his girlfriend.  If her roommate is to be believed then Robyn spent the weekend before she left with the main boyfriend.  What made her leave him and go to Aruba with this looser?  Was he trowing a ton of money at her supposedly just to get her down there?  Did she have some life long burning desire to go to Aruba and need to go right then?  If he's only a 'friend' why not tell your bf where you are going?  Very strange relationship all the way around but in the big picture it doesn't really matter!  I feel he did something to her and hopefully the rental care will tell something or maybe the phones will have text of an argument on them or at least some kind of timeline for us to go on.  Her poor Mother.  Poor Beth, kinda living it all over again, how painful for her.

Jones says Gardner spent Saturday night at her house before jetting off the next day to Aruba with Giordano. Jones says Gardner and Giordano knew each other for about a year. She describes the 50-year-old man Gardner met online as eccentric.

“You kind of get a vibe from someone if they have someone good or not great in their life and I just didn't get that vibe,” she said.

Giordano offered to take Gardner on a cruise a couple of months ago, her friend said. When she declined, Giordano wasn't happy. "How he reacted about the cruise is the reason why I was worried about why she was going to be going to Aruba," Jones said.

Hmmm...let's see...online hook-ups...troubled relationship with boyfriend...Aruba, of all places...alone in Aruba with the hook-up...hook-up has anger management issues...hook-up likes to video sex acts...hookup likes to do the strangulation act during the sex acts...unrelaible police force in Aruba, that is well known...where better to take someone and have them disappear?

Prayers for Robyn's family.  I meant no hurt in what I said above, we just need to teach our daughters/sisters/girlfriends to be more cautious.  To be more aware of signals.  Lots of lessons to be learned here.

Mother hopes woman missing in Aruba will be found

DAVID DISHNEAU, Associated Press

Updated 08:16 a.m., Thursday, August 11, 2011


FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — The mother of a woman who disappeared during a trip to Aruba says the family is hoping for the best outcome and praying she'll be with them soon.

In a statement released by the Natalee Holloway Resource Center, Robyn Gardner's mother, Andrea Colson, also expressed gratitude to Aruban authorities and volunteers who are working above and beyond their expectations.

 ::snipping2::


The case is reminiscent of the still-unsolved disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway during a high school class trip to the island in 2005. Her remains were never found.

I'm not where I can look at what I have saved, but I believe that is her ex husband who she is scheduled for mediation and a court date later this year.  The divorce case was reopened in Feb of this year, to modify alimony and settlement of marital property.  I believe there were also some domestic violence issues with them.

PINSKY: ... How is your organization, the Natalee Holloway Resource Center, getting involved in this case?

BETH HOLLOWAY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY`S MOTHER: Well, first of all, Richard made the call to the Natalee Holloway Resource Center on August the 8th, which was a great move on his part. We were able to immediately pull together some photos that Richard had given us.

And the biggest asset of the Natalee Holloway Resource Center is that we provide is we send out the media release. And as we al know, media is essential in helping to solicit tips and eyewitnesses. So we got that ball rolling through Richard`s efforts.

PINSKY: And Beth, I must say, it has to bring up all of those old feelings, even just seeing what Richard is going through. Have you been in contact with her family?

HOLLOWAY: I have not been in contact with Robyn`s family. And Richard has been communicating with the staff at the Natalee Holloway Resource Center. So we have just been -- I have just been working with the staff there to coordinate.

PINSKY: Has her family been involved with this?

HOLLOWAY: Her family has -- they have not -- no one at the Natalee Holloway Resource Center has spoken to Robyn`s family. I believe the only two people they have spoken to are the cousin and Richard himself.

Now that we know he did indeed have a rental car, do we know if they have conducted searches on the east coast side of island. That's the area that has really rough water, there are also caves on this side.  Do we know if Giordano has been to Aruba before and may know some of these areas.

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA) -- Wednesday, Aruban authorities called off the search for 35-year-old Robyn Gardner. She disappeared while snorkeling, according to her traveling companion, Gary Giordano.

Robyn Gardner, 35, was reported missing in Aruba last week, say officials with the Natalee Holloway Resource Center. Gardner was last seen on Tuesday, August 2nd at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Thursday, Gardner's family released this statement:  ::snipping2::

We have learned disturbing new details about Gary Giordano's past. He lives in Darnestown. His place was searched last year during an investigation of allegations of rape, assault and secret videotaping. The cases involved two other women that never went to trial. ::snipping2::

"On August 2, 2011 at about 6.23 PM (local time) 911 received notification of a possible drowning of a woman. The traveling companion of this woman, a man G.V.G. stated that they were going snorkeling behind Nanki Country Club and that at a given moment he had signaled his friend to swim back to the beach. He stated further that the woman had not reached the beach together with him and apparently had remained in the water.
The American woman in question is R.G, age 35, the man is indicated as G.V.G, age 50, also an American.

In spite of intense searches during a number of days by amongst others the surveillance department and the detective department of the Aruban Police, the Aruban Maritime Police, the Coast Guard, Search and Rescue Divers and volunteer divers of Jads and the use of two helicopters, an airplane and several boats, until now the woman has not been found in sea or on the shore." ::snipping2::

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA) -- Wednesday, Aruban authorities called off the search for 35-year-old Robyn Gardner. She disappeared while snorkeling, according to her traveling companion, Gary Giordano.

Robyn Gardner, 35, was reported missing in Aruba last week, say officials with the Natalee Holloway Resource Center. Gardner was last seen on Tuesday, August 2nd at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Thursday, Gardner's family released this statement:  ::snipping2::

I posted this a few pages back:

At Gary Girodano's house, a security camera on the roof keeps watch and there's a warning at the door telling all visitors that they will be video and audio recorded at all times, while visiting the property.

Giordano's apparent interest in videotaping everything is at the root of an application for a search warrant by a special investigator for Montogomery County's State's attorney signed by a judge May 5, 2010.

According to the application, the warrant was being sought in the wake of Giordano's arrest on April 22, 2010 after a woman accused him of hitting and choking her during consensual sex in the home.

In fact, investigators had a video of the entire attack. According to the application, the victim "was struck several times in the head, face buttocks and legs." She was also "digitally choked and subjected to manual strangulation during the event."

"I'm terrified," Richard Forester said today on "Good Morning America." "I've been hearing stories about Gary Giordano, that he's quite tech-savvy and is able to manipulate people's computers and track them and follow them."
Gary Giordano, 50, is being held as a suspect in the disappearance of Forester's girlfriend, Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Md., who vanished in the same Aruba town where another American woman, Natalee Holloway, disappeared six years ago.
Giordano and Gardner traveled together to Aruba July 31, according to Aruba police.
Gardner's best friend, Christina Jones, told "GMA" the two met on the online dating site Match.com and have known each other for one year.
"It was a bit of a rollercoaster relationship friendship," Jones said.
Giordano has claimed that he and Gardner went snorkeling together around 6 p.m. on Aug. 2, but Giordano returned back to shore amid rough currents and realized Gardner had not returned to shore with him. He alerted Aruba police who searched the area with ships, helicopters and divers, but did not find any sign of Gardner.
"I don't believe she was snorkeling," Forester, also of Maryland, said today on "GMA." "I don't believe that for a second. She would be too concerned with getting her hair messed up, getting her makeup messed up. She's a margarita kind of girl, sit by the pool or on the beach and relax. I don't buy it."
Forester said that during Gardner's trip to Aruba, they kept in touch through Blackberry text messages and emails from her iPad until the day of her disappearance, including one message, in particular, that raised his alarm.
"On Tuesday morning, the 2nd of August, at about two in the morning, she posted on my Facebook wall, 'this sucks,'" he said. "I tried to figure out what was going on, but she didn't really respond. "
"The last time I heard from her was later on in the afternoon," he added. "She sent me a message saying, you know, 'I love you, we'll talk and sort things out when I get back.'"

Giordano was originally treated as a witness to a drowning and was told by police he was allowed to leave the island, according to Taco H.W. Stein, spokesperson for the Aruba prosecutor's office. However, when parts of Giordano's story did not add up, they decided to arrest him, Stein said. He was arrested Friday as he attempted to board a flight to the U.S., according to police.
Giordano's attorney in Aruba, Michael Lopez, said there is no evidence that supports a murder charge for his client.
"They suspect murder but there's no proof, to my knowledge," said Michael Lopez, Giordano's attorney in Aruba. "I don't see any proof. There's no proof and no motive."
Forester points to concerns, however, that activity in Gardner's Gmail email account in the days since her disappearance may point back to Giordano.
"On Gmail, on the chat function that shows if you're active or not, there's a green indicator light, orange if you're idle and gray if you're off," he said.

"All day Wednesday and Thursday of last week it [Gardner's account], was green, orange and gray, and this is after she'd been reported missing," he said. "So somebody was on her Gmail account, getting in there. I was trying to talk to her, but couldn't."
"He [Giordano] has a keystroke program, this is just what I'm told, and is able to hack into people's email accounts," Forester said on "GMA."

Maryland court documents show that a Gary Giordano there has a criminal record, including two orders of protection taken out by women that claimed he was violent. One was taken out by his ex-wife during their divorce proceedings.
Two women who say they dated Giordano told "Good Morning America" he was terrifying, and another woman said Giordano stalked her.
"He was like following me, stalking me, and it freaked me out," said the woman, who wished to remain anonymous.
While Forester has used the media to bring attention to the his girlfriend's disappearance, Gardner's family has remained quiet, relying largely on the Natalee Holloway Resource Center, a foundation started after Holloway's disappearance, for help.
That changed today when Gardner's mother, Andrea Colson, released her own statement explaining the family's silence.
"We are confident and very grateful to the Aruba authorities and volunteers who are working above and beyond all our expectations," the statement read in part. "I hope you understand that we are being quiet as not to jeopardize the investigation. Please continue to pray for Robin. Thank you."
The family also announced that a confidential tipline has been established through the Holloway Center.
"I hope that she is found safe and sound and comes home, but if she isn't, I hope the perpetrator is brought to justice," Beth Holloway, mother of Natalee, told ABC News. "I'd say continue the search, keep passing out fliers and passing information—tips, sources—onto the law enforcement officials there. I would encourage them to accept all media invitations. There are positive steps to finding the loved one."
Forester told "GMA" that he has no plans to travel to Aruba, as Holloway's family did, to search for Gardner, but has not ruled out the possibility.
"I haven't been very rational lately in my thought process," he said. "But, you know, it may get to a point where I feel I need to go there just to be closer and be more involved. It's not an impossibility."

I wonder if Giordano had gone into her account and saw some things he didn't like prior to her disappearance - maybe even before they left for this trip - She wasn't forthcoming with Forester about Giordano, so she probably wasn't telling Giordano the whole truth regarding her relationship with Forester, but unfortunately Giordano is a loose cannon -

In addition he probably manipulated emails after her disappearance

Aruba Requests FBI Help in Missing Woman Case


The country has drafted a request to the FBI to ask for their help investigating the case in the U.S., according to Taco Stein, spokesperson for the prosecutor's office. Stein said they are looking for help getting information from third parties, including cell phone companies.

"Anything you have to ask a third party about must be subpoenaed," Stein said. "So we needed to ask the FBI, because only they can subpoena in the U.S."

Aruba investigators are looking to establish the pair's whereabouts and activities in the days and hours leading up to Gardner's disappearance so that they can present it to a judge on Monday in order to keep Giordano in the country longer, Stein said. Giordano has not been charged with a crime, but a judge can order him held for another eight days on suspicion, Stein said. The court appearance will be closed to the public.

The Aruba police had been in contact with the FBI and American authorities since the beginning of the investigation, Stein said, though they had not formally requested their help until now.

"We know the spot where he said she must have drowned. We have searched there extensively and in view of the weather situation we are almost certain that the body would have come to the surface," Stein said.

He said it was also possible that Giordano had told police to search in the wrong spot.

He said there were no unusual currents on Aug. 2, when Gardner disappeared. "The water was very calm and clear ... The search took place all the way to Venezuela."



All the way to Venezuela? if I remember correctly that's about 17 miles

Aruba will be forthright in the Robyn Gardner investigation.  Justice stands a chance of prevailing for Robyn.  Mark Giordano is not the son of a Dutch elite.  He does not have knowlege of the dirty little secrets encompassing Aruba's underground economy.

Depite our personal pleas to authorities here and our broadcast appeals to Aruba to let the FBI lend a hand, and regardless of Aruba's public response that it would welcome FBI assistance, the island never let FBI agents in on the investigation.

Jones told the CBS "Early Show" that Giordano was a friend, not a boyfriend, of Gardner's and that the two had a "a bit of a roller-coaster" relationship. "Good one day, not so great the next," she said, adding she had only heard about Giordano through Gardner and never met the man herself.

Gardner, 35, disappeared Aug. 2 while traveling with fifty-year-old Gary Giordano, apparently her friend. Giordano said she disappeared while snorkeling, but not everyone buys this. Her roommate, Christina Jones, was suspicious of Giordano before the trip — she tells CBS, "I was not excited about her going away with Gary." She adds that Giordano had reacted oddly to a previous change of plans: "When she changed her mind, the way he responded set off a firework within my own self, so I got worried when she said she was going to leave to go to Aruba with Gary."

A woman who used to date him contacted me and told me Giordano is very technologically savvy. This woman said he'd get into a person's email account, pick up their personality and would then take on that persona.


Giordano is currently being detained for questioning in Aruba, and as it turns out, he has a history of abuse accusations. According to the Washington Post, one ex-girlfriend says he "stalked her, secretly videotaped them having sex and then posted pornographic images of her on the Internet." His ex-wife accused him of attacking their son. And then there's this story, eerily reminiscent of Jones's early misgivings about Giordano:

Another woman who dated Giordano, Jeanette Farago, said in an interview with The Washington Post that Giordano stalked and harassed her while they both lived in Montgomery County. At one point, Farago said, Giordano offered to take her on a two-week cruise and bought her a ticket, but she refused to go. Giordano also showed up outside her window wearing a deer mask and illuminated his face with a cigarette lighter, she said. "He was just really creepy and scary," Farago said. "He scared the bejesus out of me."

Did Mark Giordano read/hack into Robyn Gardner email within three hourse of reporting the snorkeling incidence?  Was Mark Giordano privy to email communication between Robyn Gardner and Richard Forester?  Did a jealous rage cause the demise Robyn Gardner?

Missing in Aruba Suspect's Lawyer Says 'There's No Proof'
The attorney for a man being held in Aruba for the disappearance at sea of Robyn Gardner claimed today that there is no evidence that his client committed murder.

 Gary Giordano, 50, is being held as a suspect in the disappearance of Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Md., who vanished in the same Aruba town where another American woman, Natalee Holloway, disappeared six years ago.

 Giordano and Gardner traveled together to Aruba July 31, according to Aruba police. ::snipping2::

Giordano has been in custody since Friday and investigators are interviewing him every day. His Aruban lawyer insists he is innocent and is being unjustly detained.
"What we have to go on at this point in time is the story of her companion who says they went into the water together and she didn't come out," Stein said. "We are more concentrating on what he is saying and how we can either corroborate or disprove his statement."
The judge's pretrial detention order expires Monday. Prosecutors can ask for an extension but will have to present evidence to justify continuing to hold him, Stein said.

Can anyone translate this? and there is a picture of the car at the above link, but I can't transfer it here - sorry

I was curious as to what vehicle they had, and now knowing it is a Rav4, he could have traveled on the other side of the island with little problem since he had 4 wheel drive capability and the roads (if you can call them that) are rough to travel on - which means he could have done something with her there

In an interview with Justice Minister Arthur Dowers, he said that information to the press will only be given by the district attorney, Mr. Taco Stijn, because the technical information issued has to be consistent. The minister said that no information on the content of the case will be issued to prevent disturbances in the investigation before it is concluded.

Minister Dowers said he had gone to the location where the lady disappeared at Nanki, San Nicolas during the massive, extensive search being conducted by police, maritime police, the coastguard and their partners, including the helicopter services. The search has not given any positive results; the minister said the press would be informed as soon as there is new information.

Aruba
US still drives business to Aruba after Holloway case closed
By Hazel Heyer | Jan 16, 2008


eTN caught up with Aruba’s minister of tourism and transportation, Edison Briesen, who said the island is back in business despite the revival of the Holloway incident, which has become fodder for the media.

eTN: Has this been a big challenge to tourism?

Briesen: Among all challenges we’ve faced, including airlift, US economy slowdown, gas prices etc, this particularly has taken up our time and resources. Everybody got involved in this case.  People from the tourism department have been moved to the justice department to help solve the disappearance.  This incident has kept us ‘hostage’ for more than a year. In 2006, we even launched an ad campaign worth $5 M in the US to counter the negative broadcast. On the other side of the coin, more people now know about Aruba. But I would not want Aruba to be known in the same way Iraq is known. One reason why we think it has been a hard blow to us.

Suspect Gary Giordano Sent Angry Texts to Robyn Gardner Before Disappearance


Gary Giordano had a history of sending aggressive, angry texts to missing Maryland womanRobyn Gardner, according to her best friend and roommate.

Christina Jones said Giordano, who is being held in an Aruba jail in connection with Gardner's disappearance, had previously asked Gardner to go on a cruise with him. When Gardner went away with Jones to New York instead, he flipped, Jones told ABC News.

"He was texting her while we were at breakfast, very angry at her because she decided she wasn't going to go on the cruise," Jones said. "And his responses by text, which I don't feel comfortable repeating, were aggressive, harmful, something that doesn't sit right within myself."

Gardner, 35, disappeared last week while on vacation with Giordano, whom she met on an online dating site over a year ago, according to Jones. Giordano told police the two were snorkeling together, but Gardner never returned to shore. He was arrested when police decided his story didn't add up, according to Aruba authorities.

Jones said that her friend was aware that Giordano, 50, had a history of domestic abuse allegations, and that they had a "rollercoaster friendship."

When Gardner told Jones she was going to Aruba with the volatile Giordano, Jones questioned her friend.

"When she came to me and said, 'Hey, I'm going to Aruba,' I said, 'Cool, I'm so happy, get out of town, why wouldn't you?'" Jones said. "And then she said she was going with Gary, it became a 'why? Why? Are you sure?'"

Aruban authorities expect to soon enlist the help of the FBI and other American agencies with the investigation of the disappearance of Robyn Gardner, a 35-year-old Frederick woman.

Solicitor General Taco Stein said investigators have contacted American authorities in an effort to get information about Gardner and Gary Giordano, the 50-year-old Gaithersburg man detained in connection with her disappearance. But he said he expects American authorities will soon be asked to become more intimately involved in the case.

"Officially, we have not yet made a move in that direction ... but that is coming," Stein said.

The FBI is helping Aruban authorities investigate the disappearance of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner of Maryland. The assistance includes conducting interviews and may soon include a search of her traveling partner's house in Gaithersburg.

In Gaithersburg Thursday afternoon, the FBI did not say whether it will be searching the home of Gary Giordano, her traveling partner, for possible clues about his relationship with Robyn Gardner. But Aruban prosecutors told CNN that they are requesting that the FBI help with the investigation, including searching Giordano's house in Maryland.


Aruban prosecutors say that Giordano is no longer cooperating with the investigation and is claiming his rights not to talk. They also say they will be releasing Giordano's picture to help generate tips from the public.

Gardner was reported missing in Aruba last week, say officials with the Natalee Holloway Resource Center. Gardner was last seen on Tuesday, August 2nd at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Again, with mixed media sources, info gets confused, but was she last seen at the Renaissance? what time, when would that be?  Supposedly she was seen at lunch at JADS dive...
Hopefully the FBI can and will search his house, computer/s in particular, at least to gain info to continue to hold him. If no evidence by Monday, they could let him go...

CORNELIUS, N.C. -- A man at the center of the investigation of a woman who disappeared while snorkeling in Aruba has ties to the Charlotte area.
Gary Giordano, 50, lived in a home on Peninsula Club Drive on Lake Norman in Cornelius for nearly two years in the mid 2000s.
Neighbors told Eyewitness News he married a local Realtor, Connie Klein, in the back yard of his home.
The pair eventually divorced and Giordano moved back to Maryland, where he apparently met Robyn Gardner, the woman he traveled to Aruba with last week and who has since vanished.
Residents near Giordano's former home describe the father of three as a "family man" and said they were surprised by the news.
"I saw his picture and didn't recognize him. I just didn't put two and two together," said neighbor Janet Smith.
Other neighbors, who asked not to be identified, described a different side of Gary Giordano, including a domestic violence incident at his home involving Klein.
Eyewitness News obtained a copy of the Cornelius police report detailing the incident in February 2007. It indicates Klein called 911 after Giordano became drunk and disruptive and threw some items inside their home.

Robyn Gardner's Boyfriend Reveals: ‘We’d Talked About Marriage And About The Future'
Posted on Aug 11, 2011 @ 06:00PM   
By Radar Staff

As concern for missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner escalates, her longtime boyfriend talked exclusively to RadarOnline.com about how they were ready to take their relationship to the next level.

"We’d talked about marriage and about the future," Richard Forester, who had been dating 35-year-old Gardner for 2 1/2 years told RadarOnline.com on Thursday in an exclusive interview.

"We were looking for a place together," explained Forester, adding that they already spent nearly every night side by side. "She had her own apartment in Frederick but she lived with me six days a week, and she had her cats here."

PHOTOS: Richard Forester And Robyn Gardner

Robyn, who's maiden name is Colson, was previously married to Kenneth Gardner in 1998, but the couple were divorced in 2009, according to Forester.

“She said she was going away on a family vacation, she was she was going to Orlando and then they surprised her and took her to Aruba,” Forester told RadarOnline.com. “I didn’t know she was going with Giordano. I don’t know if it was romantic, I pray that they were just friends."

Ironically, Forester and Gardner first met on same dating site that she became acquainted with Giordano on.

your rants are disparaging to an island that is nothing but welcoming to tourists. Tourism is their livelihood. These women went missing because they made stupid decisions. Period. Although the focus and purpose of this page is to make the public aware of Robyn's disappearance and to offer her loved ones support - IT IS MY OPINION that this page wouldn't be necessary had this woman made the intelligent decision to not travel abroad with a man that was pretty much a stranger. Can you contest that? No. I've said it many times on this page before. DO NOT blame Aruba for her disappearance. It has nothing to do with location but choice of company.

Just one example, and there are many, many more that contradict the statement "an island that is nothing but welcoming to tourists"

The FBI’s Washington Field Office has begun conducting interviews of people close to a Maryland woman who went missing in Aruba last week.

At the request of Aruban authorities, FBI agents are providing logistical help as authorities on the Caribbean island investigate Robyn Gardner’s disappearance and continue to question her travel companion, said Special Agent Richard Wolf, a spokesman for the field office.

“We’ve done a couple interviews, but I’m not going to get into details,” he said.

We had an opportunity to get the scoop from Jossy Mansur, the Managing Editor of Diario – Aruba with regards to the case of missing Robyn Gardner. Jossy took the time to share the following information that he learned after discussing the missing persons case with Aruba AG Taco Stein.

Quote
He explained that the American Tourist, Robeyn Gardner, disappeared between Baby Beach and Rodgers Beach, which is the part behind Nanki Club.

According to Stein, the detention of Gary Giordano ends Monday and after that he will have to present himself before the Judge of Instructions, where it will be determined whether he will have to stay 8 more days in preventive detention.
Stein could not give more details of the case so as not to obstruct the investigation going on, but until he spoke to the DIARIO he indicated that no new evidence has come forward. If and when that happens, it will be given out in a press release by the Prosecution.

Man held in Aruba was tied to stalking case



The woman claimed Giordano threatened her with violence, telling authorities he said he would "terminate me" and told her "the world would be better off without me, and he could help." She also said Giordano posted pictures of her and letters about her on neighbors’ mailboxes.

But Mary Sutton said residents of the neighborhood are well aware of the extensive system of video cameras around his home, which she said once led to the identification of some vandals who knocked over Giordano’s mailbox.

"My impression is, what’s he hiding?" she said. "I definitely have a concern, now that all this has come out, that he lives next to Thurgood Marshall Elementary School."


AND

The woman told authorities that Giordano frequently threw and broke objects, and once telling her "things were going to get rough" during an argument. She also claimed Giordano on several occasions threw their then-13-year-old son to the ground.

Sorry above quote is from his ex-wife, ALSO:

Gail Landau, the Rockville lawyer who represented the woman in the 2010 peace order, said she could not comment on the case after the FBI told her former client to stop allowing information to be released to the media.

Robyn Gardner Being Treated as 'a Mysterious Death'



"I know we don't have a body, so one can argue that she might still be alive," Taco Stein, an officer in the public prosecutor's office, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "But our position on that is, if that were still the case, she would have come forward and said, 'Here I am, nothing is wrong.' "

Giordano evolved from witness to suspect over the next few days as his story began to veer. "The main gist of the story remained the same," says Stein. "But in asking details, things began to get fishy."

Police arrested Giordano at the airport last Friday as he tried to leave the country, after being told he was not a suspect but should remain available for questioning, says Stein. He has since stopped cooperating, prompting Aruban authorities on Thursday to ask the FBI to help run down leads on Giordano's background in the U.S.

He is being held in a police cell until Monday, when authorities must go before a judge to offer progress in their investigation in order to hold him for another eight days of questioning.

Giordano has not been formally charged.




I hope this guy isn't let go.

Investigators have distributed photos of the couple and are hoping anyone who saw them will contact police.
Investigators particularly need details of how the couple behaved together on the island, and whether they seemed close or quarreled. "We have very little information about what they did on the island. The information we have doesn't give us insight into their relationship," Stein said.

Has anyone heard what the other woman look like that this man tried to get to go to Aruba?  I heard that he had tried to get other woman to go on a cruise to Aruba and they wouldn't go.

I was just thinking that if they all had blonde hair and had a similar look to Natalee and Robyn that maybe it has something more to do with a sex trade.  With Joran locked up they would need someone else to get woman. 

Just thinking out loud right now.

Hi TM and everyone.  Thanks to TM and everymonkey for gathering the news on Robyn for us. 

TM, You've been in my head again!  I was wondering if this guy has been to Aruba before, and if so, who he has associated with.  It's rather disturbing that he tried to get her on a cruise, and when that fell apart, he pulled this trip to Auba out of his shorts.

There are lots of other things to do.  Why did this guy just have to get her to the Caribbean?

Hopefully the FBI will search his home in Maryland and find out just what he's been up to.

Thanks again monkeys, and prayers for Robyn and her loved ones.

Aruba is a very small island, so it is not very hard to find your way around (unless you're trying to getting to Natural Pool) and since he had a Rav4 which I believe is 4 wheel drive, he would be able to navigate the unpaved roads on the other side of the island away from hotels - this part is fairly desolate, has a very rough rocky coastline - It is a pounding, crushing surf -

your rants are disparaging to an island that is nothing but welcoming to tourists. Tourism is their livelihood. These women went missing because they made stupid decisions. Period. Although the focus and purpose of this page is to make the public aware of Robyn's disappearance and to offer her loved ones support - IT IS MY OPINION that this page wouldn't be necessary had this woman made the intelligent decision to not travel abroad with a man that was pretty much a stranger. Can you contest that? No. I've said it many times on this page before. DO NOT blame Aruba for her disappearance. It has nothing to do with location but choice of company.

Aruba prosecutors believe missing American is dead; seek longer detention order for companion


After so many days, authorities no longer believe the 35-year-old Maryland woman could be alive, so they are holding Giordano on suspicion of involvement in her death. Her remains have not been recovered despite a search of more than four days in the sea and on the coastline in the area where she was reported missing.

