Aruba: An island in the storm

Saturday - 10/15/2011, 8:58am  ET

Robyn Gardner, 35, has been missing since Aug. 2 and is presumed dead. (File Photo)


WASHINGTON - Robyn Gardner went missing more than two months ago after traveling to Aruba with Gary Giordano. She is presumed dead, and he has been detained as a suspect since early August.

Giordano, 50, called police in Aruba around 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 to say that he and Gardner, 35, got separated while snorkeling and she never made it back to shore.

Giordano, an owner of a temporary staffing business from Gaithersburg, Md., traveled to Aruba with Gardner, from Frederick, Md., on July 31 and reported her missing two days later. He told police that she disappeared while the two were snorkeling.

He initially assisted the search but was detained at the airport Aug. 5 as he tried to leave Aruba. Authorities said they found discrepancies in his story. Giordano has denied any wrongdoing through his attorney.

WTOP's Del Walters has traveled to Aruba to look at how this latest missing person's case has affected the tiny Caribbean island.

Aruba wants to see itself as a happy place. A warm, sunny place welcoming to tourists from across the world.

But Gardner's disappearance is the second mark on the tiny island's otherwise pristine image. First Natalee Holloway and now Robyn Gardner. In both cases an attractive young tourist disappears, and in both cases, no one can seem to find the body.

Aruba reeling from second tourist disappearance


Birmingham, Ala (WIAT)  First Natalee Holloway, now Robyn Gardner. Tourist dependent Aruba reels behind the headlines.

There are significant differences between the 2005 disappearance of Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway and the 2011 disappearance of Robyn Gardner of suburban Washington.

Natalee was on a graduation trip with friends and classmates from Mountain Brook High School.  She was last seen leaving an Oranjestad bar with three local teens.  Joran van der Sloot emerged as the prime suspect in the case.  He has told a variety of stories about what happened that night...all of which have either been debunked by authorities or later denied by himself. 

Van der Sloot was questioned repeatedly by Aruba authorities but never charged.  Many contend his late father, a local judge, exercised undue influence over the investigation.

Robyn Gardner was in her thirties and travelling to Aruba with Gary Giordano...who she met online.  Giordano says Gardner disappeared while they were snorkeling.  He originally cooperated with local authorities but was arrested when he tried to leave the island.  He's still in custody but his lawyers claim his detention has been unduly influenced by fallout from the Holloway/van der Sloot investigation.

Informant Media to produce ´The Kidnapping of Freddy Heineken´ based on Peter R. de Vries best-selling book


Peter R. de Vries

Informant Media, the Los Angeles-based award-winning film finance and production company, has acquired the rights to Netherlands crime journalist and International Emmy-Award winner (2008) Peter R. de Vries bestselling book on the kidnapping of brewery magnate Alfred Heineken.

Informant Media, under its Informant Europe banner, will produce the film in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Belgium in 2012. Informant partners Judy Cairo and Michael A. Simpson will produce the film. UK-based screenwriter William Brookfield (“Rough Magic”) will write the screenplay.

Bestseller
“The Kidnapping of Alfred Heineken” by Peter R. de Vries has been on top of the Netherlands bestsellers list for more then two decades. It details what has been called “the most notorious kidnapping of the 20th Century” through the unique, first person narrative of Cor van Hout, the ringleader of the kidnapping that resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for an individual at that time. Freddy Heineken and his chauffeur Ab Doderer were kidnapped in 1983 and released on a ransom of 35 million Dutch guldens (about 16 million Euros).

“Peter’s book was brought to my attention by Montecatini Talent Agency early 2010. I was immediately captivated by the extraordinary story,” says Simpson. “I knew that this would make a film that would attract and thrill large movie audiences worldwide. Peter has immense behind-the-scenes knowledge of the kidnapping and his book provides Cor van Hout’s only first hand account of the crime. Peter is an immensely valuable resource as the film’s consultant, and his involvement insures that our film will be the definitive look at this story with a top international director and stars.”                     

True crime
Peter R. de Vries is very proud that his book is being made into a movie for the international market by Informant Media. “Since the book was published there have been other production companies who were interested in making a movie about it, but every time it failed because I wasn’t happy with the way they approached the story. That the book now will be filmed by the prestigious company Informant Media is a dream come true. I’m very glad that the producers want to make this a true crime film instead of a movie based on fiction. Michael Simpson and I are totally thinking alike. I look forward to working with the Informant team on this great project.”

Quant appeal against 15 years in prison

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14 2011 10:26


The myrtle Rozario: Relatives of Juan Junior 'Blue' ol waiting outside the court after just inside the sentence of fifteen years in prison heard.

ORANGE CITY - Juan Junior "Blue" Service is an appeal against the fifteen years in prison by the judge imposed on him this morning. That his lawyer said after pronouncing the verdict. The court will attempt to kill (to wife Chaldira Vis), attempted murder (the father of Vis) and firearms evidence. The Vis family is disappointed, they are fifteen years (the maximum penalty, ed) too little. The Family Service would not comment.

by our reporter

The myrtle Rozario

The court made short shrift of the argument of the defense that it is a crime of passion. "There was absolutely no question of a whim. You acted thought, cool and determined. You knew what you were doing and you shot deliberately, "the judge against Quant. The judge also took off for Quant hard, because one of his sons had told about his murder plans. The children are therefore a lifelong trauma because they are daily confronted with the fact that their mother because their father never could walk, completely helpless and unable to work, said the judge also referred to the "heavy psychological damage Vis, her parents and extended family is affected. It resulted in tears for family members who were present in the courtroom. Quant says that has nothing to remember, the judge sad. "You tried the most valuable person to take, namely life."

