Gary Giordano, Robyn Gardner Disappearance Suspect, Charged With Indecent Exposure
Updated: 05/22/2012
(snip) Around 6 p.m. last Friday, Gary Giordano, 51, was arrested in Maryland when police found him naked in his Cadillac Escalade, the Gaithersburg Patch reported. Giordano and his female companion, 46-year-old Carol Ann Bock of Tennessee, were apparently engaging in sexual activity on a mattress in the car while it was parked in an Annapolis garage. (snip)
how old is he? having sex in a car in a garage on a mattress...speaks volumes about him.
Well, yes. He is a gigoondo nut bar... I remember. ...but what is even more intriguing to me,
he found a "date".
He was in the spotlight for weeks upon weeks. Where did this woman come from? She won the Darwin for 2012!!!!
Carol Ann Bock of Tennessee... COME ON DOWWWWWWN!!!!
She needs to make a little speech.

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.

Gary Giordano arrested for immoral behavior
Wednesday, 23 May 2012 11:30
ORANJESTAD/MARYLAND — Gary Giordano (51), who is still the main suspect in the disappearance and probable death of Robyn Gardner last year, was arrested in the United States last week for ‘immoral behavior’. The police had caught him naked in a car in a parking garage while performing sexual acts with a woman. Both were arrested.The American media made the most of this story.
::snipping2::
The American Giordano attracted publicity in August 2011 when his traveling companion Robyn Gardner disappeared without a trace during a holiday on Aruba. He was arrested and detained for several months on suspicion of involvement with her disappearance but was eventually released owing to lack of evidence.
This case is still unsolved and Giordano remains the only suspect. Especially in the American media Gardner’s disappearance was linked to the disappearance of another white and blond American female on our island, namely Natalee Holloway, in 2005.

I DROVE AWAY WITHOUT KNOWING
Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway with Sunny Tillman
Page 14-15:
On Thursday May 26, 2005, Natalee came into my bedroom at three o'clock in the morning to tell me it was almost time to go. Everyone was gathering at a friend's house for the ride to the airport. My job was to pick everyone up at the airport when they returned on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, 2005.
While Natalee was going to be out of town, Jug was going to his lake house to visit with his family and friends. In our marriage, the second for both of us, we rarely vacationed together. My son, Matt, had made his own plans with friends for the weekend, so it was the perfect time for me to take a much-needed, overdue trip to my family's lake house in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I had not been there in a very long time. Birmingham is about nine hours away, so it was just too long a drive since moving here to make the trip on a regular basis. I was very much looking forward to visiting with my family. Everyone's plans were made.
In the wee hours on this Thursday morning Natalee and I loaded her things in the back of the car and headed off to her friend's house. It was very dark at that hour, and we were both only half awake. But we did talk some. Small talk. We reviewed what she had packed, going through a mental checklist of passport, cash, camera, sunscreen, and the like. When we arrived at her friend's house, she came to life. The adventure she had been excitedly awaiting for months was finally about to begin. She jumped out of the car and bounced to the back to get her bag. I got out and walked around the car to help her. She gathered her things and looked up long enough for me to kiss her on the cheek.
"I love you! Have a great time!" I told her.
She replied, "Bye, Mom! Love you!" and slung her purple duffel bag over her shoulder.
The bag made her walk slightly bent to its opposite side. I got back in the car as she made her way up the long walkway to the front door. Turning the car around to leave, I stopped and looked back over my shoulder to see her go inside. The front door of the house opened just wide enough for her to slip in. I saw her silhouette in the beam of light that shone from inside. The light narrowed as the door closed, then disappeared completely. It was pitch-black again. I drove away not knowing that would be the last time I would ever see Natalee.