"As long as we don't have a body, you can question whether or not she is dead," Stein told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "On the other hand, with all the publicity on the case, if she were still alive she would have made herself known."

Other factors also lead to the conclusion she is dead, Stein told reporters later. Police have recovered her passport from her belongings and don't believe she could have left the island by air with a false identity. They have also found no evidence that she left Aruba by boat.

Asked why there is no further search for her remains, the prosecutor said it would be difficult to search without knowing where to look, even on a relatively small island. Aruba is about 75 square miles (193 square kilometers), nearly the size of Baltimore, Maryland.

Under Aruban law, which is based on the Dutch legal system, the judge can extend the next detention order for a maximum of eight days at a hearing scheduled for Monday.

After that period, prosecutors could ask a judge to order Giordano held for as long as 60 days while they prepare a case, but that would require more substantial evidence. Charges would be filed at the end of the 60 days if prosecutors take the case to court.




Still curious if they've searched the other side of the island - IF he had never been here before and/or didn't know anyone on the island, I would think he would be limited as far as getting rid of evidence - bury it or in the water - Any canine searches?  Burying would mean tools and it doesn't seem as they've uncovered anything like that either physically (the actual tool or receipt) or witnesses to a purchase - The Renaissance has it's own private island, did they travel there?

Hi Helen Back!   :2waver:

I definitely agree with you, and I hope all of Giordano's contacts can be traced over the last year; especially the time he's known Robyn.  He was up to something all along imo.

This article was particularly disturbing to me.  If you haven't seen the video (at the link below...from GMA this morning), watch it.

From the video...They aren't quite sure how he made a living, he's alternatively described himself as a "recruiter" and a "producer".

Robyn Gardner Investigators Search for Evidence Against Giordano

By COLLEEN CURRY, MATT GUTMAN (@mattgutmanABC) , and KATIE KINDELAN
Aug. 12, 2011

 ::snipping2::

Giordano Stalked, Pressured Other Women to Go Away With Him

At least four women have said that Giordano was alarmingly aggresive toward them.

Carrie Emerson told ABC News that Giordano tried to contact her daughter, a model, claiming that he was a producer and wanted to take her to Aruba for a photo shoot. He became angry when she said refused his offer.

"He started telling me stuff like that he would protect her. He said, 'It's not going to be another Natalee Holloway or anything,'" Emerson said, referring to the Alabama high school student who disappeared on the island in 2005.

"He got very angry with me at that point. He started telling me that if I went and slept with him he would make sure I was taken care of well financially. He said that 'if you ever let your daughter sleep with me too, I'll take care of both of ya'll for the rest of your lives financially,'" said Emerson, who told her story to the FBI.

Another woman said Giordano pressured her to go on a cruise with him, and when she refused, he stalked her, showing up outside her window wearing a deer costume.

Aruba authorities are counting on the testimony of women from Giordano's past to help convince a judge to hold him in the country longer.

There are plenty of places to hide a body in Aruba, the locals know them well...a new tourist might not.  There are many caves, abandoned wells, smaller bodies of water, the sand dunes, etc.  If they were going to search with dogs, they should have already been doing it IMO...but I haven't read about any.  The winds there don't make it an easy task.

They were staying at the Marriott, not the Renaissance.  I read that the reports of them staying at the Renaissance is incorrect.  The private island is only for Renaissance guests from my understanding.

Photo shoot? What does he do for a living? I thought it had something to do with an employment agency.  Regardless, this guy just keeps getting sicker and sicker - And the fact that he suggested going to Aruba for a photo shoot makes me think he has been there before so he may know the island - There are caves on the other side and it is rural, lots of places to get rid of evidence, but I still think water is a better bet - If she was found in a cave or buried somewhere, that would mean it was deliberate, but if she's found in the water, he could keep claiming accident - Better chance to get away with it - I know they searched, but still with currents, sea life, etc.
It's also curious how soon he reported her missing - IF she was seen at lunch that day and he reported her missing at 6pm?

Regardless of how much publicity there is, if she is being held against her will (and more than likely drugged if this is the case) she wouldn't be able to "make herself known".  If she was handed off to others or taken, the Aruban authorities gave the culprits more than a week to either hide her well on the island or get her off the island, while they kept the disappearance hush hush and only searched where the "now" suspect said she was last seen.  She wouldn't need her passport, believe me.  Even Joran van der Sloot had two passports!  Good grief!

 :gaah:

And I guess now they are going to claim that they KNOW about every single boat that comes to shore and leaves Aruba...GMAFB.

 ::MonkeyRoll:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Unless they're assuming she's dead based on evidence they currently have, that we don't know about...it makes me mad for them to automatically assume that after a four day search of the water and coastline.  They obviously haven't searched anywhere else!  They've already said his story doesn't add up, but now they're going to believe she must be dead based what he's said?  They'd been in Aruba how long... about 48 hours...and she disappears?  After he'd been trying for how long to GET HER THERE?

Americans need to stay away from that island.  Period.

Thanks, I assumed they were mixing Marriott and Renaissance in reports since Marriott owns Renaissance, but I'm assuming they were staying at Marriott at Palm Beach which is a ways from Renaissance in Oranjestad and from Rogers Beach and does not have private island access.

Man not cooperating in Aruba investigation
Gaithersburg resident Giordano refuses to give DNA sample in disappearance of woman
by Jen Bondeson, Staff Writer

 ::snipping2::

The prosecutor's office has submitted a court order to get a sample of Giordano's DNA, Stein said.

 ::snipping2::

On Monday, the prosecutor's office released a photo of Giordano, hoping that anyone who saw him since he arrived on the island July 31 will contact the Aruban Police Force.

They hope to find out more about him, his contacts and the places he went with Gardner.

 ::snipping2::

Police searched from the coast of Aruba to the coast of Venezuela, which is about 15 miles away.

If police find new evidence, such as her snorkeling gear, they will intensify the search, he said.

 ::snipping2::

When a U.S. citizen is in custody abroad, consular officers visit them to check on their health and welfare, and work to ensure their fair treatment, according to a U.S. State Department official.

They provide information about the local legal system and attorneys, and facilitate communication with family and friends in the U.S., the official wrote in an email.

Giordano's lawyer, Michael Lopez, was appointed by the court, Stein said.

Giordano is not able to appoint his own lawyer, but he could suggest a lawyer he would like to use, and the court would take his choice into account, Stein said.

The courts in Aruba do not charge people who are accused of crimes before taking them to court, but rather the charging happens the moment they go to trial, he said.

If Giordano was taken to trial it would be before a judge, rather than a jury.

"As long as we don't have a body, you can question whether or not she is dead," Stein told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "On the other hand, with all the publicity on the case, if she were still alive she would have made herself known."

Other factors also lead to the conclusion she is dead, Stein told reporters later. Police have recovered her passport from her belongings and don't believe she could have left the island by air with a false identity. They have also found no evidence that she left Aruba by boat.

Asked why there is no further search for her remains, the prosecutor said it would be difficult to search without knowing where to look, even on a relatively small island. Aruba is about 75 square miles (193 square kilometers), nearly the size of Baltimore, Maryland.

I would think that many people would remember this woman, given the tattoos and assuming she was wearing a bathing suit or shorts or short dress most of the time since it's hot, I just back from there myself 8/4


Regardless of how much publicity there is, if she is being held against her will (and more than likely drugged if this is the case) she wouldn't be able to "make herself known".  If she was handed off to others or taken, the Aruban authorities gave the culprits more than a week to either hide her well on the island or get her off the island, while they kept the disappearance hush hush and only searched where the "now" suspect said she was last seen.  She wouldn't need her passport, believe me.  Even Joran van der Sloot had two passports!  Good grief!

 :gaah:

And I guess now they are going to claim that they KNOW about every single boat that comes to shore and leaves Aruba...GMAFB.

 ::MonkeyRoll:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Unless they're assuming she's dead based on evidence they currently have, that we don't know about...it makes me mad for them to automatically assume that after a four day search of the water and coastline.  They obviously haven't searched anywhere else!  They've already said his story doesn't add up, but now they're going to believe she must be dead based what he's said?  They'd been in Aruba how long... about 48 hours...and she disappears?  After he'd been trying for how long to GET HER THERE?

Americans need to stay away from that island.  Period. 

Although he definitely has proven to have quite the temper and could easily have done something to her, based on this report regarding the model/photo shoot, this is at least 1 other person (2 if you consider her mom also) that he was anxious to get to Aruba, which makes the human trafficking aspect seem a possibility - Where else does this guy travel to?  He used Marriott reward points for this trip, so he travel a bit.

 Robyn Gardner Was In Alimony Battle With Ex-Husband When She Went Missing In Aruba
Posted on Aug 12, 2011 @ 06:30PM
By Amber Goodhand - Radar Reporter

Robyn Gardner was in the middle of a bitter alimony battle with her ex-husband when she disappeared in Aruba, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Robyn married Kenneth Gardner in 1998. The two separated by 2007, and their divorced was finalized May 6, 2009.

As part of their separation settlement, Kenneth was ordered to pay Robyn $2,000 per month for 36 months, as well as two lump sum payments of $15,000 in October of 2009 and 2010.

EXCLUSIVE: Read The Legal Documents Here

In paperwork exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com from the Circuit Court for Frederick County in Maryland, Kenneth petitioned to modify the alimony earlier this year and Robyn opposed.

Prior to their split, the couple lived well in suburban Washington, D.C. They had an expensive house and drove a Mercedes Benz.   But their home had two mortgages and then Kenneth Gardner lost his job with a construction company.

PHOTOS: Richard Forester And Robyn Gardner

The court ordered his request for alimony modification to be head by a mediator, and a settlement conference is scheduled for October 7, 2011

Remember...a member of the Aruban police force was one of the men arrested in this case.  He was an off duty bouncer/bodyguard for The Foxy Lady club that is under investigation for Human trafficking.  At least two that were arrested (Alex Matthew and Michael Levenstone) are still in custody awaiting trial...a year later.  Also remember from the "Trafficking in Persons 2011" report that Aruba has NEVER successfully prosecuted a human trafficking case.

I'm not sure if it's the big house that sits off by itself...or one of the smaller ones that you can barely see in all the trees closer to the street.  The red marker indicates the drive to the big house...but looking at the maps/markers etc...maybe one of the smaller houses?...but then again he has almost 3 1/2 acres.

Here's a closer pic of the big house...

Thanks for the link to the GMA video and story, I hadn't seen it.

Oh my God!  This guy has tried to recruit girls specifically to Aruba.....The transit point for human trafficking.  It creeps me out how quickly you could get tossed in a boat and scooted over to Venezuela from Aruba......not to mention all the ships.  What a hell-hole!   

Now to find out how many times he has actually been there. 

I sure hope the FBI is giving his house the once-over.

I'm not buying this business stuff. I think it's a front for something more sinister...like porn. He's a sexual predator, has been caught filming partners unknowingly, uses social media to contact young attractive women, promises photo shoots, shop lifts, etc. He claims his business makes only 88,000/yr with 2 staff...bulldinky.

FBI Searching Giordano's Gaithersburg Home
Man believed connected to woman's disappearance.
By Doug Tallman 9:44pm 

FBI agents from Baltimore searched the home of Gary Giordano, the man held by Aruban law enforcement for the disappearance of Robyn Gardner.

Special Agent Richard Wolf said Friday night that agents arrived about 8:45 p.m. and were still conducting the search 45 minutes later.

"We're working with the Aruban authorities. We have enough probable cause to conduct a search warrant at the gentleman's residence," Wolf said.

At 10:30pm a county police car and five other unmarked cars were parked in the driveway of the home. Reporters had bright lights on the street and several people from the neighborhood were standing on the sidewalks to see what was going on.

snipped....

he $1 million home Giordano owns in Gaithersburg is also the address of the IT staffing company he owns that has a staff of two and a revenue of $88,000 per year, News4's Jackie Bensen reported. In 2003, Giordano was arrested for shoplifting armloads of electronics from discount stores and getting away in a silver Mercedes-Benz station wagon.

Thanks labubske!   ::MonkeyCool::

I'm not buying this business stuff. I think it's a front for something more sinister...like porn. He's a sexual predator, has been caught filming partners unknowingly, uses social media to contact young attractive women, promises photo shoots, shop lifts, etc. He claims his business makes only 88,000/yr with 2 staff...bulldinky. This guy is Casey Anthony's dream date....and a murdering sociopath. JMHO

Wouldn't surprise me at all.  He's a sicko! 

And Aruba and porn go hand in hand as well.

Man not cooperating in Aruba investigation

Gaithersburg resident Giordano refuses to give DNA sample in disappearance of woman


A Gaithersburg man arrested in connection with the disappearance of a Frederick woman in Aruba is no longer cooperating with police, Aruban officials said.

Gary Giordano, 50, of Gaithersburg was arrested Aug. 5 — three days after Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick was last seen — and is refusing to give a DNA sample to Aruban investigators or answer their questions, said Taco H.W. Stein, a spokesman for the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Aruba, who refers to the two by their initials, R.G. and G.V.G.

The prosecutor's office has submitted a court order to get a sample of Giordano's DNA, Stein said.

“In the U.S., you would say that the subject has pleaded the Fifth,” he said, referring to the man's right not to incriminate himself.

On Monday, the prosecutor's office released a photo of Giordano, hoping that anyone who saw him since he arrived on the island July 31 will contact the Aruban Police Force.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Police and firefighters have searched an abandoned phosphate mine in Aruba as investigators seek clues in the disappearance of an American tourist and evidence against the man who accompanied her to the Caribbean.

Journalists saw a firefighter leave the mine with a pink shirt and sandals, but it was unclear if they were connected to the investigation. Officials declined to say why the mine at the rocky, cactus-studded southern tip of the island was being searched and the effort was ended late Friday because of darkness. No body or other evidence was seen being taken from the small mine, which is within view of the sea.

Robin Arcuri
To the women in this world. I remain perplexed as to why anyone would go to Aruba after ONE woman disappears much less 4. The more attention Aruba gets, whether bad or good, just brings them business because people see the tranquil beaches and want to go. The fact that Robyn went there just shows that nobody thinks it will happen to them, it looks so safe, and that case after case is just a coincidence. Once we stop thinking this way, and accept reality, that Aruba is on the tier 2 list for human trafficking, women may decide to vaca somewhere safer. I really hope and pray that Robyn is found. ♥ to her family.

Authorities conduct massive search for body of missing American woman         

Friday, 12 August 2011 21:18
 
 
On Friday, members of a special division of the local Police Corps together with firefighters held a search for the body of an American woman who was reported missing on Aruba last week Tuesday in the area north of the Dog Cementery in Sero Colorado. Firefighters were lowered into different crevices that used to be covered; through the years they were either opened or their covers had been destroyed.

The search was stopped at sunset. Firefighters said water reached up to their knees inside the holes. No traces of a body nor any proof of the presence of a body were found. Authorities conducted the search with the intention of eliminating doubts related to the disappearance of Robyn Gardner, a 35-year-old American woman who was reported missing by her travel companion during a snorkeling trip last week.

It's not right to second guess, but... can't these searchers get a camera and tie it to a string and lower the camera down the mine shaft? I would think that would be safer and faster.

Robyn Gardner news: FBI searching Maryland home of Gary Giordano
August 13, 2011


Gaithersburg, Md. - On Friday, FBI agents searched the Gaithersburg, Md. home of Gary Giordano – the man who traveled with missing woman Robyn Gardner to Aruba.

Giordano, 50, is currently being held on the island nation by Aruban authorities in connection with Robyn's disappearance. He called police on Aug. 2 at about 6:30 p.m. to report that Robyn, 35, had vanished while the two were snorkeling off the western coast of Aruba at a location called Baby Beach. He was detained by authorities at the airport while trying to head back to the U.S.

Reports indicate Giordano has now stopped cooperating with police and has announced through his Aruban attorney he had nothing to do with Robyn's disappearance.

According to the Kensington Patch, Special Agent Richard Wolf said that FBI agents began searching Giordano's residence at about 8:45 p.m. and 45 minutes later were still engaged in the search.

“We're working with the Aruban authorities. We have enough probable cause to conduct a search warrant at the gentleman's residence,” he noted.

Goodmorning monkey's,

Thanks for all the links and information. 

Texasmom thanks for the jar-dropping excellent photos of his drop dead glorious house.  Was it built in 2004?

This guy reminds me of why we are told not to "talk to strangers".  It sounds corny, same holds true as an adult.

A stranger came to the door, I asked where is your car, she replied, she was "dropped off", I said, excuse me

and picked up my digitial camera,took a picture of her, her didn't have much to say  except "Ekk-what was that for"? 

I think I got rid of her for awhile. ::MonkeyEek::

TRAGEDY CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The Goal of Education

Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway


Page 189:    It's the proverbial, Biblical conflict between good and evil.  It's very, very hard to fight evil because it constantly changes form and you never know who your enemies are.  And evil is always two steps ahead. From the outset we never had a chance.  But we didn't know it.  I'm taking leave of the island, but not from the work yet to be done.

Page 208:  The goal of education is twofold: to bring a message about personal safety to high-school and college students and to educate travellers.

Page 209:  Bad things happen everywhere.  But the difference we need to consider when something bad happens outside the country is the help available for the victims and their families.  When we leave these borders, we leave behind all the privileges and rights we're all accustomed to and often take for granted.  We have expectations that there will be a safety net of law-abiding official, no matter where we travel, or that our US embassy will come to our rescue.  But that's terribly naive.


Making a Difference

Talking To Beth Holloway Five Years After Natalee's Disappearance
05/30/10 1:45 pm


She is now focused on her new life's work which was born out of the death of her daughter.

"Tragedy creates an opportunity to make a difference."

Beth tells the story of Natalee's disappearance to high school and college students round the nation as part of her work with the Natalee Holloway Resource Center,which launches in D.C. on June 8

"The Natalee Holloway Resource Center is focusing on education and crime prevention, and in the event that a loved one goes missing we have the resources and the contacts to assist the families."

Those sandals are similar to the kind Natalee was wearing

Klaas knows exactly what brand of sandals Natalee was wearing, but I have forgotten. ::ElfMonkey::

Rainbow Sandals  ::MonkeyCool::

It's crossed my mind that while LE is extensively searching for Robyn, they may turn up evidence of other victims or crimes...wouldn't it be ironic and a blessing to find not only Robyn, but Natalee and others that have gone missing in Aruba...something akin to finding those missing women on Long Island, while searching for Shannon Gilbert...

Considering there was only a three hour span of time between an email communication that Robyn had with Richard Forester and the time the Gary Giordano reported her missing ... it makes sense that the scene of the crime and the disposal of a body could have taken place close to Baby Beach.

While walking along the beach in the a secluded area ... could Robyn Gardner had shared with Gary Giordano that she was getting back together with Richard Forester ... a revelation that caused Gary to react with spontaneous uncontrolled rage.

Robyn Gardner, Bethesda woman missing in Aruba
August 8, 2011 - 07:20 pm


<snipped>
 
Gardner, who lived and worked in Bethesda, left for Aruba on July 31st. Richard Forester says they had been dating for two and a half years, but quarreled before she left. He received his last e-mail from Gardner Tuesday, three hours before she was reported missing.

“The last message I got from her was ‘I love you,’” Forester said. “We will talk and sort things out when I get back,” Gardner wrote.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Police and firefighters have searched an abandoned phosphate mine in Aruba as investigators seek clues in the disappearance of an American tourist and evidence against the man who accompanied her to the Caribbean.

Journalists saw a firefighter leave the mine with a pink shirt and sandals, but it was unclear if they were connected to the investigation. Officials declined to say why the mine at the rocky, cactus-studded southern tip of the island was being searched and the effort was ended late Friday because of darkness. No body or other evidence was seen being taken from the small mine, which is within view of the sea.

Md. man held in Aruba had troubled past with women

By ERIC TUCKER, Associated Press Writers – 1 hour ago 

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — The man Aruban authorities suspect was involved in the death of his travel companion while visiting the Dutch island courted other women with his blue-green eyes, tall physique and offers of cruises and vacations, and his $1.3 million stone mansion in this upper-class Washington suburb.

But Gary Giordano's ex-romantic interests say the allure was only surface-deep.
Giordano, 50, a self-employed businessman and twice-divorced father of three sons, has denied any wrongdoing through his attorney since the disappearance of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner, who authorities now believe is dead. Her remains have not been found, despite four days of searching the area where Giordano told officials an ocean current pulled her away as they snorkeled Aug. 2. FBI agents combed through his Gaithersburg home Friday night, while Aruban police officers and firefighters searched an abandoned phosphate mine for clues. Nobody was seen being taken from the mine.

 ::snipping2::

His family has stayed mum during the investigation, though a close friend said he can't imagine Giordano being involved in someone's death. Court records and former romantic interests reveal a man who could by turns be charming and threatening and who's had several volatile relationships.

"He can't control his anger," his first wife, Sharon Cohen, wrote in court papers in 2001.

 ::snipping2::

He also continued to live just blocks away from his ex-wife and children, in a contemporary home set apart from the neighborhood by a long, ascending driveway. A sign on the front door advises visitors they're under surveillance. A security camera is mounted atop a gable. Although his house suggests a man who values his privacy, Giordano is also gregarious and fun, said Eric Curtis, a friend who said he regularly hangs out with him in restaurants and bars. He said he's never even seen Giordano raise his voice.

 ::snipping2::

Jeanette Farago, a former neighbor, started dating Giordano around the time of his second divorce. She said Giordano was charismatic but could become angry and possessive, though she said she never felt physically threatened. Once, he wanted to take her on a cruise but became irate when she didn't want to go, she said, a situation Gardner also found herself in, according to a friend.

Farago said Giordano insisted on having her email password so he could ensure she was not seeing anyone else. If she said she was going to the grocery store, he would want photographic proof. Sometimes, she said, he would spy on her and text her details of her outfit so she knew he was watching. He even hid in the woods behind her home to watch her, dressing in a deer costume, she said.

"He's Mr. Perfect," she said, and then he's "totally different."

Here's a closer pic of the big house...

If that last article is correct, his house is the one down the long driveway...away from the other homes.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - The man Aruban authorities suspect was involved in the death of his travel companion while visiting the Dutch island courted other women with his blue-green eyes, tall physique and offers of cruises and vacations, and his $1.3 million stone mansion in this upper-class Washington suburb.

But Gary Giordano's ex-romantic interests say the allure was only surface-deep.

"He can't control his anger," his first wife, Sharon Cohen, wrote in court papers in 2001.

Giordano married Cohen in 1987, several years after earning a degree in computer science from the University of Maryland. The couple had three sons, but the relationship deteriorated until they finalized their divorce in 2003. At one point, each accused the other of abuse, with Giordano alleging that his wife struck him in the back with a steel cooking spoon during a heated argument.

She countered that he had a nasty temper, throwing phones, cursing and becoming violent with one of their sons.

Could it be that three hours prior to reporting her missing ... Gary read Robyn's email to Richard ... an email that implied she wanted a reconciliation with her former boyfriend?  Could it be an uncontrollable rage ... the same uncontrollable rage that Joran van der Sloot admittedly possesses ... resulted in the demise of Robyn.

Considering Robyn did travel to Aruba with Gary ... it can be assumed that something akin to Jeanette Farago she did not feel physically threatened until the perceived betrayal which was revealed in the email to Robyn's former boyfriend.

Van der Sloot Confesses
DUTCHMAN SAYS HE KILLED PERUVIAN WOMAN IN FIT OF RAGE
updated Jun 8, 2010 7:38 AM CDT


Peruvian police have obtained what Aruba couldn't: a murder confession from Joran Van der Sloot in the killing of a young woman. The Dutchman has admitted killing Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room, a Peruvian government official tells MSNBC. Van der Sloot says he broke her neck in a fit of rage when she used his laptop computer without permission  and discovered he was involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, according to reports in the Peruvian media.

"I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life," Van der Sloot is quoted as saying.

Shirt in Aruba mine not linked to US woman

Published August 13, 2011

| Associated Press

ORANJESTAD, Aruba –  An Aruban official says a shirt and sandals found during a search of the island did not belong to a missing Maryland woman.

Solicitor General Taco Stein tells The Associated Press that police conducted a careful analysis of the pink shirt and black sandals after the items were found during a search of an abandoned phosphate mine.

He said Saturday that authorities believe there is no reason to send the items to the Netherlands for further testing. The clothing was found during a search for the remains of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner in the southern Dutch Caribbean island.

When did Dilma Arends Geerman become an editor for the Associated Press?

Anyways ... if no body and no evidence is located but Mark Gio Giordano is charged under Dutch law with the the murder of Robyn Gardner ... inquiring minds are going to demand an explanation as to why Joran van der Sloot was given a pass.

1. Think about all Joran's lies encompassing the his contact with Natalee Holloway just prior to her disappearance.

2. Think about Joran's history in regards to sexual assault against women.

3. Think about the immediate discovery of Natalee's cell phone and passport.

4. Think about the precidence in Dutch law regarding charges without the location of a body.

The Robyn Gardner Case

Aruba officials search mine for missing American
DILMA ARENDS GEERMAN, Associated Press
Updated 01:08 a.m., Saturday, August 13, 2011


<snipped>

After so many days, authorities no longer believe the Maryland woman could be alive, so they are holding Giordano on suspicion of involvement in her death. Her remains have not been recovered despite a search of more than four days in the sea and on the coastline in the area where she was reported missing.

"As long as we don't have a body, you can question whether or not she is dead," Stein told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "On the other hand, with all the publicity on the case, if she were still alive she would have made herself known."

Other factors also lead to the conclusion she is dead, Stein told reporters. Police have recovered her passport from her belongings and don't believe she could have left the island by air with a false identity. They have also found no evidence that she left Aruba by boat.

GEROLD DOMPIG, DEPUTY POLICY CHIEF OF ARUBA:  No, not at all, because you have to keep an open mind, of course.  But don‘t forget that, if we look at the statements from especially Joran, I have received today an overview of all the several moments where he has basically lied.  And that‘s a lot.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba— Aruba has turned to the FBI for help investigating the disappearance of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner of Frederick, Md., an agency spokesman said Thursday.

Never Passed the Ball

Loving Natalee
A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway


Page 184: Then FBI agent Bill comes by and delivers the final blow. "The FBI has never received one single document from the Arubans. Not one tape. Nothing." he says sadly. Depite our personal pleas to authorities here and our broadcast appeals to Aruba to let the FBI lend a hand, and regardless of Aruba's public response that it would welcome FBI assistance, the island never let FBI agents in on the investigation. Never passed them the ball. Not even for one minute


No Invitation Extended

Kyle Kingman - In His Own Words


Kyle Kingman:  The Arubans told us there wasn't anything of interest in the trap based on the visual-only inspection (Dateline and Tim Miller present).
 
Kyle Kingman:  John definitely believed the Arubans at their every word

Kyle Kingman:  Aruban divers deemed the cage to be not case related, and therefore Aruba had no interest in it.  At that point, I made the statement to all on board that we do have an interest and that we would recover the cage ourselves.  That is when Mos said they would dive on it but it would take 1 -2 weeks for a forensics team to arrive and that he would let Persistence know.

Kyle Kingman:  The FBI said they needed an invitation. I brought it up to Mos and Richardson and they were talking as if it were a possibility along with a Dutch forensic team. Mos said it would take about 10-14 days to have a Dutch forensic team on site. Never heard another word about it.

Robyn Gardner search in Aruba shows no hope: 'If she were alive she would have made herself known'

BY MIKE JACCARINO   
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Saturday, August 13th 2011, 4:00 AM

 ::snipping2::

The pair arrived in Aruba July 31 and shared a room at a Marriott hotel. Investigators have video of them eating at a restaurant, not far from where he says she disappeared while snorkeling.