The judge said that the injury to Vis in the heaviest category and therefore the maximum sentence of fifteen years is imposed, such as the Public Prosecutor (OM) had demanded. The prosecution explained later in this paper that the maximum penalty for murder and twenty years that an attempt, as in this case, a third of the sentence sounds. So fifteen years the maximum possible.

On appeal

Quant's lawyer, Chris Lejuez, denies that he said that it is a crime of passion. "I have in dealing with the matter said that these events have characteristics of a crime of passion. That is off the table aside by the court. That is all the judges. "Counsel is also the sentence" quite high for a case like this. " Lejuez said that Quant, before he was taken away after the verdict, to let him know that he wants to appeal. "I also had no contact with my client, he is immediately discharged."

Each family escapes

As with the handling of the trial, two weeks ago, sat the courtroom this morning full of family and friends. After the sentence was pronounced, she quickly walked out. Thereby avoided the family of both the Quant family of Vis as the media, they would not talk. They stayed on the other side of the road waiting to attorney Lejuez left the courthouse and spoke briefly with him by then. The family of Vis would be speaking to this newspaper. Father Franklin Vis said his daughter had been given sedatives this morning so they could peacefully the morning slightly through. "I have the difficult task in a moment go home and tell her the verdict." The family is the sentence is too low. "My daughter and the rest of the family, the rest of her life in this manner. Helpless and no longer be independent. But he need only sit for fifteen years. Even shorter, with good behavior. "When asked how it feels for the father to his son that he and his daughter did this, he replies:" He came home to help me with the air conditioning, he redesigned the frames of my house, he even lived with us. So now that he has done, is doing a lot of pain. "

Vis was on March 26 three bullets into her body and pushed Quant a plastic bag over her head. The bullets came through her carotid artery and cervical spine, chest and right jaw. As a result, Vis are now living with a high spinal cord injury. "Everything is paralyzed below her lungs," said her mother Isbelia Vis Maduro earlier against this newspaper. "She is only her head and - with severe disabilities - her arms move."

Tromp Maria's Photos



My name is Jose Manuel Vicenzo Tromp.

I was 30 years of age at the time of my disappearance back in 2007. Many people on the island of Aruba knows what happened to me, but I guess they are afraid to say something or maybe they do not know whom to trust with this information about my disappearance.

At the time of my disappearance I was working on many projects of which the first and most important one was that I started a course, so that I can get enrolled in the University to study law.

I was thinking about doing this long time ago, but then decided to just go for it. During my last days at home I was reading the book "The Color Purple" (by Alice Walker). On my bed I left the book "De roep van de Troepiaal". I did not get a chance to read this one for my Dutch exam in Jan. 2008, because someone decided to change my future without my permission.

The second most important thing I was doing was building my own house, never before in my life I thought I would or could do that, but when I started, o boy I liked doing that, but I can tell you... this was hard work.

Of couse I also had my daily job as a prison guard at the only jail on the island. I knew I would never stay there forever and that's why I decided to start working towards a career change.

I had lots of plans for 2008, but again I have to say other people decided to change my faith, leaving all my plans without being realized and leaving my family and friends in a lot of pain and grieve. I know my family will never stop searching for me, they are determined to continue until they get all answers as to what was done to me and why.......

Peter R. de Vries refused to press screening Heineken movie

Peter R. de Vries has refused at the preview of the Heineken kidnapping, which takes place tonight in Amsterdam. This reports the Algemeen Dagblad today.

Peter R. De Vries was the TV show Nieuwsuur the press screening attending and his vision for the film business. Also wanted to examine the extent Vries film based on the book written by him, the Heineken Kidnapping.

A Film Society Film de Vries has not invited for the preview. Peter R. de Vries dropped the last few days in the press about the negative film. He suspects that the reason he was not invited to come and see the movie.

Peter R. De Vries finds it "very childish" that he not received an invitation. On Twitter, he wrote "I am not allowed at the press viewing of the Heineken kidnapping Friday with Nieuwsuur. Sure I'm worried how much was stolen ...".

Did someone say Peter de Vries?


 

It appears they are being rude to him--something about a movie concerning a kidnapping.  He probably solved it and they are jealous or something like that.

They were too jealous to do what Informant Media did, but probably used Peter's book anyway.  So of course they couldn't invite him to the screening!

Informant Media, the Los Angeles-based award-winning film finance and production company, has acquired the rights to Netherlands crime journalist and International Emmy-Award winner (2008) Peter R. de Vries bestselling book on the kidnapping of brewery magnate Alfred Heineken.

Informant Media, under its Informant Europe banner, will produce the film in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Belgium in 2012. Informant partners Judy Cairo and Michael A. Simpson will produce the film. UK-based screenwriter William Brookfield (“Rough Magic”) will write the screenplay.

“The Kidnapping of Alfred Heineken” by Peter R. de Vries has been on top of the Netherlands bestsellers list for more then two decades. It details what has been called “the most notorious kidnapping of the 20th Century” through the unique, first person narrative of Cor van Hout, the ringleader of the kidnapping that resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for an individual at that time.

I stand with the girl, Natalee Holloway.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.