THE PROVERBIAL DREADED PHONE CALL
Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway with Sunny Tillman
Page 23:
Rested and refreshed, we leave Memphis late Monday morning with Linda driving and Marilyn up front with her. I take the backseat. We sail along, chatting like we alway do, talking about our plans for another road trip one day soon. Marilyn and I are happily speculating about what our daughters' reactions will be when they open their presents to find a set of extraordinary Wizard of Oz figures. Natalee will gasp with excitement when she sees these. Before we know it, we've crossed over into Mississippi. Somewhere amid our conversation, between the chuckles and the small talk, my cell phone rings. I don't recognize the number, but answer it anyway, which I usually don't do.
It's a young girl. "Mrs. Twitty? My mom ... umm ... my mom, she umm ... wants to talk to you." It's the daughter of Judi, the travel agent. She developed appendicitis right before the trip, so she and Jodi didn't get to go to Aruba. They are in Birmingham. It seems like an eternity before Jodi takes the phone.
"Tell me what's going on," I say in a voice much firmer than the one I usually hear coming from my mouth.
She simply says, "Natalee didn't show up this morning to get on the plane."
And instantly I know. It's more than a mother's intuition. It's certainty. Something terrible has happened. I have just answered the proverbial dreaded phone call that no mother or father every wants to receive. The one we fear from the moment our children are born. The one that changes a parent's life forever.

Just keep on doing what you believe to be right.
This case was so full of tin men, cowards, and scoundrels.
Let them continue to self-destruct and fall.
...and you keep on going!
The question was simple...
It's as clear today as it was on day #1.

Talking To Beth Holloway Five Years After Natalee's Disappearance
05/30/10 1:45 pm | reporter: Ebony Hall posted by: Ebony Hall
Mountain Brook, AL - It was a story that made headlines across the globe. The search for missing Mountain Brook teenager Natalee Holloway. The story that dominated the airwaves- also took over Beth Holloway's life. She is Natalee's mother, and five years later, she is still looking for answers and hoping Aruban prosecutors can close this case.
"I'm not sure if there is anything new, but they are processing all the leads and the tips that they have received."
Natalee is now presumed dead, but no one knows how she died or why.
We've really tried to be so careful and not to speculate as to what happened an just stick with the known facts."
We do know that Natalee was last seen alive with Dutch teen Joran van der Sloot at Carlos n' Charlie's. Over the years, van der Sloot has told many stories of what happened that night. All the while Beth listened to each of these tales hoping to find a thread of truth.
"I think there was one where he said he sold her alive.I think there was another where he said she fell of a balcony in a swamp. I think now it's become so muddy for me that no my journey for justice is not ended."
It's been five years since Natalee disappeared. Legally, her family could now file for a death certificate in Alabama, but they have not thus far since Natalee disappeared abroad.
"We know that Natalee is no longer alive. I know we had talked about that earlier, few years ago,but it is not something that we have done yet."
Over the years, Beth and her family have learned how to deal with the pain of losing Natalee, but it is still an open wound. In March, a Pennsylvania couple thought they may have taken a picture of a body- maybe Natalee's body- on the ocean floor. News like that- always makes the family hopeful.
"You know I got caught up for a just- you get taken in. But as I said, there is a quicker recovery time where I am able to compartmentalize it and focus on what I can do..."
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."
Making A Difference
Beth Holloway thought she knew exactly who she was more than five years ago.
"My life was defined with two children, a marriage, job and home. When a tragedy strikes, you lose everything."
During the Memorial Day weekend of 2005, Beth's life changed forever. With Natalee missing, she was now the mother of one- not two. She would later divorce her then husband Jug Twitty. So she was no longer a wife. Her life "definition" changed- and with it so did her life's purpose.
"I received the call that all mothers and fathers dread from the moment their children is born- that my daughter was missing."
So now her mission is to help others. 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."
Beth says she had no idea who to contact in Aruba when Natalee went missing. She also knew nothing about the Dutch system of Justice or who was in charge. Out of her frustration a new global security and assistance company was born. It's called Mayday 360.
"When I present to these high school and college students, I could give them the personal safety and travel safety message, but I really felt like I couldn't equip them with a real tangible resource. And I feel with Mayday 360, I can because that is real time, real security assistance, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
She says her definition of herself continues to evolve, but everything she does now can be traced back five years to Aruba- the place where paradise met tragedy. The place that gave birth to her new life's work and hope that..
"No one will ever experience what I did heading home from a family vacation on Memorial Day."