But no witnesses saw them go into the water and police have no knowledge of what else they did on the island, Stein said.

Under Aruban law, the judge can extend the next detention order for a maximum of eight days at a hearing scheduled for Monday.

After that, prosecutors could ask a judge to order Giordano held for as long as 60 days while they prepare a case, but that would require more substantial evidence. Charges would be filed at the end of the 60 days if prosecutors take the case to court.

Roommate of Missing Woman in Aruba Speaks Out

I wonder if Gary took Robyn to Aruba because he thought it would be easier to dispose of a body?  No body no case, etc etc.

I've wondered that too.  But unless you knew the island, or someone else who did...would it really be that much easier?  We all know how many bodies we've seen wash up on the beaches there...would he risk that by disposing of her in the sea?  She hasn't washed up, so did he just get lucky?  Unless he's been there before or knew someone that would help him, would he know about the caves, mines, or other possible places to dispose of her where she would go undetected?  Then again, I think about the guy they found in that cactus like forest a year or so ago...he'd been there a while and no one found him. 

I'd like to hear from a woman that has traveled with Gary before, we've only heard so far from ones that he wanted to take somewhere but didn't go.  I'd like to know what went on during those trips.  Was he taking beautiful women other places to be video taped in the hotel rooms?  Remember one said he wanted to take her daughter for a photo shoot in Aruba...  Wonder what kind of photo shoot that would have been?  I just can't help but think there was something else behind these trips, for him to be so angry when the women chose not to go with him.  Whatever was behind the other trips, more than likely is connected to Robyn's disappearance.  JMO

Hope that makes sense!

New Search American tourist

SATURDAY, 13 AUGUST 2011 2:14 p.m.

SAN NICOLAS - Police and fire yesterday abandoned mine holes Colony searched to find the body of Robyn Gardner (35) or clues surrounding her disappearance. According to the Public Prosecutor (OM) was found nothing of interest. The search is expected today and possibly tomorrow through.

by our reporter
Alex Lacle

Journalists on the spot yesterday afternoon saw the fire in the mine with a pink shirt and slippers. It is unclear whether this clothing has anything to do with research. Attorney General Taco Stein says that he has heard nothing about these clothes. "If it's important, then I have been told, I think." The mines are located on the north, less than one kilometer away from Baby Beach. Behind the nearby former Nanki Country Club, Gardner, at least according to her traveling partner, Gary Giordano, on August 2 disappeared while snorkeling.
 ::snipping2::

The search in the mine shafts is a logical continuation of the futile quest for sea and land in the first days after the disappearance. Stein hints that these days in several places here will be searched.

Meanwhile, the U.S. media that published the home of Gary Giordano (50) in Gaithersburg, Maryland was searched by the FBI. According to Advocate General Stein this story is not true. He has learned that the house of the accused "did the black press cars, but there was no police. Incidentally, he does not rule out that this search will take place in the future. But the legal request of the Aruban justice for search has not been sent, says Stein. "We did have some requests done, but I'm working this weekend to further requests."

Gary Giordano Being Questioned Allegedly Met Women On Match.com
2:54 PM, Aug 13, 2011 
Written by
Andrea McCarren

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- As Gaithersburg, Maryland resident Gary Giordano is being scrutinized by law enforcement in Aruba, other women have stepped forward to allege he has been violent with them and even, that he secretly videotaped their sexual encounters. Several say they met Giordano on the popular dating website, Match.com.

Match.com issued a statement to 9News, saying allegations like this between individuals who meet on Match.com "are extremely rare, but it doesn't make them any less horrifying." The online dating site also asks its members to report any suspicious or inappropriate behavior.

According to dating and relationship coach Michelle Jacoby, founder of www.DCMatchmaking.com, " In 2011, if you're not dating online, you're kind of a dating dinosaur."

 ::snipping2::

You can also check websites like www.BeenVerified.com to find out in advance if a potential date has a violent history or a criminal record.

Said Jacoby, "For a small fee of under $100, you can do unlimited searches for a year. And you don't need the consent of the person. You can really search anyone. You can find out a lot of information about that person."

Also recommended: setting up a free Google Voice account, providing a phone number that can be used just for dating.

"You can give that number out when you're dating, so that nobody knows your real cell phone number. If that person starts to be bothersome, you can just block their calls," said Jacoby.

She also recommends setting up an email account that isn't your name and doesn't include any personal information.

"Only when I began the evening with my mom went home, and I saw all the police cars." The search for Gardner was in full swing. "I heard the next day that a tourist had drowned, at least that was said." An intense search by coastguards, Warda Nos Costa, police helicopter, fire department and volunteers provided no body on . The active search was called off Saturday, Aug. 6, after her disappearance four days. Meanwhile, her companion tried Giordano on Friday before all of the island to leave. at Reina Beatrix airport, however, he was arrested by Aruban authorities. Jonathan finds it very strange that the body was not found. As prosecutor he also strongly doubt the story of the accused . He says he already has experienced a tourist in the sea at Baby Beach into difficulty or even drowned. The sea may be outside the sheltered lagoon which is very rough and there is often a strong current. "But the body always comes up again and rinse it." A few days after the disappearance, the police came along to Big Mama Grill. Visitors to this fact, besides eating and drinking, including beach chairs and snorkel gear will.

So does that mean that there is no Nanki Club any longer?  Or did the Nanki Club move to another location?

If it doesn't exist anymore, why did they not just say that the supposed snorkeling took place behind JADS Dive?

Aruba / Jads Dive Center & Beach Store
Overview

Location: JADS is located close to the South-Eastern most point of Aruba. Our store is right next to Baby Beach which is one of Aruba’s best snorkeling spots. If you are staying at one of the high-rise or low-rise resorts, you can reach our store by taking the highway towards San Nicolas. Once you reach San Nicolas, you can drive through town, till you reach the Valero gas station, located at the other side of San Nicolas. Follow the road that goes along the wall of the refinery. At the end of this road you will reach a Red Anchor that has been put up in commemoration of the owner of the famous Charlie’s Bar. At the anchor turn right, and keep following that road till you pass a small church. The road will go left or right; turn left, and you will see the old Esso Club, wherein we are situated.

So does that mean that there is no Nanki Club any longer?  Or did the Nanki Club move to another location?

If it doesn't exist anymore, why did they not just say that the supposed snorkeling took place behind JADS Dive?

Fear that there might not be "business as usual"
?

I believe first mentioned by the Aruban Herald.  Same as "a" Marriott hotel.

I remember during Natalee's case, the establishments were never named by the Arubans.  Carlos and Charlie's became "a nightclub"...etc...  Must be an ATA directive.

Don't know if this is interesting or not... it was to us. After the surprise of Coco being torn down we wen't over to the dive shop to the new little bar for a Balashi. While there 3 gentlemen walked to the bar speaking with a local and sat beside us. After the local guy left we got into a conversation like; is it your 1st trip to Aruba, like the weather and so on. They were 3 brothers that grew up in the 50's and 60' in the Exxon/Lago Oil Refinery community. Their Dad was an executive at the refinery. We were there talking for quite a while and the stories they told about the 'hey day' of the community were really something. I said to one of the brothers, "what a time that must have been." His reply was telling, he said, "It was better than that!" He said they did suffer some consequences of the Aruba life, some with skin cancer and liver problems. The drinking among [all of the] teens, American, Dutch etc. was bordering out of control and the parties., big and small were something they will never forget.

They were there organizing a reunion of the friends from that time. they have had a couple of reunions in past years and more than 400 attended. I would love to listen to the stories at that party!

According to MF at FOB the article states:  ( http://www.freedomofblog.com/forum29/3949.html )

Natalee's body is behind the Nanky Country Club.

Sorry, for the news.... but I had to reread it so I don't get false rumors started.

According to a Psychic that visits the island constantly, the body of Natalee is buried in the sand behind the Nanky Country Club.

A place located at the eastern tip of the island in San Nicolaas.

How it got there and who did that, the psychic did not say, but hopes that authorities would take a look at that info.

Glenda:   NOT A JOKE, but the Psychic told officials that Natalee was with Lorenzo, Pitbull and Scooby when she fell on the rocks and bonked her head. They boys buried her there.

Gary Giordano to face charges in Aruba over Maryland woman’s disappearance
By Dan Morse, Sunday, August 14, 5:59 PM

Aruban authorities said Sunday that they intend to pursue criminal charges against Gary Giordano, the Gaithersburg man whose female companion disappeared on the island this month.

Aruban Solicitor General Taco Stein called Giordano a “suspect in a suspicious death.” Giordano told officials that Robyn Gardner, 35, failed to return to the beach after the pair went snorkeling Aug. 2., but officials have questioned his account. Her body has not been found.

 ::snipping2::

Stein said prosecutors intend to criminally charge Giordano in connection with Gardner’s apparent death, but he did specify the charge.

 ::snipping2::

Stein said investigators had spoken to a witness who saw Giordano and Gardner at a restaurant at 4 p.m. on Aug. 2. Giordano reported Gardner missing at 6:23 p.m., Stein said.

 ::snipping2::

Detectives searched his home and found the shredder, one of the DVD players and six Game Boy systems they say he stole from a Target in Frederick.

I thought Giordano prohibited his lawyer from making any further statements, maybe I've got it confused?   ::MonkeyConfused::

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/maryland-man-to-face-charges-in-aruba-over-companions-disappearance/2011/08/14/gIQAjXakFJ_story.html

Quote
Giordano’s lawyer in Aruba, Michael Lopez, released a statement Sunday condemning the probe, saying that Giordano should be freed and allowed to return to the United States.

“We can state that no felony has been committed by him,” Lopez said. “Consideration must also be taken in the realm of human rights, which we feel are being abused in the area of his detention.”

Maybe Giordano is in the same facility with Alex Mathew?   ::MonkeyRoll::

Giordano already has a rap sheet with 4 thefts on it... so, now he is knicking X-Boxes from Target (6 systems total) all while living in his upscale home?

1. people are sometimes never as they appear
2. he's a loser
3. the deer outfit pic  is like the dumbest thing - i still can't get over it. you'd have to be brain damaged to send that to a woman.

He appears to me to be 50 trying to turn back the clock to 20 yrs old. I bet the FBI will find pallets of viagra in his closet.

Lawyer challenges Aruba officials in tourist case
Posted: 9:41 pm Sun, August 14, 2011
By Associated Press

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — A U.S. tourist detained in Aruba in the death of his travel companion has cooperated with investigators and should be immediately released because there is no evidence against him, his defense lawyer said Sunday.

 ::snipping2::

“To date, our client has given all possible cooperation to the investigation,” he said. “Where our client has been asked the same question more than once he referred to previous statements.”

::snipping2::

Lopez criticized the prosecutor’s office for releasing a photo of Giordano as they seek witnesses who may have seen the couple together on the island.

“We note that doing this without any kind of proof that the client has committed a crime will damage his good name and jeopardize his company in the States,” the lawyer said. “This can lead to substantial damages.”

Aruba has asked for help in its investigation from the FBI under a law enforcement cooperation treaty between the U.S. and the island. The FBI searched Giordano’s home in Maryland but has declined to discuss the case.

Given the presence of the treaty, and Giordano’s cooperation, his lawyer said he should be allowed to return home and could be extradited back to Aruba if he is later found to have committed any crime.

So what is different in Aruba this time when they are faced with a murder of an American tourist? We all remember the run around that the Aruba authorities gave Beth and Dave Holloway when Natalee was reported missing. When Natalee was reported missing, the powers that be told Natalee’s family that she probably ran off with some one and that she would return. Then two black security guards were arrested and falsely accused by the very people who were last seen with Natalee of involvement in her disappearance. Isn’t it interesting that Aruba authorities and Taco Stein were quick to accuse American Gary Giordano of inconsistencies and automatically presumed that Robyn Gardiner was no longer alive. Inconsistencies? Who told more lies to police than Joran Vander Sloot?

ORANJESTAD, Aruba - A lawyer is calling for the release of a U.S. tourist detained in Aruba in connection with the disappearance of his travel companion.

Robyn Gardner Suspect's Lawyer: Aruba Has No 'Hard Proof' Against Client
By Siobhan Morrissey and Tim Nudd
Monday August 15, 2011 08:10 AM EDT

An attorney for Gary V. Giordano pleaded for his client's release on Sunday, nearly two weeks after his travel companion, Robyn Gardner, went missing in Aruba.

Giordano, 50, claims Gardner, 35, never returned from a snorkeling trip they took together on Aug. 2. But authorities on the Caribbean island doubt his story and are treating Gardner's disappearance as a mysterious death.

They must decide Monday whether to detain Giordano for at least eight more days. But his lawyer, Michael Lopez, says that's not necessary.

Lawyer challenges Aruba officials in tourist case
The Associated Press
Date: Monday Aug. 15, 2011 9:21 AM ET


ORANJESTAD, Aruba — A U.S. tourist detained in Aruba in the death of his travel companion has cooperated with investigators and should be immediately released because there is no evidence against him, his defence lawyer said Sunday.

Michael Lopez, the Aruban lawyer for Gary Giordano, denied statements by prosecutors that his client is no longer answering questions about what happened to Robyn Gardner, his companion on a short trip to the Dutch Caribbean island.

"We cannot deduce that there is hard proof to sustain a demand by the public prosecutor against our client," Lopez said.

Giordano, a 50-year-old business owner from Gaithersburg, Maryland, has granted four interviews to investigators and accompanied them twice on visits to the area where he said Gardner disappeared while they went snorkeling, Lopez said in a written statement.

"To date, our client has given all possible cooperation to the investigation," he said. "Where our client has been asked the same question more than once he referred to previous statements."

Giordano is scheduled to appear before a judge Monday for a detention hearing. Aruban Solicitor General Taco Stein said Sunday that prosecutors intend to file a petition asking a judge to extend Giordano's detention for another eight days while authorities continue to investigate the case. Under the Aruban system, any charges would not be filed until later

WHO CAN WE TRUST?

Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway


Page 182:  Helen is very positive.  "It looks good that they will remain in custody" she says.  Then just three hours after she tells me this encouraging news, a devastating call comes from an AP reporter.  Paulus van der Sloot and his attorney are bragging to everyone that all three suspects are getting out day after tomorrow!.  Then all the media start calling.  I call Helen, then FBI agent Bill and the U.S. vice-consul.  None of them have this information. So we tell the media it must be a rumor.  But the word is out all over the island from the defense side that all three suspects will walk.  Four and a half hours after this announcement is made to international media by Joran's father and his defense team, the FBI calls to tell me that it is indeed true.  So the three suspects who were last seen with my daughter, and who offered multiple versions of what happened that night, will go free.   And we are the last ones to find out.

Page 185:  The island authorities originally planned to release the three suspects at two o-clock in the morning on Saturday, September 3.  The Strategic Communications Task Force undoubtedly helped them make a less conspicuous move and release them in the afternoon instead.  Curious to see the setup at the van der Sloot house for Joran's parade of victory, I drive by there, never in a million years expecting to see who is there.  It's the U.S. vice-consul.  At the van der Sloots' house.  Why is she here?   She spots me.  Jumps in her car and follows me to a resturant parking lot, waving, honking, calling on the cell phone.  I don't want to talk to her.  Who can we trust?

Page 184: Then FBI agent Bill comes by and delivers the final blow. "The FBI has never received one single document from the Arubans. Not one tape. Nothing." he says sadly. Depite our personal pleas to authorities here and our broadcast appeals to Aruba to let the FBI lend a hand, and regardless of Aruba's public response that it would welcome FBI assistance, the island never let FBI agents in on the investigation. Never passed them the ball. Not even for one minute.

The Goal of Education

Loving Natalee

By Beth Holloway


Page 189:    It's the proverbial, Biblical conflict between good and evil.  It's very, very hard to fight evil because it constantly changes form and you never know who your enemies are.  And evil is always two steps ahead. From the outset we never had a chance.  But we didn't know it.  I'm taking leave of the island, but not from the work yet to be done.

Page 208:  The goal of education is twofold: to bring a message about personal safety to high-school and college students and to educate travellers.

Page 209:  Bad things happen everywhere.  But the difference we need to consider when something bad happens outside the country is the help available for the victims and their families.  When we leave these borders, we leave behind all the privileges and rights we're all accustomed to and often take for granted.  We have expectations that there will be a safety net of law-abiding official, no matter where we travel, or that our US embassy will come to our rescue.  But that's terribly naive.

Sunday, 14 August 2011 20:13
 
Gary Giordano received an sms with the words “Take Me Out Of Here” from Robyn Gardner. He went online, googled for a destination, chose Aruba and booked their trip. It was odd that Robyn wanted to continue traveling, because she had just returned from a trip with her friends. She told her boyfriend she was going to Florida and instead came to Aruba with another man.

If all is well, Gary Giordano has to present in front of the Judge of Instruction on Monday. It is possible that Giordano will be released thereafter if there is not enough material evidence against him.

Familiar spotlight on Aruba after disappearance stirs up local frustration

Comments (196 comments)


The disappearance of Robyn Gardner has brought the international media back to Aruba, and Arubans aren’t happy about it. After the prolonged investigation without resolution in the Natalee Holloway case the summer of 2005, tourism took a hit. The locals are nervous and not keen to see us again.

There is no way to keep a low profile on an island when you’re CNN. A photograph of us reporting in front of the prosecutor’s office was on the front page of the island’s most popular paper, The Diario, the day after we landed.

Since then, other networks have followed us to Aruba. NBC’s satellite dish now sprouts from the hotel grounds. An unnamed television team was having lunch near the site where Gardner reportedly vanished while snorkeling. Once the manager of the restaurant knew they were members of the media, he threw them out, refusing their money for the meal they had already been served. It’s a very strong reaction for a place whose maroon and white license plates boast “One Happy Island.”

That’s an extreme example. I have been here many times, and always, unfortunately, for bad news. I was here for much of the Holloway frenzy, but even now, I find most here are extremely polite and friendly. However, if you ask them if they know anything about the current case and would they be willing to be interviewed, people grow silent. Twice my requests were met with the same response. One person said “here is someone who could talk" to me while writing down a name and phone number. Only it was the number for the island’s solicitor general, and I already had it.

As he's scheduled to appear in court today, more is being learned about the man who was the last to see Robyn Gardner alive.

Aruban authorities detained Gary Giordano, 50, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, last week in connection to Miss Gardner's disappearance.

On Monday, Carrie Emerson said it's her daughter's dream to be a model and actress, but when Mr Giordano called about a possible gig, she was suspicious.

Detention hearing under way in Aruba for man held in disappearance of Frederick woman
Originally published August 15, 2011, 4:26 PM - Updated 4:26 PM, August 15, 2011

   

A hearing continues at this hour to determine whether Gary Giordano of Gaithersburg will remain in Aruba for eight more days in connection with the disappearance of a Frederick woman, according to Aruban Solicitor General Taco Stein.

 ::snipping2::

Prosecutors asked that Giordano be held in Aruba for at least eight more days as they continue to investigate the case. If the judge goes against their request, then Giordano may leave the country immediately.

The judge has until 8:30 p.m. to make a decision, Stein said.

Stein said it was hard to say whether the judge would grant the order, but just asking for the extension shows that authorities believe the have sufficient ground to continue holding Giordano.

Two women were granted restraining orders against Giordano, and court documents obtained by ABC News show allegations of a violent assault by an ex-girlfriend.

"We argued about his past sexual lifestyle as a swinger. He started to choke me with both hands. He then shoved his fingers down my throat. I was struggling and gagging," the girlfriend testified in court documents.

"I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life," Van der Sloot is quoted as saying.

As he's scheduled to appear in court today, more is being learned about the man who was the last to see Robyn Gardner alive.

Aruban authorities detained Gary Giordano, 50, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, last week in connection to Miss Gardner's disappearance.

On Monday, Carrie Emerson said it's her daughter's dream to be a model and actress, but when Mr Giordano called about a possible gig, she was suspicious.

.remember years ago when a photographer, lured a girl up into the mountains for a 'photo shoot' and he raped and  murdered her? I can't remember her name..pretty girl with long blonde hair...he was caught and sent to prison..

That was this girl,  Linda Sobek. a photographer, Rathbun lured her up to the mountains in a Lexus claiming he was shooting photos of her for an Auto magazine, but the Auto magazine didn't use models, so it was all a hoax. He told police he accidentally ran her over and she died, so he panicked and buried her in a grave alongside the road, but later evidence showed that he had raped and sodomized her. Then the police found him connected to another murder of a girl in another state.

There was also not too long ago the model who was murdered and put inside of a suitcase and the police were able to trace her through her implants and got a conviction of the guy.

Aruba Orders Suspect Gary Giordano Held in Robyn Gardner Case
ORANJESTAD, Aruba Aug. 15, 2011


An Aruba judge ordered Gary Giordano, the sole suspect in the disappearance of Maryland woman Robyn Gardner to remain in Aruba for 16 more days.

Giordano is being held in the possible drowning of 35 year-old Gardner, who is now presumed dead. Giordano told police that he and Gardner were snorkeling together when Gardner was swept out to sea, but police arrested him following inconsistencies in his story, according to Aruba authorities.

Giordano left the hearing with a shirt over his head as he was put into a police van and driven back to prison.

<snipped>

Beth Holloway, the mother of Natalee, has offered help to the efforts to find Gardner through the foundation she started, the Natalee Holloway Resource Center, in Washington, D.C. The foundation has been working with Robert Forester, Gardner's live-in boyfriend in Maryland, along with the Gardner family to get the word out about the appearance.

I wonder if Gary took Robyn to Aruba because he thought it would be easier to dispose of a body?  No body no case, etc etc.

I've wondered that too.  But unless you knew the island, or someone else who did...would it really be that much easier?  We all know how many bodies we've seen wash up on the beaches there...would he risk that by disposing of her in the sea?  She hasn't washed up, so did he just get lucky?  Unless he's been there before or knew someone that would help him, would he know about the caves, mines, or other possible places to dispose of her where she would go undetected?  Then again, I think about the guy they found in that cactus like forest a year or so ago...he'd been there a while and no one found him. 

I'd like to hear from a woman that has traveled with Gary before, we've only heard so far from ones that he wanted to take somewhere but didn't go.  I'd like to know what went on during those trips.  Was he taking beautiful women other places to be video taped in the hotel rooms?  Remember one said he wanted to take her daughter for a photo shoot in Aruba...  Wonder what kind of photo shoot that would have been?  I just can't help but think there was something else behind these trips, for him to be so angry when the women chose not to go with him.  Whatever was behind the other trips, more than likely is connected to Robyn's disappearance.  JMO

Hope that makes sense! 




heres what i wonder    was it possible that gg gets paid for luring beautiful ladies there to traffic them and he can conviently claim they drowned while snorkaling.  plausable yes ? after all no body no case. And we know trfficing goes on there. jmo sl

Sandy,
that was my first thought too
I know in the Natalee case there was a sting operation going on and there was an Aruban trying to lure someone posing as a young girl to Aruba.

Robyn Gardner Suspect Detained in Aruba for 16 More Days
By Dahvi Shira and Siobhan Morrissey
Monday August 15, 2011 08:10 PM EDT

 ::snipping2::

While authorities continue to investigate his suspected involvement in the mysterious disappearance of travel partner Robyn Gardner, Giordano, 50, "will remain in custody for 16 more days," according to a statement released Monday by the Aruba Office of Public Prosecutor.

Giordano's lawyer, Michael Lopez, said the 16-day extension was granted because the judge felt, "there are too many open questions as of yet."

 ::snipping2::

With a striped shirt over his head, Giordano shambled from the police station in southern Aruba to an awaiting police van which was slated to take him to the KIA prison toward the southern tip of the island.

This particular prison was the same place Joran van der Sloot was held in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The prison overlooks Baby Beach, where Giordano says Gardner disappeared.

Aruba judge grants DNA request, orders Md. man held
Monday - 8/15/2011, 7:17pm  ET
Neal Augenstein, wtop.com

 ::snipping2::

Prosecutors "have not been required to pinpoint whether we will eventually charge murder or manslaughter, but that will come at a very much later date," Stein said in a telephone interview.

Without yet recovering a body, "kidnapping has crossed our mind as a working hypothesis, but there's no way we could corroborate that, so that working hypothesis has been dropped," he said.

Stein says prosecutors asked Giordano to voluntarily provide a DNA sample. But he acknowledges prosecutors have not found any clothing or articles belonging to Gardner directly related to the possible killing.

"It's needed for somewhere down the road, regardless of the charge," Stein said of the sample.

Stein said Giordano declined to provide the sample voluntarily. Prosecutors asked the judge to order the sample, and the request was granted.

Good evening everyone,

I was actually thinking the same thing today.  What if this case leads to info on Natalee.  I was also thinking that maybe that's why he does so much photo, videotaping, etc.  Is he previewing these girls to someone for approval?

I can't imagine that you could travel to Aruba or anywhere and "lose" a girl that many times and get away with it.  But you could make money being a scout and luring them.  And you might have to actually help deliver a girl if you owed someone.

Wonder if Gary knows Mr. Pink?

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Andrea Colson, mother of Robyn Gardner, made a statement this afternoon in reaction to the continued detainment of Gary Giordano, the suspect held in Aruba in connection to her daughter's disappearance:

"We are confident in the decision made by the Aruban authorities to keep Gary Giordano in custody, and we continue to be pleased with the way they have handled our daughter's case. We are still hoping to find out what has happened to our daughter, as we have not given up hope that she may still be alive. This has been such a hard time for all of Robyn's family and friends, and we are grateful for all the support that has come from communities around the world. We just want to find our daughter, and we continue to ask the public for any tips they may have in helping our Robyn come home."

At this time, the family is choosing not to speak with media, and appreciates that all media members continue to respect their privacy. Additionally, the Natalee Holloway Resource Center has set up a confidential tipline for any credible tips on Robyn's disappearance or current whereabouts. Anyone with any information can call 407-237-2295. All tips will be reported to the FBI for investigation.

Aruba judge grants DNA request, orders Md. man held

 ::snipping2::

The prosecutor's office said in a statement that Giordano is "suspected of involvement in the possible drowning" of Gardner, whose body has not been found.

Prosecutors "have not been required to pinpoint whether we will eventually charge murder or manslaughter, but that will come at a very much later date," Stein said in a telephone interview.

Without yet recovering a body, "kidnapping has crossed our mind as a working hypothesis, but there's no way we could corroborate that, so that working hypothesis has been dropped," he said.

Stein says prosecutors asked Giordano to voluntarily provide a DNA sample. But he acknowledges prosecutors have not found any clothing or articles belonging to Gardner directly related to the possible killing.

"It's needed for somewhere down the road, regardless of the charge," Stein said of the sample.

Stein said Giordano declined to provide the sample voluntarily. Prosecutors asked the judge to order the sample, and the request was granted.

I wonder if Gary took Robyn to Aruba because he thought it would be easier to dispose of a body?  No body no case, etc etc.

I've wondered that too.  But unless you knew the island, or someone else who did...would it really be that much easier?  We all know how many bodies we've seen wash up on the beaches there...would he risk that by disposing of her in the sea?  She hasn't washed up, so did he just get lucky?  Unless he's been there before or knew someone that would help him, would he know about the caves, mines, or other possible places to dispose of her where she would go undetected?  Then again, I think about the guy they found in that cactus like forest a year or so ago...he'd been there a while and no one found him. 

