[annalia]

Information and review of Match.com. I was way off when I posted that thousands of people use it, it states here that they have "15 million" members.

http://seniorliving.about.com/od/sexromance/fr/matchdotcom.htm

With more than 15 million members, Match.com is one of the largest general interest dating sites on the Internet and one of the most successful at bringing people together. The staff at Match.com calculates that every year more than 200,000 people find the person they were seeking by using Match.com. And Match.com reports that people 50 and older represent its fastest growing user segment.

Apologies if this has been asked/answered elsewhere in the thread: Was Robyn divorced, or did she sometimes use Colson-Gardner as her full name? Is Colson her maiden name, or did she have a hyphenated surname?

Snip:

"A sign posted on the front door of Giordano’s house in the 12000 block of Pueblo Road in Gaithersburg warns visitors that they consent to being videotaped when they enter the property or the house, which is the only one on the block not visible from the street."

Weird!! Well let's hope they find some tapes in that house. They better tear down the walls or go over that place with a fine tooth comb.

Maybe her parents are divorced and the Mom re-married??

I don't know the answer, just throwing that out there.

Video and article. Updated 8 min ago. FBI interview a new woman and she appears on this video. He wanted to sleep with her and HER DAUGHTER and so much more info. He even wanted to take them to Aruba.


Snip:

C***** E****** 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.

 

[concentric]

What was my last post and prior posts concerning? Modeling. And this just confirms my suspicions. I still think that GVG offered Robyn a free trip in exchange for some photos on the island. That's MO and I'm sticking to it.

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.

The sugar daddy theory I proposed is also looking pretty solid.

Definition from Urban Dictionary: sugardaddie
1) A man who spends money for the benefit of a younger person, especially a younger woman.

2)Usage notes: This term typically implies that there is a romantic or sexual relationship between the two, and sometimes implies that the money-spending is, in effect, exchanged for sex
My sugardaddie buys me lots of expensive gifts.

I thought I heard her boyfriend say that he had already dropped off her cats and her clothes with her brother?
Like I said before it really bothers me that he lied about how many times the police had been to his home and that it was HER that was drunk both times [I am sure he was drunk too]. He only admitted to the Feb police visit at first to Dr.Drew and then when Drew pushed him he had a OOOOOOO yeah right momment and said thats right the police were also here in July I forgot
A month ago ? you forgot ? I know I would remember a police visit .
Okay so thats neither her nor there but I dont take what he says at face value now .

JMO: Yes. She just lost her job. However, I also think that she could have been attracted to the guy and could have envisioned herself as a "real housewife of Aruba" maybe. One of her favorite shows was: Real Housewives.

She also probably thought he was admiring her beauty and desirability, when in fact, he was evil.

 

[concentric]

JMO:
Perhaps she thought that she was upgrading from the boyfriend, to an even better "situation" with GVG. I think GVG was in the process of convincing her that her dreams were going to manifest. So, in her anger at the boyfriend she takes off with GVG to glamourland. She probably just expected some bikini photos on the beach. After all, she knew she was beautiful; well, any insecurities were laid to rest when GVG reassured her. This tryst would also "get back" at the boyfriend perhaps, that other men found her desirable and worth spending money on, thereby increasing her bargaining power with the boyfriend?

JMO: Let's face it, how many women want what La Bella Vita, that "knight in shining armor"?

Gary Giordano's Former Lawyer Bob Flynn Worked On First Divorce Case

"He plans out his moves and plans out what he's going to do pretty carefully and thoughtfully. I never got the feeling that he did anything as a spur of the moment kind of thing. Calculating would be a good way of describing him," said Flynn.

Thank you sunsetbeach for those links.

JMO: Yes, this guy is monumentally calculating.

Here's my question to you: What was his ultimate goal? Did he intend on getting videotape, photographs, etc. to sell? Or was he negotiating to sell her to someone as a sex slave?

Bottom line, he lied to her and told her what she wanted to hear. That is how he lured her to the island.

 

[HatesSociopaths]

FYI the lady who talked to the FBI (C.E.) about the money for sex with her and her daughter posted on the FB page for locating Robyn yesterday. I then went to her FB page and saw that her daughter is 20 years old and works as a stripper.

Another thing is she had gone to NY for a TV interview on July 28th for reasons unknown. "My daughter and I are flying to NYC next week to do a talk show! A few days in NYC!!! WITH my girl! Watch out NYC here we come!"

My hinky meter has gone off. She may be using this to get media attention for her and her daughter. She would be travelling in dangerous waters to be lying to the FBI, though. Just something about this makes me suspicious.

JMO:

I will not be surprised to find out that this guy actually knew Joran Van der Sloot. They are two peas in a pod. Didn't Joran hang out at casinos?

Or...maybe he just took some "cues" from Joran.

Let's face it, Joran was "negotiating" trafficking women to the Netherlands where they would "dance" in clubs.

Ooooh I don't know. My gut is telling me he was sexually attracted to her and once they were in Aruba she turned him down and he snapped.

I think we all suspect this anyway, but it's so terribly sad to see it in print...

Colson was her maiden name

 

[concentric]

He was into taking videos, photos of his girlfriends and posting them. I have to suspect that he was making a profit from these products in some way.