Seven years has come and gone since Mother and Daughter's final goodbye.
Could it be that a concience will emerge from one who was aboard the Persistance ... one who witnessed the betrayal of Natalee Holloway's family when the ship's Project Lead afforded unchallenged the contents of the trap to the Aruban enemy ... the Aruban ememy who has prevented justice from prevailing since the morning of May 30, 2005?

Beth Holloway's Story
The Oprah Winfrey Show | March 14, 2008

Despite what authorities have said, Beth says the case of her daughter's disappearance remains open for her family. "We've never really relied on an investigative approach to finding an answer," she says. "I think what we've relied on more heavily is
at any given moment something unexpected could happen
, and we really feel like someone could talk at any moment."

Turning the car around to leave, I stopped and looked back over my shoulder to see her go inside. The front door of the house opened just wide enough for her to slip in. I saw her silhouette in the beam of light that shone from inside. The light narrowed as the door closed, then disappeared completely. It was pitch-black again. I drove away not knowing that would be the last time I would ever see Natalee.
Thank you for posting this Janet, it is every parent's nightmare and this holiday weekend must be unbearable each time it passes for this family. I don't think I could survive it.
It's just so poignant..........
One has to wonder if Anita and Aruba ever lost a moment to caring one iota for the loss, only for their own sorry hides.

Hi none
I realize that Beth has been on a personal mission since departing from the Island in August, 2005 ... a mission to rise from "victim to victor" over her circumstances but ... each anniversary which marks that defining point in time when her life changed forever has to be sooo difficult.
Anita van der Sloot? What can I say other than that woman does not get it. Even when it about her son's victims ... it is about her.

Nothing has Remained Intact
Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway with Sunny Tillman

: Nothing of my life before Natalee disappeared in Aruba has remained intact. Not my career. Not my home. Not my marriage. My husband, Jug, and I are divorcing after six years. My son, Natalee's younger brother, Matt, and I are moving in two days. I have a lot to do.

Interview with Anita van der Sloot - De Telegraaf - June 19th 2010
Anita: I now believe that Joran might have done something to Stephany in Peru. Maybe an act of rage? I don't know. I'm very saddened that that businessman Flores lost his daughter,
and I my son
. That's the way it feels like."

Transcript: Van der Sloots Speak
Thursday, June 23, 2005
ANITA VAN DER SLOOT, MOTHER OF DUTCH SUSPECT: It's extremely tough. He's in custody now for 13, 14 days, I think. I have lost count. And I love my child. I believe in him 200 percent. And it's just like a big nightmare. We don't know how to deal with it because you can't deal with it. We think about the family a lot because their life is a nightmare
but our life is a nightmare, too

I Will Press On
Loving Natalee: A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith
by Beth Holloway with Sunny Tillman
Pages 230/231:
I can't say for sure if we'll ever know that answer to whether my daughter is alive or not. I know it doesn't look good. But just as that old metal spiral staircase rose from the ashes when our lake house burned down, so too faith stands strong in the remains of this devastating loss. And just as my Dad built another house around that staircase, I will build another life around hope and faith. It won't ever be the same. But I pray that it will, at the very least, be useful.
The hope that filled Natalee's heart fills mine, and
I will press on
. Faith got me up this morning, and faith will see me through tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.
Page 232:
Without hope we are hungry. And on a very deep level, desperate. But no one has to be. What's so amazing is that we can feed each other. We can help each other. We have the power to give resilience to others who are fading. We can nourish each other's spirits and save one another from defeat and despair. Every one of us possesses this power to "love thy neighbor," and we need to use it every chance we get.