I'd like to hear from a woman that has traveled with Gary before, we've only heard so far from ones that he wanted to take somewhere but didn't go.  I'd like to know what went on during those trips.  Was he taking beautiful women other places to be video taped in the hotel rooms?  Remember one said he wanted to take her daughter for a photo shoot in Aruba...  Wonder what kind of photo shoot that would have been?  I just can't help but think there was something else behind these trips, for him to be so angry when the women chose not to go with him.  Whatever was behind the other trips, more than likely is connected to Robyn's disappearance.  JMO

Hope that makes sense! 


heres what i wonder    was it possible that gg gets paid for luring beautiful ladies there to traffic them and he can conviently claim they drowned while snorkaling.  plausable yes ? after all no body no case. And we know trfficing goes on there. jmo sl

In my opnion, yes it is possible.

As a child I played in some tunnels in “The Colony” it is where the large gate is in “Grape Field” in that general area. Did they ever search those tunnels? Though I heard that those holes in the ground were long covered over or filled. Just an idea that came up since the last lost person was in “Baby Beach” as is reported!

MD Man Stays Behind Bars In Woman's Disappearance
Monday, August 15, 2011


Prosecutors on the Caribbean island of Aruba say a judge has agreed to their request to continue holding an American tourist as a suspect in the death of a woman who was traveling with him.

The prosecutor's office says in a statement the judge accepted a petition to detain Gary V. Giordano for 16 more days.

Investigators say they need the additional time to investigate Giordano. Prosecutors have said he is a suspect in the death of travel companion Robyn Gardner.

The book retells events leading up to the night Natalee Holloway disappeared during a high school graduation trip to Aruba in 2005, and the ensuing investigation in the aftermath. It then focuses on the obstacles faced by the Holloway-Twitty family in their search for Natalee's whereabouts. Holloway recounts her anger at what she felt was a lack of cooperation from local authorities such as the Aruba Police Force, including the failure to obtain a warrant to search the home of suspect Joran van der Sloot.

Aruba Dive Shop Owner Was Last Person to See Robyn Gardner

The last person to see Robyn Gardner and Gary Giordano together was the owner of a dive shop on Aruba who noticed their car far out on a rocky point of the island which he thought was an unlikely place to be snorkeling.

Thanks for the updates, guys! 

Rum Reef owner says they didn't rent any snorkeling equipment, and I betcha there was none in the car or hotel room either. 

"Isolated" spot unlikely for snorkeling.

Aruban prosecutors still spinning the same old BS!  Will they ever learn?

They have found no evidence of a kidnapping, so they have dropped that working hypothesis.  However, they are comfortable going forward with a hypothesis of murder or manslaughter.   In the absence of evidence of a murder or manslaughter, I say all theories are on the table.  

I wonder if they have noticed that big blue thing with all the boats in it?

Last October, a new prosecutor came from the Netherlands who was said to be an expert in human trafficking.  Lars Stempher is his name, I posted some of what I could find about him then, at the links below.  I know he probably has his hands full with the Alex Mathew/Foxy Lady trial coming up, but I hope he is sharing his expertise as well with those working on Robyn's disappearance.

Boyfriend Of Woman Who Went Missing In Aruba Speaks

Filed under: Sad Sad

 ::snipping2::

For starters, he said something seemed off about the vacation from the beginning, because she claimed that her parents changed the destination for their family vacation from Orlando, FL to Aruba.

Then, he tried to contact her on Facebook, but the only correspondence he got from her was a Facebook wall post saying "This sucks."

More from Richard about it:

"I emailed her the rest of the day trying to get in touch with her. She sent me an inbox message on Facebook around 3 p.m. Tuesday, saying, 'Don't worry. I care about you I love you we'll talk and sort things out when I got back."

After that, Robyn's boyfriend never heard from her again. When he learned that she was on the island with Gary Giordano, he said he'd never met the man but had been told that he was her "gay friend."

Richard claims that someone was using her Gmail account after she was reported missing. He says he saw her online, but he would never get a response when he tried to message her.

He was then contacted by a woman who says she used to date Robyn's "gay friend." Here's what he had to say about their interaction:

"A woman who used to date him contacted me and told me Giordano is very technologically savvy. This woman said he'd get into a person's email account, pick up their personality and would then take on that persona."

Aside from the Gmail situation, Richard also says that Robyn would never have gone snorkeling, even though Giordano claims she went missing while snorkeling. Very suspicious.

Victim Assistance:  Multilateral Cooperation

Presenter
Jeannette Richardson-Baars MA, Deputy Commissioner (Ag) of Police, Aruba National Police,
Chair of the working group for countertrafficking activities & National Coordinator Anti-Human Trafficking & Smuggling

 ::snipping2::

• Aruba is a destination country for trafficking in persons

• Risk sectors are: prostitution and labor (service and construction industry)

• In 2007 an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary working group for counter-trafficking activities was installed

• Governmental and semi-governmental agencies tasked with anti-trafficking efforts are represented in the working group

• Partners in the working group are:
– Aruba Police Force (chair)
– Public Prosecutors Office
– Directorate of Alien Policy, Admission & Integration
– Directorate of Foreign Affairs
– Directorate of Labor & Research
– Directorate of Social Affairs
• Bureau for Victim Assistance
– Directorate of Public Health
– Directorate of National Security
– Coastguard Aruba & Netherlands Antilles

 ::snipping2::

• Results so far:

– the training of government officials in victim identification and victim assistance is ongoing

– a draft for a publicity and awareness campaign has been completed

– a telephone helpline has been established (+297)5923231 as well as an email adress LCMM@kparuba.com

– an outline for a study on human trafficking and the sex industry has been drafted

– an committee (police, prosecutor, labor, alien affairs) has been installed to review information on possible cases of human trafficking (case study)

– an investigative team has been assigned to handle cases of human trafficking

– a basic referral procedure for cases and / or victims of human trafficking has been established

• the Country Coordinator has to be informed immediately of any possible cases of human trafficking and will alert the review committee

• the Bureau for Victim Assistance will take care of shelter and support for the victims

• In 2009 a Memory of Understanding on trafficking in persons, human smuggling and illegal immigration was signed by the ministers of Justice of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba to ensure further cooperation and support between the partners in the Kingdom of the Netherlands

 ::snipping2::

What happened in 2010?

- one investigation into labor exploitation (HK Taylor)
* one victim, one suspect

- one investigation into sexual / labor exploitation (Strea)
* seven victims, four suspects
* forty-five possible victims

(I think this outlines the Alex Mathew/Foxy Lady case currently proceeding in Aruba...jmo)

at the end of 2009 two American females reported the loss of their passports

• they had been employed by Mister X as dancers in his club and he had taken their passports for safekeeping

• the police officer made a copy of their contract and contacted the National Coordinator who alerted the multi-disciplinary review committee

• a preliminary investigation led to sufficient indications of possible human trafficking and the case was handed to the Organized Crimes Unit for further investigation

• during the meeting of the National Coordinators a strategy for further cooperation was determined

• in the beginning of 2010 a Lithuanian female in Curacao made a complaint against Mister X, claiming to be a victim of human trafficking

• a male employee reported to have been forced into cooperation by the use of extreme violence

• in the summer of 2010 two Ukrainian females came to a police station and claimed to
have escaped from Mister X

• the investigation was intensified and preparations were made to arrest Mister X and his accomplices

• due to the risk for the victims it was decided they could not receive safe shelter on Aruba

• the Joint Investigations Teams NA&A provided the finances for transport to Curacao and later reinforced the investigative team

• the Victim Assistance Bureau Curacao provided shelter for the victims and made the necessary arrangements with IOM for return

• the National Police Service in the Netherlands provided for an expert investigator to join the team

• the National Prosecutors Office in the Netherlands provided for a specialized prosecutor

• during the raid at Mister X’s club two Brazilian females also claimed to be victims of
human trafficking and they were also transported to Curacao

• four arrests were made: Mister X, his girlfriend, his bodyguard and a police officer

• Mister X was transported to the prison in Bonaire

• the connection between Mister X and government employees is currently under investigation

• after the arrest two Russian females working in Spain contacted the investigative team to report that they were also Mister X’s victims

• more than seventy former employees have been identified of which forty-five possibly are victims of human trafficking

• the charges against Mister X will most likely include: human trafficking, being part of a criminal organization, money laundering and assault

Current status of the case:

- after his arrest Mister X was placed in preliminary detention and led before the investigative
judge

- the investigative judge ordered to interview several of the potential victims and witnesses
in this case

- as a result 10 more victims made an official compliant against Mister X for human trafficking

- Mister X made his first appearance before the court on the 17th of December 2010 and will do so again on the 1st of April 2011

- the case is expected to be brought before the court in the third or fourth trimester of 2011

- the nationalities of the known victims are: Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Brazilian, Russian, Hungarian, German, French and Scottish.

Partners in the STREA investigation are:

• The Aruba Police Force
• The Joint Investigations Teams NA&A
• The Prosecutors Office of Aruba and the Netherlands
• The National Coordinator of Aruba, Netherlands Antilles and the Netherlands
• The Victims Assistance Bureau Aruba and Curacao

Aruba – “Foxy Lady” Nightclub TIP Case; Alex Mathew Arrested

Alex Mathew and three others were arrested after Dutch authorities received a report
from the Ukraine about possible Trafficking in Persons violations at the Aruba “Foxy
Lady” Nightclub.
In 2005 the Dutch Government has been ordered to pay Alex Mathew
10,000 Euros in damages by the European Court for Human Rights, because of the
punishment he was given after he beat Ben Vocking, the warden of Aruba’s KIA prison,
in 2001. Because of his Aruban prison history, Mathew was moved a Bonaire detention
center. (Various media)

Aruba plans search for missing US woman's remains

(AP) – 3 hours ago 

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Aruban authorities announced plans Tuesday for an extensive search involving police, firefighters and possibly the military as investigators try to determine what happened to a missing American woman.

The search was expected to start later this week and would be centered around the southern part of the Dutch Caribbean island near where 35-year-old Robyn Gardner was reported missing by her travel companion, Solicitor General Taco Stein said.

"We are trying to put a substantial team together" to conduct the search, Stein told The Associated Press.

Police and firefighters searched an abandoned phosphate mine in the area but did not find any trace of Gardner.

The new search will involve many more people and will cover a larger area in the hunt for the woman's body or any evidence linked to her, Stein said.

Prosecutors Consider Manslaughter Charges in Aruba Disappearance

Aruba plans search for missing US woman's remains

By Jackie Bensen |  Tuesday, Aug 16, 2011  |  Updated 7:52 PM EDT

Prosecutors in Aruba are considering manslaughter charges against 50-year-old Gary Giordano, who is suspected in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner on Aug. 2.

 ::snipping2::

On Monday, a judge ruled that there is enough evidence to keep Giordano in custody for another 16 days. Prosecutors will have access to new evidence during that time, including the results of the FBI search of Giordano’s Gaithersburg home and interviews with women Giordano dated in the past.

 ::snipping2::

Aruban legal analyst Milko Baiz said the authorities have state-of-the-art forensic analysis.

“We have support of the criminal lab of the Netherlands in The Hague, and all material is sent there to be tested and to be checked,” he said.

Meanwhile, Aruban authorities are planning an extensive search for Gardner, using police, firefighters and possibly the military. They will be searching the southern part of the island near where Gardner was reported missing by Giordano, Stein said. The operation is still being organized and is not expected to start for several days.

Robyn has the look they like in those establishments, I've seen a lot of pictures of the girls they had in that one in particular.

I just hope they find her, so we'll KNOW if she's alive or dead.  I hope and pray another family doesn't have to live with the anguish of not knowing for years to come.

Nancy Grace saiys..

7 women have come forward so far with stories about their experience with Giordano.

Robyn was reportedly in a string bikini and Giordano in street clothes when they had lunch before Robyn was reported missing.  Authorities are now searching land areas for Robyn's bikini.

Aruban Prosecutor "Certain suspect has done something wrong, leading to Robyn's death."

Ex girlfriend says Giordano has a toupee or hairweave, never wanted to get it wet; no way he would go snorkeling.

Didn't some other woman say he got really upset one time when she accidentally brushed her hand against his hair?

I did hear they got his digital camera.  Bet the FBI has their hands on plenty too.

Awww now Cookie, they issue them a doobie, a cellphone (since Paulus kicked the bucket), and a candy bar when they check in at KIA!  They have to design their own weapon to protect their issued items in their spare time.  Heck they must have issued Alex Mathew a laptop since he's still posting on Facebook!

So, if I heard correctly on NG tonight, it was two hours from the time Robyn was last seen in the restaurant, until the time that Gary called 911.  I had heard previously that the Aruban police were suspicious that some time had passed after he came on shore without her, until the time he made the call. 


That's a very small amount of time to kill and effectively disappear a person, IMO.

Robyn Gardner, Bethesda woman missing in Aruba
August 8, 2011 - 07:20 pm


<snipped>
 
Gardner, who lived and worked in Bethesda, left for Aruba on July 31st. Richard Forester says they had been dating for two and a half years, but quarreled before she left. He received his last e-mail from Gardner Tuesday, three hours before she was reported missing.

“The last message I got from her was ‘I love you,’” Forester said. “We will talk and sort things out when I get back,” Gardner wrote.

Considering there was only a three hour span of time between an email communication that Robyn had with Richard Forester and the time the Gary Giordano reported her missing ... it makes sense that the scene of the crime and the disposal of a body could have taken place close to Baby Beach.

While walking along the beach in the a secluded area ... could Robyn Gardner had shared with Gary Giordano that she was getting back together with Richard Forester ... a revelation that caused Gary to react with spontaneous uncontrolled rage.

Aruba Suspect Gary Giordano in Court Today in Robyn Gardner Disappearance
ORANJESTAD, Aruba Aug. 15, 2011

Two women were granted restraining orders against Giordano, and court documents obtained by ABC News show allegations of a violent assault by an ex-girlfriend.

"We argued about his past sexual lifestyle as a swinger. He started to choke me with both hands. He then shoved his fingers down my throat. I was struggling and gagging," the girlfriend testified in court documents.

Peruvian police have obtained what Aruba couldn't: a murder confession from Joran Van der Sloot in the killing of a young woman. The Dutchman has admitted killing Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room, a Peruvian government official tells MSNBC. Van der Sloot says he broke her neck in a fit of rage when she used his laptop computer without permission and discovered he was involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, according to reports in the Peruvian media.

"I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life," Van der Sloot is quoted as saying.

Missing in Aruba: Suspect Took Out $1.5 Million Insurance


Authorities in Aruba are investigating an insurance policy taken out by Gary Giordano before his trip to Aruba as a possible motive in the disappearance of missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner.

The investigation into the $1.5 million accidental death policy on Gardner -- which names Giordano as a beneficiary -- has been confirmed exclusively with ABC News by a police source in Aruba, as has the fact that he purchased the pricier one-year policy over the cheaper, more commonly purchased five-year policy.

it should not be allowed for just anyone to take out an insurance policy on someone else unless they have a connection with said person..such as marriage, family member, etc...

Authorities in Aruba are investigating an insurance policy taken out by Gary Giordano before his trip to Aruba as a possible motive in the disappearance of missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner.

The investigation into the $1.5 million accidental death policy on Gardner -- which names Giordano as a beneficiary -- has been confirmed exclusively with ABC News by a police source in Aruba, as has the fact that he purchased the pricier one-year policy over the cheaper, more commonly purchased five-year policy.
 ::snipping2::


it should not be allowed for just anyone to take out an insurance policy on someone else unless they have a connection with said person..such as marriage, family member, etc...
this is just sickening that he planned this whole thing!

You are so right, Cookie.  I have no experience with travel insurance, but I did spend years working for a top life insurance company.  In the real world of life insurance, where an underwriting process takes place, no such policy would ever be issued.  What would be the basis for the loss to Giordano in the event of Robyn's untimely death?  A person with no relationship could never be named a beneficiary. 

Even if this policy was purchased, I cannot believe it would have paid out. 

The merry-go-round of Aruban investigation always comes around to "people are missing because of an insurance scam", so pardon me while I wait for a little more confirmation.

Prayers for Robyn and her loved ones.  I have more hope than usual, since the FBI is involved.   

Good morning monkeys. ::HelloKitty::

You would think that the person who the policy is taken out on would have to be present and sign this policy.  I cannot believe this guy actually thought that he would get away with this.  The insurance company may have let him have the policy but I don't think they just hand over 1.5 million dollars without an investigation. 
So disgusting.  This poor woman and her family. 
And he didn't get rid of her in the USA, he took her to Aruba - I wonder what was on his computer, ie. Natalee Holloway disappearance, areas in Aruba, maps, What did he arrange for beforehand? besides the insurance policy - Did he access a boat, or pay some people off?

Hey Klaas & mods!  ::MonkeyWink::   Could Robyn get her own forum please? I'm just asking bc there's alot of people, documents, social media, etc that's involved in this case & it could all be broken down if Robyn had a forum dedicated to her case. I'm coming across some pretty interesting comments made by people regarding SEVERAL acquaintances surrounding Robyn.

Hey guys.  There are lots of translators.  I use google a lot.  However, this language of Aruba, Papiamento (sp) is not easily translated.  In fact, sometimes it seems more screwed up after translation.

Maybe Texasmom will swing by and help out.  She's been doing this so long in the Natalee thread, I think she sort of understands this stuff.

There are a couple of others who can help, I'm just not one of them!

Translating this material is hard, since there aren't many Papiamento translators online that REALLY work.

Since their language is derived from Spanish, Portuguese, and some other, translators only translate the words they recognize.

Since I know Spanish and Portuguese, I can make sense out of what the newspaper articles say, but cannot translate word for word.

Anyway, how did he get the insurance policy without the policy holder being present?

Maybe he told the insurance salesman that she was his common-law wife, or live in girlfriend.

I agree, the insurance agency could not hand over the $1.5 mills without a proper investigation, and I cannot believe he thought he could get away with it.

I'm sure he was thinking that, like Natalee's body, her body would not be recovered, thus not showing that he murdered her.

From that article, it said that blood was found on a rock by the beach. Was there mention of a condom? Or is that one of my bad translations?

Travel insurance with Robyn's mother as the beneficiary was reported early on.

When I find articles written in Spanish (for Peru--covering news about Joran) or in Dutch, I use the Google Translate site -- http://translate.google.com/#  .  It gives a fairly good translation.  Just copy the text from the original article and paste it into the translator area of the site.  Texasmom is very good with translating articles/information from Aruba.

Okay, if the policy is not life insurance but travel insurance, then it looks better for him.

Though, he kept inviting women to Aruba, so I wonder if he had planned accidental drowning trips before.

He being the beneficiary instead of her family or (alleged) boyfriend back home seems a little odd.

Aruban authorities probe insurance policy in missing woman case
August 17th, 2011
12:33 PM ET

 ::snipping2::

Giordano himself told authorities about the travel insurance, Stein said, and the FBI brought copies of the policy to Aruba this week. Investigators were still going through the documents, and Stein could not confirm the amount of the coverage or who the beneficiary was.

Local reports - citing sources close to the investigation - have said that a bloody hand print was found on stones behind the Nanki Country Club, at the same spot where the pair was said to be snorkeling.

"The blood discovery is interesting," Stein said, but he did not confirm or deny the details in the local reports. He gave the same response when asked about reports that an unused condom was also found at the location

http://arubaherald.com/911/863-possible-evidence-in-missing-womans-case-condom-and-blood-on-a-stone.html


A few days ago, reporters asked suspect Gary Giordano’s attorney Michael Lopez if he knew of a condom to be among the items being tested in the case against his client. Lopez said he was not aware of this.
In the meantime police sources say that Aruban authorities are waiting for the lab results on traces of blood that were found and a condom that was taken out of the wrapper, but was not used. These two “items”, if after tests are found to be evidence in this case, might determine if Gary Giordano is found guilty of the disappearance or death of Robyn Gardner. The police are very cautious and not giving information on the investigation as to avoid any disturbance. Even so, information is leaking. The main challenge in this case is that no body has been found yet.
Edit to change red color to green.

Something that also attracted attention is that Tuesday afternoon, when Giordano reported Gardner missing and the search for her started, Gary Giordano might have said at the police station in a meeting that he had lost Gardner from the morning, or much earlier. He changed his story immediately when he was asked why he had not reacted then. Correcting himself he said that it had happened that afternoon behind Nanki. There might still be certain details that bring on doubt about Gary Giordano, although he can not be considered guilty of any crime as yet.

Revealed: Aruba suspect took out $1.5m accidental death policy on Maryland woman days before she disappeared
By John Stevens
Last updated at 4:09 PM on 17th August 2011

A U.S. tourist detained in Aruba after the suspected death of his travel companion took out a $1.5 million accidental death policy on the Maryland woman days before they travelled to the island, it has been revealed.

 ::snipping2::

Video shows the pair at the Rum Beef Bar & Grill in the Baby Beach area of the island where Ms Gardner went missing.
Restaurant staff have told investigators that the woman seemed woozy while they ate.

Surveillance footage also shows Giordano in his rental car at the back of the restaurant, but the car had tinted windows so no one else in the vehicle can be seen.

Police said that they found blood on a rock behind the dive shop at the restaurant.

You can buy travelers insurance through your travel agent, or even on line without talking to anyone.    It is not necessarily just life type insurance, but covers, medical evacuation, hospitalization,  trip cancellations, lost luggage, and other things.

Post by: Helen Back on August 17, 2011, 01:49:23 PM
Thanks, everyone for all the great info.

Regarding the insurance, my understanding of travel insurance is to cover the cost of the trip, tickets, hotel, etc., in the event of trip cancellation, hurricane, etc.  As well, special medical insurance can be purchased to cover medical bills, evacuation or transport home for care, or in the event of death, transport of your body home. 

AD&D (Accidental Death and Dismemberment can also be purchased, but the beneficiary could never be someone who has no relationship.  Usually a large death benefit amount must be justified.  As in the loss of decedent's earnings calculated over their estimated life expectancy, or in the loss of stay at home mom, the cost for husband to hire nannies and help to raise surviving children, etc.

makes more sense it was just travel insurance.  Not sure why they would state 1.5 million value of policy.  That seems like misinfo, IMO.  As well, the source stated was "Aruban Police source".

Missing in Aruba: Suspect Took Out $1.5 Million Insurance Policy
Aug. 17, 2011


Authorities in Aruba are investigating an insurance policy taken out by Gary Giordano before his trip to Aruba as a possible motive in the disappearance of missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner.

The investigation into the $1.5 million accidental death policy on Gardner -- which names Giordano as a beneficiary -- has been confirmed exclusively with ABC News by a police source in Aruba, as has the fact that he purchased the pricier one-year policy over the cheaper, more commonly purchased five-year policy.

<snipped>

Authorities said that that they found blood on a rock behind the dive shop at the Rum Reef Bar & Grill, which is the last place the two were seen together.

Investigators also told ABC News of Giordano's other erratic behavior at the time of the disappearance -- including that he left the search early to get some sleep at his hotel.

Three days after the search for Gardner began, Giordano got within feet of leaving the country before he was stopped at Aruba's airport, after passing through security and U.S. customs -- where he told customs he had to change flights because of weather, and inexplicably told officials that his travel companion was "taking another flight." When arrested, authorities say Giordano was drenched in sweat.

There is no actual Papiamento translator online that I know of.

This one is Papiamentu, and sometimes it helps but it's still hard to decipher some things no matter how hard I try...

 ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyConfused:: ::MonkeyWaa::

This is the Papiamentu translator that I use.

I get this message, Papiamentu is currently under construction and is schedule to go life soon.  Please try again soon.

Saw this link posted on one of Robyn's Missing FB sites:

It's a pretty good read IMO.

I think she is to old to consider human trafficing.  JMO

IMO the type of human trafficking is more along the lines of women forced into prostitution in Aruba that came from Columbia or another South American country.

Help Find Robyn Colson - Gardner : Missing in Aruba

Robyn,

You taught me how to persevere and to never give up when the going gets tough. I pray that you don't give up now and understand that we're doing everything within our power to bring you home. As you taught me, I will never give up searching for you and praying for your safe return. I want to show and tell the world about how special of a person you are on the inside and outside. Our lights are on, please follow them home.

Love,
Your little "big" brother

Post by: Titch on August 17, 2011, 06:41:27 PM
Re my last post, I thought this bit of info was interesting...considering the name Gary Vincent Giordano is about as Italian a name a person can get:

Quote
Defendant Name:   GIORDANO, GARY VINCENT
Race:   WHITE, CAUCASIAN, ASIATIC INDIAN, ARAB
End Quote

August 2, 2011
Aruba

Robyn Lynn Gardner was last seen on August 2, 2011, in the Baby Beach, Sint Nicolaas area of Aruba, which is on the southeastern tip of the Caribbean Island. She and a travel companion had arrived in Aruba on July 31, 2011, from Maryland. Gardner may have gone snorkeling on August 2nd, but has not been seen since that date.

something hinky is going on............I have a hunch that something about this case is going to expose Natalee. We all know in the first few weeks of Natalee's disappearance where a condom & panties were found, then the search by Nanki Club......keep our fingers crossed that Aruba is going to finally pull a rabbit out of a hat and lo & behold they will solve the Natalee case and send her home!

a bloody hand print was found on stones behind the Nanki Country Club, at the same spot where the pair was said to be snorkeling.

Aruba Mystery: What Happened to Missing Robyn Gardner?

By Nicole Weisensee Egan and Jeff Truesdell

Wednesday August 17, 2011 07:30 PM EDT

Robyn Gardner was supposed to be in Orlando with her parents. At least that's what she told her boyfriend, Richard Forester.

Then she told Forester she actually had gone to Aruba on a surprise family trip.

In fact, the 35-year-old beautiful, blond Maryland woman with a radiant smile had traveled to the Caribbean with a man named Gary Giordano, a 50-year-old businessman also from Maryland with a disturbing past.

Now, Gardner is missing and presumed dead, Giordano is being detained, and questions are mounting about what happened during their island stay.

Graphic Photos

The mystery has only deepened as authorities in Aruba begin releasing details from the investigation.

The most recent shocker was the discovery of graphic photographs on Giordano's digital camera. The photos show Gardner in sexual positions with "parts of" Giordano, according to Stein. The images, a source tells PEOPLE are "beyond pornographic."

No other information about the photos has been revealed, and it's still not known exactly when the pictures were taken and whether Gardner had engaged in the acts willingly.

It's the latest surprise in a case that had already gained notoriety because of its parallels to the unsolved disappearance of Natalee Holloway, 18, from Aruba in 2005. The suspect in that case, Joran van der Sloot, is being tried this fall in Peru for the murder of another woman. The Natalee Holloway Resource Center has opened a tip line for the Gardner case.

I agree with you Kermit.  Very Hinky. 

I've been wondering if Gary has traveled to Aruba before.  If he has a connection with Aruba, I hope the FBI will uncover it.

It feels like groundhog day.  I just heard on NG, that the police had impounded the rental car, but released it back to the rental company.  It has since been cleaned and rented out at least two times.

They have not requested cadaver dogs from NL, but are planning a big search later this week at a lighthouse and rocky cliff area at Seroe Colorado.

The company was listed as an "interested other party" in the Giordano divorce case documents.

Missing in Aruba: Investigators Focus on Insurance Policy
By MATT GUTMAN (@mattgutmanABC) , ALEXA MIRANDA, RICHARD ESPOSITO
Aug. 17, 2011

 ::snipping2::

These developments were considered so significant that on Tuesday Judge Monique Yarzagaray ruled that Giordano be detained for double the time the prosecution originally requested. While in jail Giordano will undergo day-long interrogation each day, in which his lawyer can only be present before and afterward.

 ::snipping2::

Authorities in Aruba will now be focusing the search for Gardner on an area away from the beach where she went missing, but within the area where she could've traveled in that 4 p.m.to 6 p.m. timeline. The FBI is sending bloodhounds, while Curacao and Aruba riot cops and volunteers will comb the area.

I know this insurance thing may not be too relevant, but it's something that's been gnawing at me.

The consensus is that it was not a life insurance policy, but was traveling insurance.

The newspaper article mentioned the "American Express insurance".

I checked the AE travel insurance, and it only applies to things related to the travel (lost suitcases, delays, reservations, etc...)

There is the other travel insurance, it covers only inconveniences and accidents while flying, while at the airport, or while traveling to and from the airport.

I am NOT an insurance person, so I'm really talking out of my youknowwhat.

There is another insurance, which is free and automatic, for anyone using the American Express card to book a flight or to rent a car. This one works more or less like the travel insurance discussed above.

Here is a link to the site: https://www295.americanexpress.com/fsea/travel/airflight/coverage.do

It includes "domestic partners", so I see the beneficiary doesn't need to be a blood relative or spouse.

Gardner’s American boyfriend told authorities that she wasn’t the type to go snorkeling, and one of Giordano’s ex-wives told the FBI that because Giordano had a hairweave he rarely got his head wet. Instead they believe Giordano killed Gardner in a violent rage and then hid her body, possibly weighting it down before dumping her in the sea or burying her in one of the island’s mines, caves, or swamps.

Aruba Mystery: What Happened to Missing Robyn Gardner?

By Nicole Weisensee Egan and Jeff Truesdell

Wednesday August 17, 2011 07:30 PM EDT

Robyn Gardner was supposed to be in Orlando with her parents. At least that's what she told her boyfriend, Richard Forester.

Then she told Forester she actually had gone to Aruba on a surprise family trip.

In fact, the 35-year-old beautiful, blond Maryland woman with a radiant smile had traveled to the Caribbean with a man named Gary Giordano, a 50-year-old businessman also from Maryland with a disturbing past.

Now, Gardner is missing and presumed dead, Giordano is being detained, and questions are mounting about what happened during their island stay.

Graphic Photos

The mystery has only deepened as authorities in Aruba begin releasing details from the investigation.

The most recent shocker was the discovery of graphic photographs on Giordano's digital camera. The photos show Gardner in sexual positions with "parts of" Giordano, according to Stein. The images, a source tells PEOPLE are "beyond pornographic."

No other information about the photos has been revealed, and it's still not known exactly when the pictures were taken and whether Gardner had engaged in the acts willingly.

It's the latest surprise in a case that had already gained notoriety because of its parallels to the unsolved disappearance of Natalee Holloway, 18, from Aruba in 2005. The suspect in that case, Joran van der Sloot, is being tried this fall in Peru for the murder of another woman. The Natalee Holloway Resource Center has opened a tip line for the Gardner case.

Sooo...I fell asleep thinking about this last night...first thing I thought of this morning was MR. PINK...

So, I'm wondering if Robyn was an escort but her friends & family are afraid to release that info.

I'm wondering if Gary Giordano's company, Leverage LLC, is linked to social media networking proxies for adult people finders.

I wonder if myredbook &/or nettrav (among others) are being utilized by these people surrounding Robyn Gardner.

I wonder if bangbros can be linked to some of these network sites utilized by Giordano, Gardner and others.

If bangbros can be linked, then there's the connection with Aruba.

Something I find ironic is that some of the sites Casey Anthony searched online were linked to Carlsbad CA & Miami FL. Some of these same adult singles sites link to the same places, including Reading PA. I know what's in the media but I truly don't believe Gardner met Giordano on match.com & if she did then her profile was worded carefully, like his.

Does anyone know anything about the angel network?

Missing in Aruba: Investigators Focus on Insurance Policy
Aug. 17, 2011


<snipped>

Surveillance video from local businesses place Giordano and Gardner at the Rum Reef Bar & Grill in the Baby Beach area of the island before Gardner went missing, a law enforcement source told ABC News. Restaurant staff said that Gardner seemed woozy while the two ate; Giordano later told police they'd been drinking vodka at the Marriott before dining, and that she'd taken sleeping pills earlier in the day, the source said.

He owns a company called "Leverage LLC", if you google it or look for it on Linkedin you can find it. It is some kind of bullsh#t IT staffing company. He went to Univ of Maryland and also Severna Park High School. Guy is well known as a psycho on dating sites, including the adult sex site he is on called "Adultfrie ndfinder". ..word is that this Gardner woman met him on the adult sex site and NOT Match.com, her friends and family told the cops it was Match.com to keep her from looking like she was some kind of sew for money chick....

Gary Giordano Tried to Collect Insurance Payout on Robyn Gardner: Sources
Aug. 18, 2011


Gary Giordano, the only suspect in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner in Aruba, tried to redeem an insurance policy on Gardner that could be worth up to $1.5 million, according to reports.

Giordano moved to collect on the policy, which named him as beneficiary, within two days of reporting Gardner missing, the Associated Press reported.

Police were investigating an accidental death insurance policy for Gardner that named Giordano, 50, as the beneficiary, ABC News had reported earlier this week.

Travel Insurance Policy Focus of Robyn Gardner Investigation

In Maryland, Gardner's live-in boyfriend Robert Forester said the revelations about the insurance policy were disturbing.

"To be honest, I was saddened to hear it. I can't believe that Robyn would ever sign something like that voluntarily. Maybe if she was forced to, maybe if she was misinformed to what it was," Forester said.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
By Jdelly
Posted : 10/17/2008

Summary

AD&D insurance pays a set amount for accidental death or dismemberment
Covers only the direct, proven results of an accident
Very specific coverage that provides limited protection
Can be purchased as a rider on an existing policy or as a separate policy
Probably not worth purchasing


 ::snipping2::

Where to Buy AD&D
You can generally purchase accidental death and dismemberment insurance as a separate policy or as a rider (endorsement) on a basic life, health or other insurance policy. AD&D policies are typically issued by major insurers and can also be purchased through credit card offers or credit unions. Some life or health insurance companies may include or offer AD&D in their group insurance plans.

 ::snipping2::

The person with knowledge of the policy told the AP that Giordano purchased a $1.5 million American Express ( AXP - news - people ) Travel Insurance policy shortly before he left for Aruba and that the accidental-death benefit covered only the length of their short trip.

The source told the AP that Giordano called the insurance company on Aug. 4, while the search for Gardner was still going on. He sought to confirm that the documents listing him as the insurance beneficiary had been received and wanted to begin redeeming the policy.

This person also said that records indicate Giordano asked whether any search costs would be covered by the policy

Police have also discovered naked photos of Robyn with Giordano on his digital camera, and the pictures are “beyond pornographic,” according to People magazine.

“You only see organs,” Julia Renfro, the editor-in-chief of Aruba Today said, explaining that it was unclear if the acts were consensual. “You don’t know if she is awake. There are other pictures where she is posing naked.”

Step number one for filing an insurance claim:

Provide copy of the death certificate.  Sound of screeching halt.

Step number two by insurance company facing a 1.5 million payout:

Launch investigation to see if "beneficiary" , the person who stands to benefit from the "accident" could possible have involvement.  I would say that from his arrest and detention, this would be a big ole stumbling block for Gary.

Don't know how this works in ARUBA, but normally, much is required to obtain a death certificate for missing persons.  It can sometimes take years to have a missing person finally declared dead.

If there was a plan by anyone to cash in on insurance, it was not well thought out.

Has anyone bothered to ask if the Aruba trip was the first time in which she had posed with him for porno pictures?

I mean, if there are no other occasions in which porno pictures were taken with him... what are the odds that he took these before she died?

Could it have been to prove later on that they were consummating their love and happy, and that the other guy was NOT her "domestic partner?"

About the insurance, we need official information on this, as to what kind it was, when it was purchased, and whether Robyn Gardner knew about it. I mean, a "confidential source", Nancy Grace, or someone over at "Doctor Phil" may not be the most reliable resource.

From that article above, his cellphone is going to be checked, the U.S. boyfriend will be interviewed by the Aruba LE, something about the snorkeling equipment used by Giordano, and that the next trip in front of the judge could keep him in jail for 60 days.

Personally, I think that he is not too bright. Who calls the insurance company to file a claim about a person who has only been missing two days and has not been declared dead by an official agency, yet?

http://staffingtalk.com/leverage-llc-ceo-accused-aruba-disappearance/

 ::snipping2::

Giordano, as of Aug. 14, was still being detained in Aruba and was set to go before a judge in a closed hearing the following day. Meanwhile, the feds are researching the documents they found in a home raid last week.

 ::snipping2::

I called the listed number for Leverage LLC, to see how they were holding up under all the media scrutiny about its owner. It went straight to the voicemail of Giordano himself; the inbox is full. As of the time of publication, emails were not returned to us.


::snipping2::

At this point it doesn’t even appear that Leverage LLC is a functional staffing company. If you or anyone you know works for this company, please send a note to tips@staffingtalk.com and let us know how you’re holding up.

Gary's company, Leverage LLC, might have been a one-man show.

Police have also discovered naked photos of Robyn with Giordano on his digital camera, and the pictures are “beyond pornographic,” according to People magazine.

The Natalee Holloway Case

Is the Government of Aruba Going after Natalee's Family?
Published December 07, 2005


BILL O'REILLY, HOST:  ... The thesis, and they quote Deputy Chief Gerold Dompig in the article. The thesis is that the Holloway family, Twitty family, impeded the police investigation, Julia. Do you believe that?

JULIA RENFRO, EDITOR, ARUBA TODAY: Well, it’s not really what I believe, but I did speak to the Commissioner Dompig earlier today, and I asked him, "What did you mean by they hurt the investigation?" And he said he’s not blaming them specifically for anything, but that their attacks via the U.S. media certainly changed the tide of the investigation, basically, pressuring the police to make what they felt, believe it or not, premature arrests of the suspect.

Good questions.

The insurance company, is self-advertising, throught the phantom sources, my conclusion and IMO.

The undisclosed source, is Bunk!

At first I thought no, but the tattoo looks kinda the same in the shoulder area. Not sure about the part on the arm. 

Those do kinda look like bruises, don't they?

I bet if Giordano's camera has porno pics, there's no telling what the FBI is looking at in Virginia.  Naked pics of unconscious women?

GRACE: We are live in Aruba, taking your calls. Breaking news. As we go to air, an unused condom apparently straight out of the package and a bloody palmprint found at that restaurant, the Rum Reef restaurant, where the two were having that seaside lunch just two hours before Giordano reports Robyn is gone.

Also, video surveillance emerges, Giordano fumbling around behind the restaurant for several minutes before he goes in to try to report her missing. Now, how does that jive with initial reports that he approached a couple, an unknown couple on the beach, asking them to call 911? How many people did he ask to call 911? And why was he making such a spectacle of looking for her?

As we go to air tonight, we also learn a lot of late-breaking news. We learned as cops and volunteers, everybody out looking for Robyn Gardner, the young American tourist, he goes back to the hotel, saying he`s got to get some sleep. OK.

Out to Martin Savidge, CNN correspondent, standing there at Nanki Point in Aruba. Martin, what is this about an unused condom and a bloody palmprint? What was the bloody palmprint on behind the restaurant?

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Nancy, these two key pieces of evidence came to light today in the investigation. Authorities had known about it for a couple of days, but here is what we have heard, and that is the blood and perhaps a handprint in that blood was discovered in the area where Gary Giordano had said that they had been snorkeling. Right now, authorities will only say the blood find is interesting. And they say they will not confirm or they will not deny. I asked them the same about the condom. Again, interesting. But they will not confirm or deny, saying that this...

I suspect Robyn was not on the up & up. My money's on escorting.

Is there any chance Robyn will have her own forum or should I start posting the stuff I'm

"I only looked back when I hit a rock," the document quotes Giordano as telling investigators. "Before that, I did not look back. I was only busy saving my life."

Gardner had been snorkeling before and was a comfortable swimmer, he said. And he showed police scrapes on his legs, but he said he did not know how they happened.

 ::snipping2::

In his interview, Giordano said he ran a temporary manpower agency and did not want to discuss his business income since it varied from month to month. He said that his finances were in good shape, that he had no debt beyond a mortgage and that he paid $600 a month in child support for his two children from a previous marriage.

Giordano is being held at the island's prison, the Correctional Institute of Aruba, commonly known by the Dutch acronym KIA. Aruban authorities said Thursday that two convicts from that facility escaped sometime after midnight, but Giordano remained locked up.

Looks like bruises on her side  ::MonkeyEek::

That photo is from:

www.modelmayhem.com
Where Professional Models Meet Model Photographers - ModelMayhem


Nothing against modelmayhem but that's where models go that are less than 3rd rate or also do porn/soft & hard. Usually these models are the ones that aren't tall enough, skinny enough, have symmetrical features, full lips, large feet, short fingers, big knuckles &/or knees, etc.

I suspect Robyn was not on the up & up. My money's on escorting.

Is there any chance Robyn will have her own forum or should I start posting the stuff I'm
Coming across with regards to her acquaintances? I was just worried some might get lost.

This is her own thread, I don't understand what you mean by her own forum?

Are you maybe talking about the a thread in the "Missing High Profile" area.

TIA

 ::MonkeyConfused::

I don't really know how it works, but I'm thinking that if Klaas decides to change where Robyn's thread is; that everything that's been posted here would be moved there.

But that's just me thinking...

Missing in Aruba: Investigators Focus on Insurance Policy
Aug. 17, 2011


<snipped>

Gardner, 35, has been missing for two weeks, since reportedly snorkeling with Giordano, 50, off of an isolated beach on Aug. 2. The two traveled together from Maryland to Aruba on July 31. She is now presumed to be dead by Aruba police.

<snipped>

Police are asking members of the public that may have information about Gardner's disappearance to call 011-297-582-0695 and leave their tip and contact information. The Natalee Holloway Resource Center, which is also helping with the case, has set up an American tip line at 407-237-2295.

Giordano's attorney is not commenting on the case. It's also been reported that Giordano threatened to fire him if he made any more comments to the media.

They reportedly have surveillance video of Giordano acting strangely on the day that his companion disappeared. He was seen moving his car several times and wearing different types of toupees. Reports of blood found at the dive shop where the couple was last seen has not been confirmed or denied by local authorities.

Ms. Gardner, who grew up in Mount Airy and graduated from South Carroll High School in Sykesville, Md., in 1994, spent most of her adult life in the nearby city of Frederick. She moved there with husband Kenneth Gardner, to whom she was married for about 10 years.

The couple bought a newly renovated home on Second Street in downtown Frederick, where they lived until they separated in 2009, according to court records filed in Frederick County.

“I believe they paid top price for it, then the market tanked,” said neighbor Bill Mohan.

If I saw that looking into one of my windows I am pretty sure he would have seen the wrong end of a barrel or a baseball bat here as well. 

Stranger yet, why would a 50 yr od man have that costume to begin with?  I remember watching a CSI once where adults dressed up in animal costumes and yiffed each other.  Could this have been one of his sexual things as well?  I am scared to look for online groups that he could have belonged to that do this.

Aruba has postponed until early next week a search for the remains of missing American tourist Robyn Gardner.
Solicitor General Taco Stein says authorities need more time to prepare for the large-scale operation on the Dutch Caribbean island. It had been expected by the end of this week

Now that I have told my daughter about this, she is a bit freaked out. She does not want to be on camera at this time, and does not want to discuss it. One thing she said to me, that made me laugh a bit, was the fact that this could have been her, and she would never have gotten to meet Lady Gaga! Young girls need to be very careful. I am her manager and her mother so I am a bit over protective, and I guess it is a good thing!

I did not hear any more from him until I saw the story on the news.
I heard that her family and friends did not understand why she went with him, and I do. He made the offer sound great. I also learned today that she had just lost her job as well.
I remembered that he had e mailed me a couple of times the day or 2 before he had called saying he was a producer and was interested in speaking to my daughter about working with him on modeling jobs. Said he had jobs all over the world including Jamacia, Aruba, the Virgin Islands etc. I had looked him up on the web site my daughter's profile was on, and saw his profile, and he had his picture, as well as in the info, he was a producer, manager etc...It is no longer on there as of this date...
When he called, I did not put the 2 together, at the time...

I told him he was a scumbag and NO REAL producer would even think like that much less actually SAY it! He called me a bunch of names, said he KNEW we needed the money and I just blew the greatest thing ever. More cursing me out , telling me things such as he could make me disappear and no one would look for me, he knows where I live, etc.. and so I told him off and hung up the phone. I then tried to re-dial his number, to tell him off more, and found out it was a fake number. I have done some checking into him as a producer and can not find anything to this date.

HE thought he had me on the hook by this point, having talked about snorkeling, jet skiing, shopping, clubbing and modeling. He made the trip sound great. THEN he started asking me really personal questions such as was I single, did I ever do any modeling, would I like to hook up with a producer who was well endowed both in the physical and financial department?
That threw me. I told him I was not interested and neither was my daughter, and he got angry. He said I was an idiot throwing away a free trip and cash. He said if I went, and would sleep with him, and he would take care of me well. He then said we would be taken care of for the rest of my life (financially) if I let him have my daughter as well.

I then got back on the phone as me, and he told me all about the shoot, and she would be well taken care of. Also there would be no sex involved. Anything to put me at ease. He was very convincing. He even said he would share the room with her to make sure she was safe, "after the Natalee Holloway thing"...Saying he would take care of everything and be sure she was guarded the whole time etc...(that is when I started to get suspicious).
I told him that she could not travel abroad alone, and I would have to accompany her. He started asking me personal questions, such as build, look etc...When I asked him why he was asking me this, he said he could get me into the shoot as well, and could give us $7000 each if we both came. That the company was doing a mother/daughter swimsuit edition as well.
August 12 at 8:08pm

Carrie Emerson
He asked if she had a current passport,and when I said" yes," and he he proceeded to tell me about the trip to Aruba and the shoot.
He said all expenses would be paid, she could go shopping while she was there, "on the company", and she would get $5000 cash as well, on top of everything else, just to go and shoot for a few days. He said he was in a fix because of the other girl backing out and needed someone right away. He was talking about the great sunrises and sets there, and the "infinite beauty"of the island and that was why they were shooting there.
He really came off as having known my daughter and as having talked to her before. Which I knew he had not. I told him it sounded great and to hold on one second so he could talk to my mom/manager. (This whole time he thought I was my daughter)
August 12 at 8:08pm

Carrie Emerson
A few weeks ago,(around the 20th or so ) a man called about a possible modeling job for my daughter. When I first answered the phone, he asked for my daughter, by her modeling name. I said "yes?". He then said "hey , this is Gary from SJ. I loved your profile and pics, and think you would do GREAT modeling swimsuits for my company". He proceeded to ask me if I had modeled before and to tell me he was a producer for a well known swimsuit company("the largest swimsuit retailer in the country"). That he had a girl back out at the last minute, was looking for a local girl, (said he knew we were in Va. and he was near there) and would love for her to come to Aruba for a shoot near the end of July or beginning of august, as long as she has a current passport. I asked him, "Gary who?"(thinking I may have talked to him before) And he said "Gary Giordano,the producer".

Missing in Aruba ... Case Just Got More Bizarre, Gary Giordano Took Out $1.5 million Policy out on Robyn Gardner before Trip to Aruba & Pornographic Pics

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2011/08/19/missing-in-aruba-case-just-got-more-bizzare-gary-giordano-took-out-1-5-million-policy-out-on-robyn-gardner-before-trip-to-aruba-pornagraphic-pics/

Quote
Although many individuals do take out travel insurance before they go on vacation, this one raises some eye brows. You take out an insurance policy on some one, who you barely know, who is not your fiance, girl friend or even acquaintance.The purchasing of a policy almost brings a form of premeditation into Gardner’s death. According to sources, Giordano tried to redeem the accidental death insurance policy.

Do we know if Giordano is a frequent traveler to Aruba? Its one thing for someone like JVDS who had all kinds of help and connections to hide a body, but a tourist? One would think that some one would have seen or heard something. However, what is most striking is the insurance policy. How does one take that out, let alone another person being so stupid to sign it for some one they don't even know.

I keep coming back to the question, why was the Aruba police, prosecution and judge panel not so diligent in the case of Natalee Holloway.

Is anyone getting hinky feelings about that Carrie Emerson? does she have the emails or phone recordings? seems so scripted what she is saying...and I do not find her daughters comment about if that was her she would not have been able to meet Lady Gaga..not funny!  Her daughter did not appear to be someone who required a manager when I saw her on tv..if we are talking about the same girl that was on one of the morning shows..jmo...what does the mother manage her for? I missed that...
sorry if this sounds cold of me but I just hate it when people come out of the woodwork for their 15 minutes of fame when someone else has disappeared...I am becoming skeptical I guess...

Same feeling...I first felt that way with the comment about Lady GaGa...and then toward the part where she is saying:
"He really came off as having known my daughter and as having talked to her before. Which I knew he had not. I told him it sounded great and to hold on one second so he could talk to my mom/manager. (This whole time he thought I was my daughter)" the wording seems twisted to me...like she couldn't keep her story straight...does that make sense? If he thought that he was talking to the daughter then how does he act like he has talked to her before?  Wouldn't "daughter" say, I haven't talked to you before?  I don't know maybe it's how I read it.

I'm leaning toward Giordano takes nasty pics/videos of girls for profit.  Who does he send them to?

Thanks Northern.  This photo appears to have been taken in 2009.  Can anyone tell where it is?  We have been wondering how familiar he is with Aruba:

Klaas,  in my opinion, this looks more like some areas of St. Thomas  (Saphinre Beach area, or that side of St. Thomas) than it does Aruba.

After police discovered ” beyond pornographic" pictures of missing ROBYN GARDNER in the camera of suspect Gary Giordano, The ENQUIRER has learned of a startling link to the NATALEE HOLLOWAY case!
 
Prime suspect, Gary Giordano – the last per­son to see pretty Robyn Gardner alive – appears to have sexually targeted blonde women who resembled Natalee.
 
Sources say he offered at least one other a trip to Aruba for some hot and heavy fun in the sun.

Missing in Aruba ... Case Just Got More Bizarre, Gary Giordano Took Out $1.5 million Policy out on Robyn Gardner before Trip to Aruba & Pornographic Pics

Quote
Although many individuals do take out travel insurance before they go on vacation, this one raises some eye brows. You take out an insurance policy on some one, who you barely know, who is not your fiance, girl friend or even acquaintance.The purchasing of a policy almost brings a form of premeditation into Gardner’s death. According to sources, Giordano tried to redeem the accidental death insurance policy.

Do we know if Giordano is a frequent traveler to Aruba? Its one thing for someone like JVDS who had all kinds of help and connections to hide a body, but a tourist? One would think that some one would have seen or heard something. However, what is most striking is the insurance policy. How does one take that out, let alone another person being so stupid to sign it for some one they don't even know.

I keep coming back to the question, why was the Aruba police, prosecution and judge panel not so diligent in the case of Natalee Holloway.

I'm curious about the ex. He hasn't come forward and I find that odd. He was shelling out two grand a month to Robyn plus she got the 2007 Mercedes, $15,000.00 and two more payments of $15,000.00.  Did he know Gary Giordano? or the boyfriend?

Personally, I think the travel policy was probably for $150,000.00 and Aruba screwed up the numbers.  I think he took it out and she signed it to him because he booked the trip and expenses.  He was afraid she might cancel.

Robyn's ex husband.   35 years of buidling experience?

www.fhba.com/docs/res_KenGardner.doc

I’m Ken Gardner, and I’ve recently relocated to the Orlando area from Maryland, where I worked in residential construction and as a General Contractor for 35 years.
I’m interested in being a construction manager/superintendent.
In Maryland, as a GC, I was involved in all aspects of construction, from the ground up, through the warranty period. I’ve mostly built high-end new custom homes, and have extensive experience in remodeling and renovations. I also have a limited background with production homes and a commercial project.
I’m detail oriented experienced in Microsoft Office and SoftPlan. I have strong management and ‘people’ skills and math and accounting has always been a strong suit.
As another point of reference, and if you’d like, I can forward a slide show of some of the homes I’ve built in Maryland. One home was a designer showcase home for the Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis.
Currently, I am doing home renovations, remodeling, home improvements and home repair in the Northwest Orlando (Apopka) area, where I live.
I am available for interviews and will be glad to view any other opportunities that you may have that might fit my qualifications.
Thank you,
Ken Gardner

Apopka, Fl. 32712

Objective:
I’ve recently relocated to the Orlando area from Maryland, and I’m pursuing employment in the construction field in the Orlando area.
Employment:
Lifestyles Custom Homes, LLC.
Westminster, Md. 21158
Project Manager
1999 to August '07
I bring to the table over 35 years of construction experience, mainly in custom homes and also in production homes and condominium projects.
I worked with prospective clients in the preliminary design and estimating aspects of the project. . I controlled the construction process from beginning to completion and through the warranty period. Once the client was under contract, I would acquire any necessary permits. Working with the client has always been a strong suit, and my job during construction was to meet with the client on a regular basis to both review the project and make whatever changes deemed necessary. I have both a framing carpentry and interior carpentry background, which has always been useful in dealing with any construction issues. I have experience in all aspects of residential construction.

Sunny,

thank you. Good job pulling up that information.
Sounds like he got hit by the economy and is struggling for work & to reduce and/or omit his alimony to Robyn too.

I just find it odd his being he ex that he hasn't been interviewed at all.

Missing in Aruba ... Case Just Got More Bizarre, Gary Giordano Took Out $1.5 million Policy out on Robyn Gardner before Trip to Aruba & Pornographic Pics

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2011/08/19/missing-in-aruba-case-just-got-more-bizzare-gary-giordano-took-out-1-5-million-policy-out-on-robyn-gardner-before-trip-to-aruba-pornagraphic-pics/

Quote
Although many individuals do take out travel insurance before they go on vacation, this one raises some eye brows. You take out an insurance policy on some one, who you barely know, who is not your fiance, girl friend or even acquaintance.The purchasing of a policy almost brings a form of premeditation into Gardner’s death. According to sources, Giordano tried to redeem the accidental death insurance policy.

Do we know if Giordano is a frequent traveler to Aruba? Its one thing for someone like JVDS who had all kinds of help and connections to hide a body, but a tourist? One would think that some one would have seen or heard something. However, what is most striking is the insurance policy. How does one take that out, let alone another person being so stupid to sign it for some one they don't even know.

I keep coming back to the question, why was the Aruba police, prosecution and judge panel not so diligent in the case of Natalee Holloway.


Contrary to Joran van der Sloot ... Gary Giordano is not the son of a Dutch elite?  Could it be that this is the reason there is not an agenda within the Aruban investigation to protect Gary Giordano from accountability in regards to his participation in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner ... there is not an agenda an that implies justice will not prevail?

You know, I asked a question about, I understand that there was a statement made by Joran, where he talks about what he had done to Natalee and he described in very graphic detail, like, the stitching and embroidery and everything on Natalee`s underwear. And he goes, Oh, no, no, no. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Well, little did he know I had just read the statements where Joran describes that to the "T," you know, two days before. But of course, I didn`t tell him that. But that`s just when I started to think something`s wrong here.

Do you think that that quote coming from you in some ways might be problematic at this stage of the case?

STEIN: Well, I don`t know. I can have an opinion myself about a person. I`m not dealing with the case myself. So my colleagues who will take the case to court will not be biased.

Not sure yet, except that she is listed as the owner of the address that was listed as Kenneth Gardner's residence in the June 2011 traffic case, in the property records it is listed as her primary residence as well, and it is also the principal office address of the Gardner Building Group according to the corporate records.

I don't know what her relation is to Kenneth Gardner...yet.

Since the Gardner Building Group was noted as a "female owned and founded", I'm wondering if she is a relative of Kenneth Gardner since he is the resident agent in the corporate records?

Robyn Gardner Search attracts Psychic Carla Baron

August 19, 2011 08:55 PM EDT

Psychic Carla Baron was contacted by the boyfriend of missing Maryland woman, Robyn Gardner. This detail comes as a breaking update in this ever-developing case. It seems that while the Aruban authorities are playing this one as quietly as possible, Richard Forester just wants answers. This man is distraught about the disappearance of Robyn Gardner and publicly reached out to the world-renowned psychic profiler for help.

Carla's public fan-page on Facebook shows multiple posts between her and Richard Forester regarding the disappearance of the 35-year-old woman from Maryland. Apparently the two have been in contact with each other since the 12th of August. There is even a public testimonial by Forester where he says:

"Carla... thank u [so] much. U have connected me with my love, best friend and I am truly grateful."

Police have also discovered naked photos of Robyn with Giordano on his digital camera, and the pictures are “beyond pornographic,” according to People magazine.

“You only see organs,” Julia Renfro, the editor-in-chief of Aruba Today said, explaining that it was unclear if the acts were consensual. “You don’t know if she is awake. There are other pictures where she is posing naked.”

Assuming for a minute that Robyn is dead.

Anybody really think they're serious about finding her body?

Just how long does it really take to coordinate a search?  Scary thought when you consider...what if she's alive (or was alive two weeks ago)?  Did they ever search for a "live" Robyn?  If they doubted Giordano's story from the getgo, why did they believe from the beginning that she was dead?  Did they not bother with a search, just depending on her to "make herself known" if she was alive?

With the constant wind (not just a breeze people...wind) I wonder how much success can really be expected with cadaver dogs, no matter how good they are.  Does anyone know of a case where a body has been found with cadaver dogs in Aruba?  I can't think of one.

And the longer it takes, the less there will be.

Maybe they're just coordinating the big show?   So they can rave about how hard they tried for years to come when people talk about another unsolved murder of an American citizen on that rock.  But they didn't really try, just like Natalee...it was all just a show to keep the American dollars; they never intended to do anything.

And now another family in Peru grieves because Joran van der Sloot murdered their daughter five years later.

Between not examining Giordano's rental car, and taking their sweet ass time to search for Robyn, it's almost as if the Aruba Police are in the business of destroying evidence, or hoping that if they wait long enough it will be destroyed.

It would be interesting to know if they collected any forensic evidence at all from the hotel room, besides Giordano's camera.

I'm putting on my criminal hat for a moment.

The AD&D policy for 1.5 million, if true, and Giordano's attempt to collect on the policy, if true, indicate pre-meditation for the purpose of monetary gain.

Two things place a person squarely in suspect number one spot until ruled out:  Being the one who reports the person missing, and being the beneficiary on an insurance policy.

If Giordano planned to get rid of Robyn, why not at least book a separate room for her?  Why not just go on to the airport and fly out without reporting her missing?  Why not just leave her a note in the hotel room and ask her to call you when she's back in the USA?  Why try to make a claim on a policy while still in Aruba?

These don't seem like the actions of a person who planned a disappearance.  It's as if this guy intentionally put himself on the radar as a murder suspect.

This is like De Ja Vu.  First they ask for the FBI's assistance, then we are told there is 1 FBI person in Aruba that is not really involved.  Typical Aruban bullshit.

Never Passed the Ball

Loving Natalee
A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway


Page 184: Then FBI agent Bill comes by and delivers the final blow. "The FBI has never received one single document from the Arubans. Not one tape. Nothing." he says sadly. Depite our personal pleas to authorities here and our broadcast appeals to Aruba to let the FBI lend a hand, and regardless of Aruba's public response that it would welcome FBI assistance, the island never let FBI agents in on the investigation. Never passed them the ball. Not even for one minute


No Invitation Extended

Kyle Kingman - In His Own Words


Kyle Kingman:  The Arubans told us there wasn't anything of interest in the trap based on the visual-only inspection (Dateline and Tim Miller present).
 
Kyle Kingman:  John definitely believed the Arubans at their every word

Kyle Kingman:  Aruban divers deemed the cage to be not case related, and therefore Aruba had no interest in it.  At that point, I made the statement to all on board that we do have an interest and that we would recover the cage ourselves.  That is when Mos said they would dive on it but it would take 1 -2 weeks for a forensics team to arrive and that he would let Persistence know.

Kyle Kingman:  The FBI said they needed an invitation. I brought it up to Mos and Richardson and they were talking as if it were a possibility along with a Dutch forensic team. Mos said it would take about 10-14 days to have a Dutch forensic team on site. Never heard another word about it.

Suspicion of Gary Giordano mounts in Aruba

(CBS News)  Aruban investigators have postponed until early next week a massive, island-wide search for Robyn Gardner, saying they needed more time to prepare, reports CBS News Correspondent Kelly Cobiella.

It's been 18 days since the 35-year-old from Frederick, Md. vanished.

 ::snipping2::

 :gaah:



Between not examining Giordano's rental car, and taking their sweet ass time to search for Robyn, it's almost as if the Aruba Police are in the business of destroying evidence, or hoping that if they wait long enough it will be destroyed.

It would be interesting to know if they collected any forensic evidence at all from the hotel room, besides Giordano's camera. 

 ::MonkeyNoNo::


Yes, and remember they've sent some evidence to Curacao...laptop iirc.  Some evidence to Holland... my bet is nothing of value will come from any of it.  Not to say there's not evidence that could have been recovered but I have no confidence in the authorities in Curacao; and very little in those in Holland.

Keep the FBI out of the investigation, drag their feet until there's no recoverable evidence, Giordano waits the required times in KIA until he's eventually released.

No body, no crime.

Even if the US authorities somehow eventually charge Giordano in the US, what will they have for evidence?

Maybe that's the plan?

American's need to remember that when they step off the plane on that rock, they're at their mercy...the US can't help if something bad happens to them.

Aruba sucks.

I guess our only hope is if the FBI can find some evidence in his home that they can build a case with. 

The Dutch legal system is so weird.  It 's one of the biggest reasons not to travel to that dump, if you ask me. 

I guess we have those wretched "PV's" to look forward to.  You know the ones where they question the suspect for about 10 days in a row, and they write it up in a two paragraph summary (double-spaced).

I agree with your assessment as well as Gary Giordano might know, being a wealthy guy, he can buy off someone in Aruba is my thinking.
Freebirds were pretty sure that computers they used traced back to gov't/polis.

I find it suspicious the ex-husband who has a court case to modify alimony payments has been absent from interviews about his ex-wife. I am curious if he and Gary Giordano know each other.

Missing in Aruba ... Case Just Got More Bizarre, Gary Giordano Took Out $1.5 million Policy out on Robyn Gardner before Trip to Aruba & Pornographic Pics

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2011/08/19/missing-in-aruba-case-just-got-more-bizzare-gary-giordano-took-out-1-5-million-policy-out-on-robyn-gardner-before-trip-to-aruba-pornagraphic-pics/

Quote
Although many individuals do take out travel insurance before they go on vacation, this one raises some eye brows. You take out an insurance policy on some one, who you barely know, who is not your fiance, girl friend or even acquaintance.The purchasing of a policy almost brings a form of premeditation into Gardner’s death. According to sources, Giordano tried to redeem the accidental death insurance policy.

Do we know if Giordano is a frequent traveler to Aruba? Its one thing for someone like JVDS who had all kinds of help and connections to hide a body, but a tourist? One would think that some one would have seen or heard something. However, what is most striking is the insurance policy. How does one take that out, let alone another person being so stupid to sign it for some one they don't even know.

I keep coming back to the question, why was the Aruba police, prosecution and judge panel not so diligent in the case of Natalee Holloway.

I'm curious about the ex. He hasn't come forward and I find that odd. He was shelling out two grand a month to Robyn plus she got the 2007 Mercedes, $15,000.00 and two more payments of $15,000.00.  Did he know Gary Giordano? or the boyfriend?

KENNEITH G. CARDNER IS 37 YEARS OLD

Robyn Gardner was supposed to be in Orlando with her parents

Body art was a common interest for the couple, who got matching nautical star tattoos on a trip together to Florida.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/aug/18/missing-maryland-woman-hoped-for-a-getaway/?page=2

How can Ken Gardner be 37 years old and have 35 years experience in construction industry? Is  that the right Gardner?  Do we know he is 37?

This lists Kenneth Gardner as being 37 years old and living at the address that is listed in their divorce papers.
What lead me to wonder if that was the same guy moving to Florida was the same named guy says he moved from Maryland recently to Florida and I remember he was someone in construction. Robyn goes to Florida with boyfriend to get matching tattoo's and her parents live there. I would like to find something in this that makes sense or adds up and so far nothing does
which triggers my gut meter.

Is anyone else questioning why she even went to Aruba with this man?

Her roomate said she was a little surprised she did go on this trip after the way he reacted when she had refused the cruise he had offerred to take her on before.

She is 35, has been married before, has a boyfriend..and yet goes on this Aruba trip with a so called platonic friend..what for?

I think she knew that she might be shoot in some semi-nude/ nude pics..and thought the money might be good.  I can find no other reason for her to go with him on a trip...none.  He promised her money and work..that has to be the only reason she would go.  Any halfway savvy woman of 35 knows men do not ask you on a vacation paid in full as a platonic endeavor without some agenda.  She had to have known there would be a catch......or maybe not..and when she didn't comply he murdered her.

I am just reaching ..but I think she thought she would be doing some modeling..even semi nude/ nude modeling...but not that it would involve sex or intercourse or him.  I think that is the way he has suduced some women..the chance of modeling..and then forced himself on them...and then convinced them not to press charges by his own bizarre behavior..although that should be a red light..I think if someone were caught up in it ..it wouldn't be so easy to remove yourself from.

Just trying to ponder her reason for being with him in Aruba...and if he is such a great guy offering a free vacay..how this evolved into a murder..that seems somewhat haphzardly planned.  Was it his plan that if things didn't go his way he would then murder her and try to make it look like an accidental drowning?  Or ..did he know this was how itwould end..was it the end that justified the means..or was it the fact she didn't cooperate that justified the end?  IDK..but I wish I knew if she was the first ons only woman he took on vacy ...cause I am thinking there are others that went with him..did what he wanted and then moved with no forwarding address.

I just wanted to clarify by my last post..I am not judging Robyn.  No matter what her understanding was with this jerk before they left for Aruba it does not equate to her death.   Nothing justifies someone killing another person unless they are unless it  is lilled or be killed.   I don't think this was premeditated..even with the insurance policy..I do think he thought he would get more from the relationship and when that didn't happen and she had the goods on him as a perv and rapist..he murdered her.

Yes ..I think he set her up for pics and then raped her ..and she faught back ..and he knew if she lived she would tell the tale of what he realy was.

I don't think this is the first time he has gotten away with rape under the situation of saying he is taking soft porn pics..and I wish those woman would come forward and testify to what he did to them.

 ::rhino::

Could it be the Gary Giordano had been drugging Robyn Gardner since their arrival on the Island three days earlier ... drugging in a quest for "beyond pornographic" images ... images that Robyn would never consent to?

Could the life insurance policy imply that Gary Giordano planned to murder Robyn Gardner to avoid any backlast from the drugging and the unconsented "beyond pornographic" images?

Could it be that Gary Giordano did not anticipate Aruban authorities challenging his snorkling/drowning story?

Could it be that Gary Giodano and/or Aruban authorities did not anticipate the media to become an issue?  Think about it.  If Robert Forester had not contacted the NHRC would Giodano had caught that plane home to the States and ... the disappearance of Robyn Gardner would have been categorized as an accidental drowning.  Case Closed!

Missing in Aruba: Investigators Focus on Insurance Policy

Surveillance video from local businesses place Giordano and Gardner at the Rum Reef Bar & Grill in the Baby Beach area of the island before Gardner went missing, a law enforcement source told ABC News. Restaurant staff said that Gardner seemed woozy while the two ate; Giordano later told police they'd been drinking vodka at the Marriott before dining, and that she'd taken sleeping pills earlier in the day, the source said.

Yes Janet..thank you for those links.

I agree it is very plausible he was drugging her to get the shots and sexual action he wanted and that either she still did not comply or she died from an overdse of what he used to drug her.  Either way he is definitely to blame for her death..either he drowned her while she was drugged or drugged her to the point of an overdose and then did away with her body.

A man who was fishing on the beach says Gardner and her companion Gary Giordano left the beach without going in the water.  The witness says the two drove off and didn't return to the beach.

Giordano claims he and Gardner were snorkeling and she disappeared in the water.   Giordano is being held as a suspect in her disappearance. 

Among the reasons he is being held is an insurance policy he purchased on Gardner, that he tried to collect on after her disappearance.   Giordano, who purchased the accidental policy shortly before travelling to the Dutch Caribbean island with the 35-year-old, tried to begin redeeming the American Express policy, which he took out just days before their trip and unusually only covered the trip to Aruba.
According to a police source, Giordano purchased a more expensive one-year policy instead of a more commonly purchased five year policy.

This is soooo Aruba.

Taking "insider" secret info and trying to make sense of it.  Why not track down the witness and do a direct quote?  I am tired of the "officials" having to keep info quiet for "the investigation" but leaking innuendo.

If Robyn is on land those wild dogs would have scattered her bones by now.  Maybe that's what they're hoping for.

You know, no area of that island can be searched without a specific lead telling them exactly where to search.  It's probably too late for a tracking dog to start at the restaurant where they were seen.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Missing in Aruba … Case Just Got More Bizarre, Gary Giordano Took Out $1.5 million Policy out on Robyn Gardner before Trip to Aruba & Pornographic Pics

12.  A Texas Grandfather on August 20th, 2011 5:00 pm

This case is beginning to look like a planned way to collect the insurance proceeds. The suspect hires a woman that is more than likley a high class prostitute who will travel with a client.

He takes her to Aruba where he figures he can get away with a murder without prosecution. He buys an insuranc policy for travel on her life, enjoys a few days of her services and then either sells her or kills her and hides the body. ...

Could it be that Gary Giordano did not anticipate Aruban authorities challenging his snorkling/drowning story?

Could it be that Gary Giodano and/or Aruban authorities did not anticipate the media to become an issue?  Think about it.  If Robert Forester had not contacted the NHRC would Giodano had caught that plane home to the States and ... the disappearance of Robyn Gardner would have been categorized as an accidental drowning.  Case Closed!

BETH HOLLOWAY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY`S MOTHER: Well, first of all, Richard made the call to the Natalee Holloway Resource Center on August the 8th, which was a great move on his part. We were able to immediately pull together some photos that Richard had given us.

And the biggest asset of the Natalee Holloway Resource Center is that we provide is we send out the media release. And as we al know, media is essential in helping to solicit tips and eyewitnesses. So we got that ball rolling through Richard`s efforts.

PINSKY: And Beth, I must say, it has to bring up all of those old feelings, even just seeing what Richard is going through. Have you been in contact with her family?

HOLLOWAY: I have not been in contact with Robyn`s family. And Richard has been communicating with the staff at the Natalee Holloway Resource Center. So we have just been -- I have just been working with the staff there to coordinate.

PINSKY: Has her family been involved with this?

HOLLOWAY: Her family has -- they have not -- no one at the Natalee Holloway Resource Center has spoken to Robyn`s family. I believe the only two people they have spoken to are the cousin and Richard himself.

Police Reveal 'Bloody Handprint' Evidence In Aruba Mystery Disappearance Doesn't Exist
Posted on Aug 21, 2011 @ 06:00AM


A purported key piece evidence in the mysterious disappearance of missing American woman Robyn Gardner doesn't exist, police have revealed.

Blood was reportedly found on a rock near the restaurant not far from where Gardner and her traveling companion Gary Giordano were last seen together.

PHOTOS: Richard Forester And Robyn Gardner

But Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein said in an interview Saturday night: "The detail about the hand print and blood is not true."

"That is not something that we have found," the Solicitor General said, adding: "Let me put that to rest as that only hinders the investigation."

Speaking to Judge Jeanine Pirro on Fox News' Justice with Judge Jeanine, Stein also shed new light on the graphic photographs that authorities found on Giordano's camera, showing the missing Maryland woman in various sexual positions.

"I'm told there is no sign of duress at all (in the images)," General Stein told Judge Pirro.

One law enforcement source had described the images as "beyond pornographic," though General Stein stopped short of that description.

He said, "Those photos were explicit. That's all I have said and that is all I am going to say. I have not seen the pictures myself."

Not much coming out of the Aruban media, seems newspapers staffs don't work on Sunday mornings. Hopefully this week the DNA will come back, and Robyn will be found. That way the case will no go unsolved, as Natalee's was.

I read somewhere that if after 16 days nothing is found and the police wants to keep Gary for a longer period of time, the judge can order another 60 days. Hopefully that is true.

I am still curious about he shooting porno pictures with her or other women before. The reason I can see of him taking her pictures before killing her is to have proof that their relationship was sexual, and that if the other boyfriend wanted to contest the insurance inquest saying Gary and Robyn were not living together or having a relationship, that the photos would prove otherwise. Then again, he could just be a pervert.

I found myself shaking my head yesterday, visualizing Gary contacting the AE Insurance carrier and saying, "excuse me, my girlfriend went missing two days ago and I want to know how can I collect on her life insurance policy you sold me last week"...

... just like Shapiro and Kardashian submitting a motion to Judge Ito to return OJ's expensive leather gloves.

New Witness Disputes Gary Giordano's Claims in Case of Missing Woman in Aruba

By OLIVIA KATRANDJIAN
Aug. 21, 2011

As Aruba authorities question Gary Giordano in the disappearance of his traveling companion American Robyn Gardner, a new witness has disputed his account of what happened the day Gardner disappeared.

Giordano's account is based on his claim that he and Gardner had gone snorkeling the day she disappeared, but the witness disputes those claims.

The witness says he was fishing on a beach on that day and he saw the two take a walk along the reef around 4 p.m., but they never went in the water.

A short time later, the couple drove away and he never saw either of them again, the witness says.


"If this witness ends up being accurate and correct as to locations of both Mr. Giordano and Ms. Gardner, it's yet another piece of evidence that's inconsistent with his story," said ABC News consultant Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent.

A man who was fishing on the beach says Gardner and her companion Gary Giordano left the beach without going in the water.  The witness says the two drove off and didn't return to the beach.

Giordano claims he and Gardner were snorkeling and she disappeared in the water.   Giordano is being held as a suspect in her disappearance. 

Among the reasons he is being held is an insurance policy he purchased on Gardner, that he tried to collect on after her disappearance.   Giordano, who purchased the accidental policy shortly before travelling to the Dutch Caribbean island with the 35-year-old, tried to begin redeeming the American Express policy, which he took out just days before their trip and unusually only covered the trip to Aruba.
According to a police source, Giordano purchased a more expensive one-year policy instead of a more commonly purchased five year policy.

 ::snipping2::

Considering the "beyond pornographic" images did not indicate illegal wrongdoing  and ... the bloody handprint has been revealed a rumor ... the observation of this witness and ... the existence of the life insurance policy gives me guarded optimism that justice may prevail for Robyn Gardner.

Well, since Gary was at the beach when he called then maybe the fisherman did not see him or see them.  It would be important to know if he returned alone.

I keep wondering if there's anything to this...would they just make it up?   ::MonkeyConfused::

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1108/17/ng.01.html

 ::snipping2::

Also, video surveillance emerges, Giordano fumbling around behind the restaurant for several minutes before he goes in to try to report her missing. Now, how does that jive with initial reports that he approached a couple, an unknown couple on the beach, asking them to call 911? How many people did he ask to call 911? And why was he making such a spectacle of looking for her?

 ::snipping2::

GRACE: I want to go through the timeline, Alexis Weed.

He`s having lunch at rum reef with Gardner, who he tells people has taken - she`s taken sleeping pills. That`s around 4:00 in the afternoon. Fast-forward, they have lunch, they`re both bone dry, with no snorkel gear to be seen. At 6:02, just two hours later, he appears where on surveillance video, Alexis.

ALEXIS WEED, PRODUCER, NANCY GRACE SHOW: Right, Nancy, we`re hearing through ABC news that he appears on this surveillance video at 6:02, he`s behind the restaurant where they had that meal and he`s knocking on some shutters on the back of that restaurant, he then at 6:20 is heads to the kitchen, the back kitchen of the restaurant and says to someone there that they need to call police.

GRACE: Well, how does that jive, Martin Savidge? Joining us from Aruba, with the initial reports that he approaches an anonymous couple on the beach begging to use their cell phone at 6:30 to report her missing, that she`s drifted out to sea, Martin.

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, here is how that can go down. First of all, the way that ABC describes all the cameras is not possible because we walked around the place. There are six cameras at the front of the facility. There are none at the back of this facility. So you can`t see what`s going on behind the restaurant.

That restaurant also closes between 5:00 and 5:30. We double-checked that today. So at 6:30, if he had gone there, there was no one there. That`s why he may appear to be rattling on doors or knocking on things. There is no one there at that time. It is closed, which could be why he then may have gone to the beach to get a phone there. The question is why didn`t he have a phone?

GRACE: Tell people in the kitchen to call 911. But that makes sense, Martin Savidge. That makes absolute sense.

Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway


Page 120:  Natalee never returned to the Holiday Inn. We had seen the tapes with a room full of police officials.  These two security guards also do not appear on the Holiday Inn security videos that we were shown.  So why these arrests?  Islanders are outraged.  And so are we.  It’s blatant discrimination.

Page 182:  Helen is very positive.  "It looks good that they will remain in custody" she says.  Then just three hours after she tells me this encouraging news, a devastating call comes from an AP reporter.  Paulus van der Sloot and his attorney are bragging to everyone that all three suspects are getting out day after tomorrow!.  Then all the media start calling.  I call Helen, then FBI agent Bill and the U.S. vice-consul.  None of them have this information. So we tell the media it must be a rumor.  But the word is out all over the island from the defense side that all three suspects will walk.  Four and a half hours after this announcement is made to international media by Joran's father and his defense team, the FBI calls to tell me that it is indeed true.  So the three suspects who were last seen with my daughter, and who offered multiple versions of what happened that night, will go free.   And we are the last ones to find out.

It seems odd to me, with the location and considering the crime in Aruba that they would have multiple surveillance cameras in front, but none in back?  If there are no doors or windows on the back of the building I might understand it, but in Aruba the thieves often go in from the roof, so it still puzzles me that if they're going to have surveillance, they wouldn't have cameras on the entire building.  JADS runs both places from my understanding, and with their inventory (especially the dive equip and liquor) and the remote location; surveillance makes sense.

Suspicion of Gary Giordano mounts in Aruba

(CBS News)  Aruban investigators have postponed until early next week a massive, island-wide search for Robyn Gardner, saying they needed more time to prepare, reports CBS News Correspondent Kelly Cobiella.

It's been 18 days since the 35-year-old from Frederick, Md. vanished.

 ::snipping2::

 :gaah:



Between not examining Giordano's rental car, and taking their sweet ass time to search for Robyn, it's almost as if the Aruba Police are in the business of destroying evidence, or hoping that if they wait long enough it will be destroyed.

It would be interesting to know if they collected any forensic evidence at all from the hotel room, besides Giordano's camera.

Thank you Klaas for moving Robyn to the high profile section. Lemme catch up & see what I missed, that way I won't duplicate anything.

Not to sound condescending but this story just gets creepier & creepier.

My mind has been racing with possibilities since I've seen the back of those buildings and how secluded some areas are.

IMO, they were in this area for a reason, and it wasn't to snorkel.

If they stayed at the Renaissance as most MSM is reporting, or at the Marriott Aruba Resort and Stellaris Casino as some have reported; they drove 15-20 miles to get there.  Past many beaches and restaurants, many better snorkeling areas.

They drove practically from one end of the island to the other, if they were staying at the Aruba Marriott; approximately five miles less if the Renaissance...and Robyn vanishes.

Why?

I hope I have these right, I am not a map person.   :2doh:

Holy cow. Still catching up. Giordano doesn't look too good right about now. Bug I'm wondering if Forester is as good as he perceives. What about Gardner? Have we figured out the correct Kenneth Gardner?

There's several social networking / adult friend finder sites that I came across last week that have connections to Robyn & Gary.

Also, why does the media keep reporting that Robyn went to Aruba with a man she barely knew? That's not true! Not in the least! She saw him off & on, she might have just hidden some of the jucier details from her boyfriend.

I think she was playing them both or else maybe she was involved in something shady, like paid dating.

Oh, one more thing, why is the "race" for Gardner & Giordano listed the way it is on their police records?

Does This say that Taco Stein, who has to report to the Minister of Tourism and his ATA (ATAH) team,  thinks that the protectors of tourism are leaking information to the press? 

Heads up Taco, they are more organized and have a bigger budget than the ALE can dream of.  I am sure they have sent members of tourism over to "help" you.

New Aruba Witness: They Weren't Snorkeling

By Stephen M. Silverman

Monday August 22, 2011 09:30 AM EDT

While Gary Giordano has told police that traveling companion Robyn Gardner disappeared in Aruba after the two had gone snorkeling, a fisherman who saw them contradicts Giordano's claim.

The witness says the couple took a walk along the reef at 4 p.m. and then drove away a short time later without going into the water, reports ABC News.

"We're investigating that material, seeing the relevance to the investigation," said Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Aruban authorities launched a new search Monday for the remains of a missing U.S. woman or evidence against her detained travel companion.

Search teams were seen fanning out in the northeast of the Dutch Caribbean island. Previous efforts focused in the south, near where Maryland businessman Gary Giordano says Robyn Gardner disappeared while snorkeling.

Meanwhile, NBC News reported that a witness had come forward with a story that could unravel Giordano's claims. ::snipping2::

From American Express' website regarding travel policies including accidental death and dismemberment:

 ::snipping2::

3. Provisions Applicable to Travel Accident
Protection
a. Exposure to the elements
Coverage will be provided for an Accidental Death or
Dismemberment as a result of the Covered Person
being unavoidably exposed to the elements while on a
Covered Trip because of the disappearance, sinking,
or wrecking of a Scheduled Airline, or, in regards to
the 24-Hour Accidental Death and Dismemberment
benefits only, the disappearance, sinking or wrecking
of a Scheduled Airline or Common Carrier
Conveyance, car wreck or other unavoidable reason.
b. Remains cannot be found
If the Covered Person’s remains cannot be found
within 52 weeks after the date of an Accident
involving the disappearance, sinking or wrecking of a
Scheduled Airline on which the Covered Person was a
passenger while on a Covered Trip, it will be
presumed, subject to the absence of evidence to the
contrary, that the Covered Person suffered Accidental
Death covered by the Certificate. In regards to 24-
Hour Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefits
only, this provision applies to any circumstances in
which the Covered Person’s remains cannot be found,
unless such circumstance is otherwise excluded by
this Certificate.

https://www295.americanexpress.com/travel-insurance/home.do?aetiSource=G&extlink=pa-aeti-G#99

This info is found at AmericanExpress.com, and provided for information purposes only as a sample Certificate of Insurance for Travel Insurance.  

If Gary Giordano did specify himself as the beneficiary of a travel policy, his relationship to the insured must be stated on that policy, such as fiancee, friend, husband, etc.  If he misrepresented anything in the application process, the policy would be null and void.  These policies appear to be provided through and on line application process.  

It also states that in the event remains are found, the company may request an autopsy.

This type of claim would be a very difficult and lengthy process, IMO.

 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz1VPAwil6Z
Officers having been tracing the movements of Giordano in the hours before Ms Gardner's disappearance, but said they have had trouble identifying him in surveillance video because he frequently changes his toupees.




(CNN) -- Police in Aruba launched a new search on Monday for missing U.S. woman Robyn Gardner not far from the facility where the only suspect connected to the case is being held.
The area, a rough and rocky terrain on the Dutch Caribbean island, is located approximately 2 miles from the Correctional Institute of Aruba.

It was selected as a result of information authorities gained after interrogating Gary Giordano, and other information, said Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein.

Police would not go into details about "other information" they had obtained.
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/am...3A+Americas%29



Giordano is also accused of secretly videotaping himself having sex with women and then posting the pornographic images on the internet.
One woman even claims that Giordano strangled her during sex.

In his interview, Giordano said he ran a temporary manpower agency and did not want to discuss his business income since it varied from month to month. He said that his finances were in good shape, that he had no debt beyond a mortgage and that he paid $600 a month in child support for his two children from a previous marriage.

Robyn Gardner's ex, however was paying $2000.00 a month & was trying to take her back to court to have it reduced
and he has not given any interviews that I am aware of up to this point.


Why would Gary Giordano leave his camera in the hotel and go to the airport to leave Aruba?

Aruban authorities consider next move in search for missing Md. woman
By: Emily Babay | Examiner Staff Writer | Follow her: @emilybabay | 08/22/11 2:36 PM

Aruban officials are pondering their next move in their efforts to find the body of a missing Maryland woman after a new search effort Monday yielded little information.

Fifty to 60 people searched the desert-like area on the island's southern tip for more than six hours for the body of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner, Solicitor General Taco Stein said.

The uninhabited area of brush, rocks and sand is a few miles from where Gary V. Giordano — Gardner's traveling companion who is detained on suspicion of involvement in Gardner's disappearance — reported that the Frederick woman disappeared at sea where the two were snorkeling, Stein said.

He said investigators had no new information based on preliminary results from Monday's search.

Gardner was last seen on the Dutch Caribbean island on Aug. 2. Giordano, of Gaithersburg, was taken into custody as he was trying to leave the airport three days later.

Authorities have been expanding their search from the point where Giordano claimed Gardner drowned. Stein said officials are now deciding what to do next.

"At this point, we searched the area we planned to search," he said. "We're considering our next options."

Monday's search only concentrated on the land.

"There is no indication that the body was dumped in the water," Stein said.

New Search For Missing U.S. Woman In Aruba Comes Up Empty
By the CNN Wire Staff
POSTED: 10:48 am PDT August 22, 2011
UPDATED: 12:50 pm PDT August 22, 2011

SEROE COLORADO, Aruba (CNN) -- Police in Aruba launched a new search Monday for missing U.S. woman Robyn Gardner not far from the facility where the only suspect connected to the case is being held, but no body and no new clues were found, Aruban authorities said.

The area, a rugged terrain on the Dutch Caribbean Island, is covered with cactus and other treacherous desert plants. It is approximately 2 miles from the Correctional Institute of Aruba.

It was selected as a result of information authorities gained after interrogating Gary Giordano, and other information, said Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein.

 ::snipping2::

Stein said police have interviewed several witnesses in the case, but would not confirm or deny new reports suggesting a fisherman saw the couple leave the beach together. Police have previously said no one saw Gardner and Giordano snorkeling.

New search in Aruba for missing US woman yields nothing
Witness comes forward with story that contradicts suspect's claims, NBC reports

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Police in Aruba searched a brushy coastal area for seven hours Monday but found no new leads into the case of a Maryland woman who disappeared on the Dutch Caribbean island, a prosecution official said.

The officers combed through the vegetation around Sereoe Colorado for the remains of the missing woman, Robyn Gardner, or anything that might link her travel companion, Gary Giordano, to her disappearance.

The area that was searched is near the southern tip of Aruba, not far from where Giordano, a businessman from Gaithersburg, Maryland, reported that Gardner disappeared while they were snorkeling on Aug. 2.

Solicitor General Taco Stein said the search, the latest of several in the area, yielded no new information and there are no plans to resume it. He said investigators are focusing on other matters, including the account of a new witness who may have seen the couple on the island and came forward in recent days. Stein said he could not provide further details.

Gosh, I tried to spend time on here twice today but both times I was called away. I have lots of stuff saved on my iPhone & iTouch. Going through it now & trying to put it in some kind of decent order. 

I found a couple things that were interesting but I forget how I found them. Trying to backtrack now.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that Giordano lived on a million $ house when he was married to his ex-wife yet he only has to pay $600 monthly for his children? I find it ridiculously low. Doesn't he have 3 sons with his ex? Something doesn't sound right.

If they were living in a million $ house, then should their net worth match their living situation? Did the inherit money to purchase that house? Were they making money off the record?

Something else that bothers me, and I'm not sure why quite yet, but I find it odd that Forester deals with staffing, just like Giordano does, but neither is "all over" the Internet like you'd think they would be. For Forester & Giordano to both deal with staffing plus be IT literate, you'd think they'd show up alot on the net...but they don't.

It's crazy but it's almost as if they're not using their real names...but they seem to be bc certain sites show them as having gone to certain schools, etc.

Also, who listed University of Phoenix on their Linked In? Was it Gardner? Is there any way to check University of Phoenix graduate degree holders? There's ways to check alumni on most universities, bug University of Phoenix is just one of those online education sites. Sure it's used & accredited, but not usually by the upper echelon educators. If it were for accounting or business, I could care less I guess...as long as the degree didn't come from them for a surgeon working on me. God forbid. Anyway, I just kinda thought it odd that most of these people seem to like living large, so when I saw University of Phoenix, it just seemed out of place for some reason.

Reading this brought tears to my eyes. I know everything about my kids bc I've had tears to study them. If I ever lost my sight, I'd still be ok bc I'd know their smell, their heavy steps, their giggles, etc. The pain this family must be going through is gut wrenching.

Yes, Gardner was University of Phoenix

Giordano has kept his ex in court pretty much the entire time they've been divorced.  If I understand the record correctly SHE even filed at one time to have the child support decreased.  There's no telling what he's put her through.  I don't have the patience to go through it all...it's just sickening imo...but a quick search shows "child support" appears 36 times in the document.  I think it was a huge issue.  The divorce action started in Dec 2001, their last court order was in May 2011...involving child support.

If he's not in jail for the long run, I'm sure she will be thankful when the 14 year old twins are 18...and the child support stops.

I have to wonder if the kids won't be thankful too...JMO

This is the main record of the divorce.

Can you imagine living right around the corner from him...and being his ex-wife?  It gives me the creepies to even think about it...

'Fraud Dog' Linda Webb Sniffs Evidence Investigators Should Be Scratching Around Aruba's Possible Murder Suspect

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the country's leading insurance fraud experts, Linda Webb, said investigators should have a field day combing through a mountain of evidence that could possibly show what Gary Giordano was up to before and after the suspicious disappearance of his girlfriend in Aruba.

Known in investigative circles as the Fraud Dog, the title of a drama series (similar to "America's Most Wanted"), she's developing for television (www.thefrauddog.com), Webb cited key areas  police should be looking into now that a possible motive may have surfaced by Giordano's having taken out a travel/accident insurance policy on the missing woman, Robyn Gardner. 

 ::snipping2::

Webb is concerned about the deadly consequences of dating scams leading to murder for insurance schemes because once criminals in third world countries like Nigeria learn how easy it may be to pull off, "many more will die." Often highly publicized news stories induce other fraudsters to jump into the same cesspool to commit similar crimes.

Good morning monkeys! ::HelloKitty::

Ok, so my husband's correct...which of course I hate admitting this...but he bet me a movie date that I'd fall asleep on Scared Monkeys again. I made a mental nite & everything to log out. Only one day passed, ONE day, & he won... So now I gotta pay for the movies & have to let him choose the flick! Idk what's worse, paying $13.95 per ticket or watching a bloody scary movie. Omg. I'm seriously making a mental bird to look for a scaredmonkeyholic anonymous!  ::MonkeyWink::

Texasmom, thanks for your response last night. I looked at their divorce records last week & saw the sane thing you did. Something about these people bother me. I'm not into conspiracies, I like facts, it's why I can't let things go until I see the info in black & white. I'm wondering how come their lifestyle doesn't match their income. It doesn't make sense that he only pays $600 monthly. They had a million $ house. Even if they had a 60/40 deal going on with the kids, he'd still pay more than that unless HER income blows him outta the water. Nothing adds up. It reminds me of some of Jersey crime families stats. The govt said they had to prove income to keep their houses, cars, yachts bc their purchases could have come from laundered money. Several lost their homes. The latest bust was for that online poker scheme where their funds were being funneled through offshore accounts. Having said that, I wonder if that same kind of scheme could be utilized for online travel bookings &/or adult friend sites.

Pretty interesting to say the least...

Oh, one more thing...it still itches me that Giordano has his race listed the way he does on his court docs. Giordano is an Italian name. Why would he have Arab listed anywhere in there? I'm Italian, Indian & Irish. I'd put caucasion. So to me it doesn't make sense.

This is only a theory...actually this is the first thing that I thought about when I read this case:

Is there anyway that Robyn could have gotten away?  I have not followed Aruba like most of you...is there a way that a boat could have been waiting anywhere out of sight?  Just asking?  Could this have been planned before heading to Aruba?  Only a theory...it does sound more like Gary has done something to her...and I know that her family is hurting and I am sure that they would say that she would never do anything like this and hurt them...but, I am sure they never thought that she had done some of the things that has been exposed recently.  No disrespect at all to Robyn or the family...just a thought.

Last Pictures of Robyn


http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/mystery-aruba-pictures-robyn-gardner-surface-gary-giordano-14361830

Hi Blonde!  ::HelloKitty::   Howya doin' hon? Thanks for the link... Giordano looks thinner in this pic as compared to his boardshorts picture. So, if this surveillance picture was captured just a couple hours before Robyn was reported missing, that means that Giordano had to change into boardshorts before calling the authorities. Plus it was obvious that Robyn was intoxicated, according to their waiter at the restaurant. Could she have been drugged? Plus they introduced themselves as being married. I can't see Robyn going along with that if she really didn't want to, that's just crazy. So her typing on Facebook "This sucks" just seems to be something she may have thrown out there to make Richard Forester think she missed him. I'm sort of leaning towards her stringing Forester along...

Some questions I have in my head:

Could this be an insurance fraud get rich quick scheme by all parties involved? I mean, it kinda doesn't sit right that Forester is doing interviews on every major network bc he misses Robyn, loves her, wants her found...yet he hasn't flown to Aruba at all to search for himself. Beth caught the next flight out to search for Natalee, along with a couple friends, bc they love her & knew something was wrong...but hey Richard hasn't, so why? Just sayin'...

Could Robyn have been sold & trafficked to Venezuela?

Why hasn't Gardner spoken up? I find it odd that they have an upcoming court dare but he's remained mum on the situation.

Isnt it odd that the lady claiming that Giordano wanted to take pics of her daughter in Aruba & also propositioned them for a threesome also seemed to allow her daughter to appear in provocative pictures. She herself did that. Her daughter was thin but she's not now,  and supposedly it was just last year or the year before? Plus the mim's heavy, too, which seems out if character for Gary's m.o., I mean what did they both gain a hundred pounds in a year? It doesn't make sense, especially considering the daughter showed some skin & protruding nips in pics where she was obviously UNDER 18. Seems to me that momma is unscrupulous, let alone Giordano & his disgusting antics.

Isn't it odd that when researching these people, that there are ALOT of Russian, Eastern European & Arabic surnames surrounding Giordano, Gardner & Forester? It's just odd to me.

Is it true that Gary had scratches all over his legs that he was unable to explain? Scratches perhaps caused by trudging through the thorny patches of foliage that are indigenous to aruba?? I feel a strange deja vous that we've been here before regarding the progress or lack thereof.

Yep, according to media reports it's definitely true.

Does anybody remember that protected area on Aruba where it was rumored that JBS buried Natalee? Supposedly this area is protected from digging in general, dwelling & construction...etc. It's thorny there, too, lots of sharp thorny underbrush from what I remember. Could Giordano have gotten rid of Robyn in that area? I mean, maybe he remembers the rumor of where JVS may have put Natalee...even though I always thought Natalee was taken out to sea.

Blonde! Where the heck are you? Lol! Look at her arms compared to his. In every single picture I've seen of Robyn, her arms are very thin. How could her arms appear larger than Giordano's in this shot? Is he farther away from her than what we may assume, therefore making him appear smaller than Robyn? Or could Aruba be up to their old antics?

Gary's shadow is on his right, directly adjacent & under his right foot. Where is Robyn's shadow? Is the pic cut off at the bottom so the shadow is hidden? It seems like they're on the sane angle. Could Robyn be on a step behind Gary? If she was sooo intoxicated, why is Gary walking ahead of her instead of holding her hand or arm in arm?

True.  I don't know who actually said that about the bikini, it was reportedly those who saw them at lunch in Rum Reef.  I think Martin Savage may have reported it, but I'm not sure.  I heard it on Nancy Grace too, but I'd already heard it before her show.

Robyn Gardner Knew The Man Suspected To Be Behind Her Disappearance In Aruba For Years
Posted on Aug 23, 2011 @ 04:00PM 


By Radar Staff

Missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner did not just pack up and go to Aruba with a man she barely knew. She had actually been friends with prime suspect Gary Giordino for more than two years, a close girlfriend exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com.

"Their relationship spanned back a long way, they'd known each for a couple of years," Gardner's friend Lianne Delawter told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.


There have been reports that the pair recently met on an internet dating site and it's been rumored that Giordino may have even paid the pretty blonde to go away with him, but Delawter said that is simply not true.

"They met on Match.com and went out a 'date' but it didn't work out and they stayed friends. It wasn't a date-date, they were never seeing each other."


After losing her job as a dental assistant, 35-year-old Robyn was feeling so sad that when Giordino acted as a knight in shining armor offering to take her away, she jumped at the chance for a Caribbean vacation.

"She was going through a lot of stuff, she was feeling down in the dumps, when you get to a certain age you don't bounce back from things as quickly as when you're younger. It was one of those change your life moments and she wanted to get out of dodge," explained Delawter. "Here comes Gary putting on the charm and offers her a vacation using his Marriott points, and says, 'Lets get away.'


"She wasn't the type of girl to go away with someone she didn't know at all. She was very trusting and always saw the good in someone, saw light where there was darkness, but she wasn't naive. They were just going as friends," said the waitress from Frederick, Maryland. "If this was a Sex and The City plot no one would think it was strange but everyone wants to judge something that isn't  there."

Robyn lied to her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Richard Forester, about where she was going though, saying she was off on a family vacation to Orlando rather than Aruba, but that doesn't mean there was anything going on between her and Giordino, according to Delawter.


"Why should Richard know about Gary? Does everyone need to know everything about your life? Sometimes things come up on a need-to-know basis," said her pal, who has known Robyn for eight years and been close friends with her for the past 18 months. "When you are just dating someone and you're not exclusive then I don't feel like I have to tell you everything. Why cause drama when there doesn't need to be?"

Although Lianne wasn't worried when she heard about the trip, Gardner's roommate, Christina Jones, wasn't happy about it. "Christina didn't like the texts that he sent to Robyn when she canceled going on cruise with him earlier in the year," explained their mutual friend. "He got very angry about it. Robyn forgave him but it was very, very upsetting for Christina."

 ::snipping2::

"He has got to be detained until we find her. He's Slim Shady in a shady country. There are so many, 'What ifs?' Unless he speaks or we find Robyn then just we don't know," said Lianne, who hasn't ruled out the chance that Gary sold her friend to traffickers. "You can't describe the pain and anxiety eating away at you just not knowing what happened, either way your friend is hurting," she revealed.

My understanding is they are doubting that either of them ever went into the water.  The camera captures the car going down there...leaves in about ten minutes...and then goes back down there close to dark and they believe that's when he made the report of Robyn missing.

They never found flippers, and doubt he was out there swimming in his tennis shoes?

Giordano must have stated seeing the Aruban flag at or close to nightfall in one of his statements, but the businesses in the area take the flags down around 4 pm?

Robyn Gardner's Last Photo Less Than Two Hours Before She Vanished

Just an opinion here, but she doesn't look drunk at all--and to me, it looks as though he is aggrivated, angry, and really ticked off.   They aren't even walking together.

Witness says dressed up Robyn Gardner did not look like she was going snorkelling on day she disappeared as it emerges she met suspect years before on dating website

By RACHEL QUIGLEY

Last updated at 12:35 AM on 24th August 2011

Missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner was said to be both drunk and 'perfectly put together' at the restaurant she and suspect Gary Giordano ate in hours before they supposedly went snorkelling as it emerged she has known him for years after meeting on Match.com.

An employee at the restaurant said he thought it odd that Robyn, 35, would have been going snorkelling that day due to the clothes she was wearing and the way her hair and makeup were done.

Other eye witnesses said she seemed woozy and did not touch her salad when she ate in the Rum Reef Bar and Grill with the man suspected of killing her

A picture of the 35-year-old obtained by ABC shows her leaving the restaurant in 'her favourite dress', according to her family.

The time the picture was taken was 4.12pm, less than two hours before Giordano, 50, reported her missing.

If security video affirms the alleged observation of a witness who has come forward ... if security video can dispute the statement of Gary Giordano regarding the snorkling/drowning incident ... the implication is that the Robyn Gardner case parallels the Natalee Holloway case.

Will the outcome of the Robyn Gardner case also reflect the outcome of the Natalee Holloway case?  Will Robyn's mother be plunged into the same nightmare as Beth Holloway ... a nightmare where there is no awakening?

On the other hand ... could it be that Aruban justice will prevail for Robyn Gardner?  Afterall ... Gary Giordano is not the son of an Aruban/Dutch elite.

New Witness Disputes Gary Giordano's Claims in Case of Missing Woman in Aruba
Aug. 21, 2011


<snipped>

The witness says he was fishing on a beach on that day and he saw the two take a walk along the reef around 4 p.m., but they never went in the water.

A short time later, the couple drove away and he never saw either of them again, the witness says.

"If this witness ends up being accurate and correct as to locations of both Mr. Giordano and Ms. Gardner, it's yet another piece of evidence that's inconsistent with his story," said ABC News consultant Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent.

Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway


Page 120:  Natalee never returned to the Holiday Inn. We had seen the tapes with a room full of police officials.  These two security guards also do not appear on the Holiday Inn security videos that we were shown.  So why these arrests?  Islanders are outraged.  And so are we.  It’s blatant discrimination.

Page 182:  Helen is very positive.  "It looks good that they will remain in custody" she says.  Then just three hours after she tells me this encouraging news, a devastating call comes from an AP reporter.  Paulus van der Sloot and his attorney are bragging to everyone that all three suspects are getting out day after tomorrow!.  Then all the media start calling.  I call Helen, then FBI agent Bill and the U.S. vice-consul.  None of them have this information. So we tell the media it must be a rumor.  But the word is out all over the island from the defense side that all three suspects will walk.  Four and a half hours after this announcement is made to international media by Joran's father and his defense team, the FBI calls to tell me that it is indeed true.  So the three suspects who were last seen with my daughter, and who offered multiple versions of what happened that night, will go free.   And we are the last ones to find out.

... When Helen calls, I stand in a corner of the hotel room, phone to my ear, tapping my head against the wall over and over.  Tears fall hard.  "I'm done, Helen.  I'm done.  No justice for Natalee in Aruba.  I'm done."

Robyn Gardner's Last Photo Less Than Two Hours Before She Vanished


Missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner was heavily intoxicated when she was last seen alive in an Aruban restaurant, less than two hours before her companion reported her missing during an evening snorkeling trip.

Eyewitnesses said Gardner seemed woozy at the restaurant and barely ate her salad.

I agree with Blink.

Could it be that Gary Giordano did not anticipate Aruban investigation challenging his snorkling/drowning account of a tourist?

Could it be that Gary Giodano and/or Aruban investigation did not anticipate the media becoming an issue?

Think about it. If Richard Forester had not contacted the NHRC would Giodano had caught that plane home to the States and … the disappearance of Robyn Gardner would have been categorized in Aruban case files as an accidental drowning. In other words ... Case Closed!

And the biggest asset of the Natalee Holloway Resource Center is that we provide is we send out the media release. And as we al know, media is essential in helping to solicit tips and eyewitnesses. So we got that ball rolling through Richard`s efforts.

At this point in time both Beth Holloway and Blink are on the same page.

I also believe that justice just might prevail for Robyn Gardner.  There is no reason to establish a cover up in this case.  Gary Giordona ... the main suspect ... is not the son of the an Aruban/Dutch elite.

Beth, when you look at the steps that had been taken. They`ve stopped him. I mean he went passed the Aruban -- sort of arm of law and they were able to bring him back in. Do you get a sense that perhaps they`re doing a better job?

HOLLOWAY: I do. I`m still guarded though and I do hope they prove me wrong and show me what Dutch law can really do with a perpetrator on their island. I am very encouraged so far. So I just want to -- just see how this proceeds.

Interesting premise that maybe this was an insurance scam gone bad. Some one would have to be insane to sign a life insurance policy and make some one they bearly know the beneficiary.

Hi Dana

I have missed ya!  I hope you are having a good summer.  The West of our great country is finally being afforded some sunshine.

Thanks to you and your guests.  I don't alway agree but insights are definitely food for thought.  Could the disappearance of Robyn Gardner have been an insurance scam?  Consider Gary Giordona's history in relation to women ... I don't think so but ... until the truth is revealed ... speculation is where it is at.

I don't think Robyn was involved in an insurance scam.  She may not have realized what she was signing when she signed that insurance form...if she did indeed sign it.  Gary is the con artist, and he caught Robyn in a vulnerable time...lost her job...ex taking her back to court over alimony...fighting with her boyfriend...probably drinking more than usual; and he took advantage of it.  Whatever he had planned on that first trip, that he was so angry about when she ended up not going; was probably not near what he had planned on this trip.  She stood him up, and I don't see him being the type to forgive and forget; especially after the way her friend said he acted about it.  He's had something in the works for a while, for that time period.  The pictures are only part of it, imo.  I hope we eventually find out exactly what it was, and where Robyn ended up in all of it.

Suspect in Aruba claimed money woes
Giordano accused of forging documents
By Andrea Noble
-
The Washington Times
Tuesday, August 23, 2011

A Gaithersburg man being held in Aruba in connection with the disappearance of his traveling companion had been having financial difficulties in the months before he vacationed on the Caribbean island, according to court documents.

Gary Giordano, 50, had asked a judge in January to lower his child support payments, citing recent financial distress, and had filed and later dropped an $11.5 million lawsuit against a company based on what the company contended were forged documents.

 ::snipping2::

Gary Giordano, 50, had asked a judge in January to lower his child support payments, citing recent financial distress, and had filed and later dropped an $11.5 million lawsuit against a company based on what the company contended were forged documents.

Suspicions were raised last week about whether there was a financial motive for the disappearance of Mr. Giordano’s travel companion, Robyn Gardner, after news reports surfaced that Mr. Giordano had taken out a $1.5 million accidental-death insurance policy and tried to collect on the policy two days after she went missing.

......

Court documents filed in Montgomery County Circuit Court and obtained by The Washington Times show that despite maintaining a million-dollar home, the twice-divorced father of three sons this year petitioned a family court judge to lower the amount he paid monthly to support his children.

A January filing says that when his child support was set in 2009, Mr. Giordano’s monthly income in 2009 was $4,827 — or about $58,000 annually. At that time, he was paying $616 per month.

“Since that order, there has been a material change in circumstances,” the court filing says.

It asks a judge to reconsider the child-support amount Mr. Giordano paid based on 2010 financial records that indicated his earnings were “significantly lower than the figure used for calculating support at the last hearing.”

The request was dismissed.

.....

Court records also indicate Mr. Giordano, who runs the temporary staffing business Leverage LLC out of his home, filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit on behalf of his company in January 2010 against another staffing company, claiming he was owed money for placing an employee at federal home mortgage lender Freddie Mac in 2007.

But the defendant company in the case contended that Mr. Giordano forged a signature to fraudulently produce the contract that he later sued the company over.

An executive with the defendant company said in court papers that Mr. Giordano’s girlfriend at the time — who was also a friend of the executive’s wife — had told him that “Gary asked her if she could get a copy of my signature.”

If this is Robyn's boyfriend, he had over $100,000 in judgements against him in December 2010.

$103,705.83 to be exact.  $43,000 of it child support arrears.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

I found lots of links that I saved & went through last night. I'm wondering if some of these staffing & recruiting companies are a front for pimping out escorts. Several questionable hosebags seem to be using Teitter to market their "goods".

My son has a 10:15 MRI appt so I have to logoff.

One thing I'd like to know is if Forester & Giordano have Canadian connections. It seems like there's several contacts from Canada. Isn't prostitution legal in Canada?

Also, I think in the court docs, it just defaults under White Caucasion Arab etc. Maybe it's the category of the box checked?

Gotta run... Bbl.  ::MonkeyBike::

Robyn Gardner's Last Photo Less Than Two Hours Before She Vanished
Aug. 23, 2011


Missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner was heavily intoxicated when she was last seen alive in an Aruban restaurant, less than two hours before her companion reported her missing during an evening snorkeling trip.

<snipped>

Eyewitnesses said Gardner seemed woozy at the restaurant and barely ate her salad.

In addition, a restaurant worker told ABC News he thought it was odd to hear that the couple went snorkeling because Gardner "seemed so perfectly put together," referring to her clothing, hair and make-up.

ABC News has obtained the last known pictures of Gardner, 35, to be taken before her disappearance at the Rum Reef Bar & Grill in the Baby Beach area of the island on the Aug. 2 evening that she vanished

Gardner's cousin, Kelly Reed, said the family recognized the dress was Gardner was wearing in the photo. And Gardner's live-in boyfriend in Maryland, Richard Forester, told ABC News that it was Gardner in her favorite dress, "with 100 percent certainty."

<snipped>

The latest witness account and the photographs of Gardner and Giordano together emerged just one day after a witness came forward to dispute Giordano's account of what happened the day Gardner disappeared.

The witness says he was fishing on a beach on that day and he saw the two take a walk along the reef around 4 p.m., but they never went in the water.

A short time later, the couple drove away and he never saw either of them again, the witness says.

Robyn Gardner's Boyfriends Clash Over Her Last Hours

By MATT GUTMAN (@mattgutmanABC) , SABRINA PEDUTO, ALEXA MIRANDA and JASON STINE

Aug. 24, 2011

Robyn Gardner was groggy from sleeping pills, vodka and a meal when she went into the water in Aruba where she quickly cut her toe, forcing her out of the water, a source told ABC News.

But the 35-year-old Maryland woman ventured back into the water a second time, and that was when she was allegedly caught by treacherous currents, her companion Gary Giordano has told police, the source said.

Giordano's version of events emerged as doubt has been cast by witnesses in recent days that Gardner ever went into the water. A witness at the restaurant where the couple were last seen together expressed surprise at the claim that Gardner went snorkeling because of the obvious effort she had put into her hair and make-up that evening.

A second witness claims to have seen the couple stroll on the beach, but not enter the water.

 ::snipping2::


They also noted in the video that a helicopter flying over noted two sharks and a large sea turtle in the area Robyn was reportedly snorkeling in.

They stated that a spot of blood was found by where the vehicle had been parked and was still being analyzed.

Exactly. I'm still not thinking they really went snorkeling. I mean, Robyn had extensions AND Gary had a hairpiece. The salt water would destroy the adhesive. How coincidental that Giordano suddenly says something about Robyn cutting her toe, so could it be that he's had ample time to think of how to give reason to the blood found on or by a rock? DNA probably came back that matched Robyn, so he had to quick come up with something that would cover why a spot of her blood was found there.

I'm wondering if this is a scheme to make money off of insurance. For all any of us know, they could ALL be involved. In Aruba, no body = no evidence, so Giordano could be let go...however, if this is about insurance fraud, then Robyn could be missing for a few months before Giordano receives the payout & then Robyn could acquire a new id. Not that I think it's what happened, but with all the questions surrounding these peeps, it sure can't be ruled out...yet.

Diane Diamond is wondering with Robyn's job loss, if she went in with Giordano to cash in faking her death for the insurance money and things went "awry" or possibly she may still be alive.

Interesting premise that maybe this was an insurance scam gone bad. Some one would have to be insane to sign a life insurance policy and make some one they bearly know the beneficiary.

“Their relationship spanned back a long way, they'd known each other for a couple of years,” Gardner's friend Lianne Delawter told RadarOnline.com.

Investigators are also looking into Giordano's claim that Gardner took out a travel insurance policy for up to $1.5 million before the Aruba getaway and named Giordano the beneficiary of the policy.

The ABC News source says a witness was present when Gardner named Giordano as the beneficiary on the travel insurance policy, and that Gardner was fully coherent when she signed it.

Police Reveal 'Bloody Handprint' Evidence In Aruba Mystery Disappearance Doesn't Exist
Posted on Aug 21, 2011 @ 06:00AM


A purported key piece evidence in the mysterious disappearance of missing American woman Robyn Gardner doesn't exist, police have revealed.

Blood was reportedly found on a rock near the restaurant not far from where Gardner and her traveling companion Gary Giordano were last seen together.

PHOTOS: Richard Forester And Robyn Gardner

But Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein said in an interview Saturday night: "The detail about the hand print and blood is not true."

"That is not something that we have found," the Solicitor General said, adding: "Let me put that to rest as that only hinders the investigation."

Speaking to Judge Jeanine Pirro on Fox News' Justice with Judge Jeanine, Stein also shed new light on the graphic photographs that authorities found on Giordano's camera, showing the missing Maryland woman in various sexual positions.

"I'm told there is no sign of duress at all (in the images)," General Stein told Judge Pirro.

One law enforcement source had described the images as "beyond pornographic," though General Stein stopped short of that description.

He said, "Those photos were explicit. That's all I have said and that is all I am going to say. I have not seen the pictures myself."

Gary Giordano Tried to Collect Insurance Payout on Robyn Gardner: Sources
Aug. 18, 2011


Gary Giordano, the only suspect in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner in Aruba, tried to redeem an insurance policy on Gardner that could be worth up to $1.5 million, according to reports.

Giordano moved to collect on the policy, which named him as beneficiary, within two days of reporting Gardner missing, the Associated Press reported.

Police were investigating an accidental death insurance policy for Gardner that named Giordano, 50, as the beneficiary, ABC News had reported earlier this week.

Three days after the search for Gardner began, Giordano got within feet of leaving the country before he was stopped at Aruba's airport, after passing through security and U.S. customs -- where he told customs he had to change flights because of weather, and inexplicably told officials that his travel companion was "taking another flight."  When arrested, authorities say Giordano was drenched in sweat.

I'm with you on this possibility of an insurance scam...that was the FIRST thing that I thought when I read this case.  I said it way back.  I may be wrong but never hurts to at least look at it from this angle. I noticed in the beginning that the bf said that he knew that she went with a guy...then he said no with family...well the guy's is gay...and so on...would she have really signed an insurance policy for THAT much money to a guy that has no relation to her?  She signed her own and the beneficiary as her mother, right?  A lot of people could benefit financially from this...if she is never found...could she have gotten away? Is she still alive?  Or did something go wrong during all of this?  Hmmmm....?

Hi Janet! How's that new grandbaby? Kisses to your sweet cherubs!  ::MonkeyKiss::

Considering Robyn Gardner was being "taken" on an Aruban getaway by Gary Giordano ... could it be that she was not paying attention to the paperwork she was signing.  My hubby and I just signed some paperwork at our bank without reading the fine print.  We assumed that the terms were what had been outlined by our advisor.  We both realize it is not wise practice but ... we signed nevertheless.

Grandbaby?  I am still flying high.  Currently DIL, baby and grandson are in Quebec for a week visiting family.  Son was force to stay home and work.  He misses his family terribly.  I am receiving email images from DIL documenting the holiday with "other" grandparents and ... I am sooo jealous.

JULIA RENFRO, EDITOR, ARUBA TODAY: Well, it’s not really what I believe, but I did speak to the Commissioner Dompig  earlier today, and I asked him, "What did you mean by they hurt the investigation?" And he said he’s not blaming them specifically for anything, but that their attacks via the U.S. media certainly changed the tide of the investigation, basically, pressuring the police to make what they felt, believe it or not, premature arrests of the suspect.

Public Prosecutor is investigating confidential information leaks in regards to Gary Giordano case

Local NBC Affiliate ATV spoke with Mr. Taco Stein of the Public Prosecutor's office in relation to confidential information that is being leaked to the US Media particularly ABC News.

Mr. Stein says that they are very worried that very sensitive information has been published by ABC. They will start an internal investigation to see who is leaking this information. Stein says:" We are frustrated,annoyed and angry". Unemployment and/or imprisonment can be some of the consequences to finding the one(s) responsible. Gary Giordano has access to cable in jail and therefore can come across information that was not intended for publication.

He might want to start by looking at some of the local reporters who shall remain nameless but who's name rhymes a bit with "foolia rent-a-ho"

Janet, you have a point there. Maybe Robyn was too excited about going on the trip that she just thought she was signing something as standard procedure, therefore didn't read it all the way through.

You live in Canada. Right? Do you know the Canadian laws on offering & soliciting sex for sale, most importantly forming those connections being formed electronically on the net?

I still can not help but be puzzled by the fact that Robyn told the man that she is involved with and supposedly loves so many fibs...I am thinking that there is a lot more secrets that Robyn was keeping from him than he knows...I wonder if we will ever get the answers of what really happened to Robyn..for her family's sake I sure hope so.  Sad sad story of a young woman gone missing.....Again!  Prayers for Robyn...

Not that he can do much, but I think if I was the boyfriend, I would be making a trip to Aruba to see what the heck he can find out...wouldn't you all go if at all affordable? I wouldn't be able to stand being so far away...who has Robyn's clothes and belongings? I would want to get that stuff

Cookie, something I can't get over is the fact that both Forester AND Giordano are shady. Forester is listed as a recruiter and Giordano is listed as a temporary manpower staffer. Both of these guys deal with the Internet & are IT literate, yet they're not plastered all over the net. For those that may not realize this, pimps advertise as recruiters & temp svcs all the time. Craig's List & the Want Ads used to be the main mo, now Twitter & Facebook are the main avenues used. I'm not "suggesting" anything, just stating an observation. I am a member of The Polaris Project and I'm against any & all forms of human trafficking. The thing I find mist surprising about Robyn's disappearance is the fact that Forester is sooo outspoken, has traveled all over granting interviews, yet the one place he didn't travel to is Aruba to search for the woman he's in love with.  Yeah, kinda sketchy if ya ask me, especially when Forester's court docs are taken into consideration.

Nope honey, you're not the only one. I feel the same way.

I have no idea I'd Forester could be involved, I kinda don't think he is, but I do think he knows more than what he's saying. He also has 3 kids, right? Same as Giordano? Did you see all the court docs I posted today? Wow. Forester is just as shady as Giordano afaic. I hope Robyn is still alive. Sadly I think something happened to her, but what? Was she murdered? Was she trafficked to Venezuela?

I really don't think she was trafficked because of her age. They usually want girls not 35yo women.

Yeah, you guys are right. I guess I'm just hoping she wasn't murdered, ya know? I mean, I have no idea if she was escorting or not, but even if she were she doesn't deserve to die. Justice should still be served regardless. I think her friend Mike said it very eloquently...to reserve judgement about her less than stellar choices. Either way she needs to be found, Godspeed.

I don't understand the modeling thing. Most models start as teens and end their careers by 35...she seems to be starting out at probably 30. Just seems odd to me.

Sometimes modeling is a front for soft porn, porn and escorting. Alot of times it's how they get lured into doing the questionable stuff. A guy walks up to somebody that looks ok, maybe a little makeup to make them a little more photogenic, get acquainted with them so they learn to trust the guy that's telling them all this sweet stuff, then bam they're hooked. Some people prey on these women that long to be in pictures. They sell them on things they wanna hear.

Perhaps it is the 'type' of modeling she was doing.  She isn't not a 'classic' model.

Sorry, I just don't see her as a model. Nit a serious one in the up & up. She may have been nice enough, but there's other factors to consider.

The "models" we all see on Model Mayhem are not your Ford or Elite models. They're usually peeps that have dreams to get into modeling, acting or photography but couldn't make it with the bigwigs. They're your everyday pay a "Barbizo"n or Goth Rocker video model. Alot end up in soft porn.

Personally I think she's pretty in most of her pictures and her smile is amazing, bet it would light up a room...but no she's not a classic model per se. She's not tall enough, forehead too high, boobs too big with her implants, feet too large according to that last security pic, nostrils too open, etc.

Please dint take any of that out of context. I modeled as a teen & in my young 20's. I couldn't make it bc of my height. I decided to go to school to be a nurse...which I didn't finish due to a horrible breakup which is another story!

All I'm saying us that her perspective contacts would tear her apart before they'd work with her. They do it to almost all models. When you factor in her age, it also works against her. They would look at her complete profile to admire straight lines & pick apart bumps. Her tatts would work against her as far as classic goes. They'd look at her height, waist, symmetrical features, hip bones must protrude. The list goes on.

I hope Robyn wasn't murdered either Titch.   I was only agreeing with Donks that I don't think she was trafficked, due to her age.  I've not said anything about Robyn being involved in the sex trade, and if she is/was, it doesn't mean she deserves to be harmed or killed.  I believe victims  of crimes deserve justice.  ::justice2NJ::

Kw what I think Nuffy? I think it's a Shane that lots of things happen to people due to the lifestyles they live. It's a shame. If something heinous happened to Robyn, I guess it could be a good thing she doesn't have children bc it sure does seem like she's gotten herself mixed up in something yucky, which ultimately could have subjected them to the same misgivings.

She was supposed to be in Orlando with her parents. Gardner, 35, told Forester, 40, she couldn't talk, but the next morning she emailed him to say her parents had surprised her with a family trip to Aruba, Forester tells PEOPLE.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20517361,00.html

??? what time did this email take place on August 2?????

Tuesday, Aug 2, 2011:
2:05 a.m., she posted a message on his Facebook wall saying simply, "This sucks."
He [Forester] wrote back, "inbox me."
Then, 10 hours later, he wrote "Where r u baby??"

"I emailed her the rest of the day trying to get in touch with her," says Forester, a Washington, D.C., headhunter.

3:00 p.m. - "She sent me an inbox message on Facebook around 3 p.m. Tuesday, saying, 'Don't worry. I care about you I love you we'll talk and sort things out when I got back,' " he says.

Robyn Colson

I don't know if it's legit or not, but if it is; what does that mean?  

The next post shown from Robyn is the Aug 2, 2:05am...this sucks

I copied it from another site, and would post it but my internet has been down; and I'm not able to get into photobucket at the moment.  I'll try again later.

The witness says he was fishing on a beach on that day and he saw the two take a walk along the reef around 4 p.m., but they never went in the water

TWO HOURS LATER

6:02 - she was reported missing
 Giordano, 50, is seen in surveillance video at 6:02 p.m.

There is a snapshot that looks like it's from Robyn's facebook wall that says this:

Robyn Colson
the 16.  I can communictate here.
August 1 at 5:02pm


I don't know if it's legit or not, but if it is; what does that mean?  

The next post shown from Robyn is the Aug 2, 2:05am...this sucks

I copied it from another site, and would post it but my internet has been down; and I'm not able to get into photobucket at the moment.  I'll try again later.

Titch - try uninstalling the virus protection software and installing AVG free for your anti-virus program.  It takes up much less space than some of the others. 

That's exactly what I'll do! AVG works just as good as Norton! I was trying to download the whole security package on the computer bc I do alot of banking, bill paying, purchases online...the pkg Comcast has uses sooo much memory! I have the system backed up already on a portable hard drive so I don't even need that part of the pkg, but there's no way to only choose what I need. I can't stand Comcast since Xfinity took over. Too much crap with it!

Last ot and thanks again.

Ps- this is why it's taken me so long to get the twitter profiles in order. They're doing something shady Klaas. Seriously.

Did a text message seal her fate? Robyn Gardner 'killed after suspect read text sent in Aruba telling boyfriend she loved him'
Last updated at 8:03 PM on 24th August 2011


An American woman missing in Aruba was killed after the man she was travelling with read a text she sent to her boyfriend telling him she loved him, it has been reported.

Shocking new details have emerged in the case of Robyn Gardner about the final hours before the 35-year-old dental assistant from Maryland disappeared on August 2.

Police reportedly believe her travelling partner Gary Giordano, who she met on Match.com, brutally killed her after spotting a text she had written to her boyfriend back home, saying: 'I love you'.

Md. businessman held in woman's death in Aruba had history of troubled relationships


<snipped>

Jeanette Farago, a former neighbour, started dating Giordano around the time of his second divorce. She said Giordano was charismatic but could become angry and possessive, though she said she never felt physically threatened. Once, he wanted to take her on a cruise but became irate when she didn't want to go, she said, a situation Gardner also found herself in, according to a friend.

Farago said Giordano insisted on having her email password so he could ensure she was not seeing anyone else. If she said she was going to the grocery store, he would want photographic proof. Sometimes, she said, he would spy on her and text her details of her outfit so she knew he was watching. He even hid in the woods behind her home to watch her, dressing in a deer costume, she said

Md. businessman held in woman's death in Aruba had history of troubled relationships
The Associated Press Aug 13, 2011 12:50:00

 
GAITHERSBURG, Md. - The man Aruban authorities suspect was involved in the death of his travel companion while visiting the Dutch island courted other women with his blue-green eyes, tall physique and offers of cruises and vacations, and his $1.3 million stone mansion in this upper-class Washington suburb.

But Gary Giordano's ex-romantic interests say the allure was only surface-deep.

"He can't control his anger," his first wife, Sharon Cohen, wrote in court papers in 2001.

The Stephany Flores Case

Van der Sloot Confesses
DUTCHMAN SAYS HE KILLED PERUVIAN WOMAN IN FIT OF RAGE
updated Jun 8, 2010 7:38 AM CDT


<snipped>

Peruvian police have obtained what Aruba couldn't: a murder confession from Joran Van der Sloot in the killing of a young woman. The Dutchman has admitted killing Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room, a Peruvian government official tells MSNBC.

Van der Sloot says he broke her neck in a fit of rage when she used his laptop computer without permission and discovered he was involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, according to reports in the Peruvian media.

"I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life," Van der Sloot is quoted as saying.

Police have also discovered naked photos of Robyn with Giordano on his digital camera, and the pictures are “beyond pornographic,” according to People magazine.

“You only see organs,” Julia Renfro, the editor-in-chief of Aruba Today said, explaining that it was unclear if the acts were consensual. “You don’t know if she is awake. There are other pictures where she is posing naked.”

Robyn Gardner, Bethesda woman missing in Aruba
August 8, 2011 - 07:20 pm


The 35-year-old vivacious woman hasn’t been heard form in six days. She was last seen Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Gardner, who lived and worked in Bethesda, left for Aruba on July 31st. Richard Forester says they had been dating for two and a half years, but quarreled before she left. He received his last e-mail from Gardner Tuesday, three hours before she was reported missing.

"The last message I got from her was ‘I love you,’” Forester said. “We will talk and sort things out when I get back,” Gardner wrote.

Forester thought Gardner went with a friend, but now believes she had a romantic relationship with her companion. The man notified Aruban authorities Gardner was missing. He said a current pulled her out to sea while snorkeling, according to an account in a local newspaper.

“I just don't think she was snorkeling. I think something has happened at this person's hand,” Forester alleges.

Robyn Gardner's Last Hours: Conflicting Reports From Suspect Gary Giordano And Witnesses
First Posted: 8/24/11 05:46 PM ET Updated: 8/24/11 05:46 PM ET

The man detained in Aruba as a suspect in Robyn Gardner's disappearance allegedly claims that the missing woman went swimming twice on the evening when she vanished.

Gary Giordano says that even though Gardner was groggy from vodka and sleeping pills, his travel companion went swimming two times on Aug. 2, a source told ABC News.

The first time, Gardner cut her toe and returned to shore. The second time, a strong current pulled her out to sea, the source quotes Giordano as saying.

Another ABC source reportedly backed up Giordano's version of events. A third source told the network that the suspect and Gardner never took a dip.

Another unnamed witness who spotted Gardner and Giordano at a restaurant just before she disappeared told ABC News it was unlikely she would have gone swimming, considering her fancy hairstyle and make-up.

Robyn Gardner's Boyfriend Fears For The Worst, Reveals Last Facebook Messages She Sent
Posted on Aug 11, 2011 @ 11:00AM


<snipped>

Forester said Gardner had originally told him she was headed to Florida, then sent him an e-mail claiming she was changing her plans and head for Aruba instead.

Forester said his final communications with Gardner to-date came via a Facebook post in which she posted the phrase "This sucks".

“I didn’t get it until the morning when I got to work. I questioned her, but she didn’t respond," Forester said.

Forester said that hours later -- on the day she was reported missing -- Gardner “sent me an inbox message on Facebook saying, ‘I love you, I care about you and we’ll talk about this and sort it out when we get back.’”

The last pictures of Robyn Gardner taken hours before she disappeared as it emerges a text message telling her boyfriend she loved him may have sealed her fate

These are the last photographs of missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner taken hours before she went missing from Aruba, allegedly after going snorkelling with the man who is suspected of killing her after reading a text she sent to her boyfriend telling him she loved him.

Aruba prosecutors released the photographs on Wednesday to help aid potential witnesses on the Dutch Caribbean island and detained Gary Giordano, 50, for another day.

Previously released pictures yielded 'little results', according to officials.

Two pictures of Robyn wearing her favourite dress were taken as she left a restaurant on the afternoon she went missing.

Memory: Aruba prosecutors describe these as 'the last known photos of the woman and the suspect' taken on the day the Maryland woman went missing, to help aid potential witnesses
 ::snipping2::
Meanwhile, it has been reported that police believe the 50-year-old businessman killed the 35-year-old dental assistant after becoming jealous when he read a message she sent to her boyfriend back home saying: 'I love you.'

The sudden moment of anger is said to have spoiled a pre-meditated plan he had made to murder Robyn and dump her body at sea in an attempt to cover his tracks, according to the National Enquirer.

 ::snipping2::
Robyn, who met Giordano online, is not thought to have had a physical relationship with him.
 ::snipping2::

'Police believe Giordano drove Robyn to a nearby area called Seroe Colorado, and either strangled, beat her or tortured her to death after he dragged her into one of 50 abandoned shacks that used to house workers from a once-bustling oil refinery,' the source added.

IF the new theory, that he killed her out of a rage because of her text message to her boyfriend saying that she loved him, is true... then the motive was NOT the insurance.

See what I mean?

IF the reason he killed her, disposed of the body, and went back to the bar dressed and with no evidence on him was a spur of the moment thing... then nobody can say that collecting the insurance was the motive, or that the murder was premeditated.

------

I'm looking at the pictures above, and can't help to wonder... where are the tattoos? She had tattoos along both arms and on her back on the pictures we saw a few days ago.

------

Her face can't be clearly seen on the pictures because she has huge sunglasses, the hair looks like a wig... anyone thinking that it may not be Robyn, but someone who is pretending to be her so they collect on the insurance? Maybe Robyn was murdered way before she was reported missing and the woman he paraded around Aruba was someone else dressed as Robyn.

Sorry, just discussing all possibilities on this.

Good morning monkeys!

This just gets more outlandish by the day. 

If the police really believe that Robyn was murdered, why don't they bring in some dogs to search for her remains? 

But they haven't...........In the absence of evidence of a murder, they are just moving ahead with establishing a motive.

The LEAKED info is escalating in tone.....Now she was BRUTALLY murdered?  Now she was TORTURED? 

What a leap from Giordano premeditated her murder for insurance money, but now he blew his own plan and acted out of rage over a text message.

Going back to what we know, there was only a two hour time window from the time of the last message until Giordano reported her missing.

I am suspicious of any messages, text or facebook posts, supposedly by Robyn while in the company of Giordano.  Any of the said messages could have been made by him from her cell phone. He had access to all of her communication while they traveled together.

Funny how there was "no body" when Natalee went missing, and there was never speculation by the police that she had been "brutally murdered" or "tortured".

This is where I would insert the "exploding head icon".

The last pictures of Robyn Gardner taken hours before she disappeared as it emerges a text message telling her boyfriend she loved him may have sealed her fate

These are the last photographs of missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner taken hours before she went missing from Aruba, allegedly after going snorkelling with the man who is suspected of killing her after reading a text she sent to her boyfriend telling him she loved him.

Aruba prosecutors released the photographs on Wednesday to help aid potential witnesses on the Dutch Caribbean island and detained Gary Giordano, 50, for another day.

Previously released pictures yielded 'little results', according to officials.

Two pictures of Robyn wearing her favourite dress were taken as she left a restaurant on the afternoon she went missing.

I think her mother arrived in Aruba on the 4th of August iirc.  I know she met with police and Giordano because Robyn's brother has commented on Giordano's seemingly odd behavior during that meeting.

I read an article in the past couple days that answered you question.  I am preoccupied right now but will look later.

I believe that the last photos were taken by someone who claimed he was intrigued by the tattoos.  Considering it was the right side of Robyn that was captured in the images and ... considering the above photos you posted ... I somehow believe that it was Robyn who intrigued this guy.

Could it be that Gary Giordona had learned of the communication that Robin Gardner had sent Richard Forester prior to dinner ... communication that had implied a reconciliation?

Could it be that the life insurance policy implies that Robyn's demise while in Aruban was premeditated but ... a moment of uncontrollable rage negated Gary's well thought out plan that could not be disputed?

Did a text message seal her fate? Robyn Gardner 'killed after suspect read text sent in Aruba telling boyfriend she loved him'
Last updated at 8:03 PM on 24th August 2011

An American woman missing in Aruba was killed after the man she was travelling with read a text she sent to her boyfriend telling him she loved him, it has been reported.

Shocking new details have emerged in the case of Robyn Gardner about the final hours before the 35-year-old dental assistant from Maryland disappeared on August 2.

Police reportedly believe her travelling partner Gary Giordano, who she met on Match.com, brutally killed her after spotting a text she had written to her boyfriend back home, saying: 'I love you'.

Robyn Gardner, Bethesda woman missing in Aruba
August 8, 2011 - 07:20 pm


The 35-year-old vivacious woman hasn’t been heard form in six days. She was last seen Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Gardner, who lived and worked in Bethesda, left for Aruba on July 31st. Richard Forester says they had been dating for two and a half years, but quarreled before she left. He received his last e-mail from Gardner Tuesday, three hours before she was reported missing.

"The last message I got from her was ‘I love you,’” Forester said. “We will talk and sort things out when I get back,” Gardner wrote.

Forester thought Gardner went with a friend, but now believes she had a romantic relationship with her companion. The man notified Aruban authorities Gardner was missing. He said a current pulled her out to sea while snorkeling, according to an account in a local newspaper.

“I just don't think she was snorkeling. I think something has happened at this person's hand,” Forester alleges.

When Robyn Gardner's communication with Richard Forester is considered ... it appears that there should be a cell phone with the international calling option.

Robyn's mother went to Aruba within a couple of days of her daughter's disappearance.  I read on this forum yesterday that she has now left the Island.

My hubby's BIL passport expiry date had lapsed when his sister in Japan suffered a massive heart attack.  Passport Canada issued a visa within two days so that he could immediate travel to Japan to be by her side.  That was a year ago and ... thankfully his sister is on the mend.

Giordano searched for Gardner and spoke with police, only deciding to leave Aruba after the woman’s mother arrived in the country and he received permission from a U.S. consulate official in Curacao, the lawyer said.

Is that a Satellite phone in his other hand????? If so, why would he op for a Satellite phone rather then a cell phone or get international calling on his cell phone????

Satellite phones cover all areas and are an important safety item for remote travel.



More likely a beverage bottle with a straw.  They were filling up their own drinks with a "screw driver" mix from the car.  They weren't buying drinks.

Tornado hits Aruba on the north side, causing damages to church school and a few homes. I thank God that no one got hurt, he must be watching over us! It is very scary, I sympathize with the families who were traumatized and all who endured damages to their homes. I hope they get assistance to rebuild their homes, as well as the church and schools. Thank god! also that there were no children at school when this took place.

Aruba: Intense winds damage schools, houses
Associated Press
2011-08-26 05:40 AM 

Authorities in Aruba say severe winds from a passing thunderstorm badly damaged three schools and ripped the roofs off several homes in the southern Caribbean island's northwest. No injuries were reported.
Marck Oduber is a meteorologist with the Dutch island's weather service. He said the damaging winds at daybreak Thursday were from a downburst, or downdraft of wind and rain, during an intense thunderstorm moving from west to east. He ruled out a possible tornado.

Authorities said winds ripped aluminum roofs and shingles off about 10 homes in the district of Noord. Ceilings collapsed at three public schools just after dawn.

Aired August 18, 2011 - 22:00   ET

HILL: The Aruban authorities continue investigating.

Beth, when you look at the steps that had been taken. They`ve stopped him. I mean he went passed the Aruban -- sort of arm of law and they were able to bring him back in. Do you get a sense that perhaps they`re doing a better job?

HOLLOWAY: I do. I`m still guarded though and I do hope they prove me wrong and show me what Dutch law can really do with a perpetrator on their island. I am very encouraged so far. So I just want to -- just see how this proceeds.

Could it be that Aruban/Dutch justice will prevail for Robyn Gardner.  After all ... considering Gary Giordano ... unlike Joran van der Sloot ... is not the son of an Aruban/Dutch elite.

The Robyn Gardner Case

August 25, 2011 10:28 AM
Aruba officials release last known images of Md. woman Robyn Gardner


CBS/WJZ/AP) ORANJESTAD, Aruba - The Office of the Public Prosecutor of Aruba has released the last known images of Robyn Gardner, the 35-year-old Maryland woman reported missing on the island on Aug. 2, and her detained travel companion Gary Giordano.

According to CBS station WJZ, two pictures of Gardner's back were taken as she left a restaurant on the afternoon she went missing. In one photo, Giordano's back is also visible as they depart the Rum Reef Restaurant. Prosecutors also released a photo of a white Toyota Rav 4 that the two rented on the island.

The Natalee Holloway Case

MY CONVERSATION WITH BETH HOLLOWAY-TWITTY


<snipped>

MICHELLE: One of Joran's and PVDS's alibis was that Joran was picked up at the McDonald's. PVDS originally told you the first night you met him that he picked Joran up at 4:00 a.m., but he later gave a statement that he picked Joran up at 11:00 p.m. Do you know if there are security cameras in the McDonald's parking lot to prove this claim?

BETH: On June 5, we asked officials to check to see if there were security cameras, and to this day, nothing has ever been done. No one has looked into it.

I really hope that something will be found in Robyn's case to bring closure to Natalee's.  Not that I think they are related.  I hope that if anything good can come from Robyn's situation, it will be some answers to Natalee's case.

Edit to fix Nat's name.
