ARUBA - Robyn Gardner, 35, Maryland woman missing in Aruba, 2 Aug 2011 - # 1

Google "robynlgardner" with the quotes. You will see the profile and the reality program site I am referring to.

I don't know, since she was unemployed and I've been unemployed myself a couple of times in this economy, I'd be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt - you begin to start considering some pretty crazy ways of making money once you start getting desperate - I, and friends of mine who have also gone unemployed in this economy, have all discussed our moral boundaries when it comes to working on a phone sex line ("it's just talking, only you're acting!"), casting calls for commercials, pictures of your feet for foot fetish sites ("its just my feet, not my face") and selling your underwear to perverts on craigslist ("if he wants to buy my dirty undies and that's it, sure"). Trust me, you start to think about, if I HAD to do this and only one time, could I do it if I was desperate enough? Unemployment will definitely do some wacky things to your head.

Let me just say that I am sick and tired of media claiming that this is a "mirror" of our Natalee Holloway. NOT SO.

This chick evidently AGREED to go on this Aruba trip with this weirdo after having a 1-1/2 year weird "affair" with him.

DO NOT compare her with Natalee Holloway.

So, what are you saying? One is more innocent then the other?

You must not be familiar with the Aruba case when a high school team went to Aruba to celebrate their graduation versus THIS. This is a case where a man took advantage of someone IMO. Do you disagree?

They are comparable to each other and to other cases.

They are both victims of men who preyed upon them,they are both missing ,loved and missed.

I wouldnt say the cases mirror each other in many ways but in a few they do.
They both were expecting to have a wonderful vacation in a beautiful location.
They both wanted to have fun and have memories that lasted a lifetime.

Neither expected to be murdered or missing or betrayed by someone they should not have ever trusted.
JMO.

If they have the policy then maybe they do know but for whatever reason they don't want it released yet.

It's too hard to believe that it would take that long to look at the line that says beneficiary and see whose name is on it or the face value of the policy. They're not that complicated. Someone in the police dept slipped up and leaked it to the media?

Robyn's mother was the beneficiary. Confirmed by investigator on Dr. Drew show. Even more strange.

You have to remember that not all killers and even serial killers (I'm not saying GG is one) kill their victims or trap their victims in the same manner, many will try and outwit LE by making a killing seem different to their last kill.

Interesting article in People Mag

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."

We've already/currently discussing this, I dropped the link to this a few pages back, when the news story broke. :great:

I feel sorry for his kids. Such a shame to put them through all of this.
And for what?
Because their dad thinks he's "god's gift to women?"

Have you prepared any charts on this?

I will agree to that.

 

[Elley Mae]

I thought that name G------- was familiar. I asked someone who I thought knew the name and he said oh yeah the G-------'- do Not trust them. lol small world

 

[Peliman]

Well I must say I got a charge out of finding out Aruba has no 5th amendment. GG has no right to silence in Aruba, anything he says may incriminate him and he's being interrogated 6 hours a day. Reported on GMA this morning.

A very large search for her is expected to take place on the southern part of the Island soon, maybe including military personnel.

I guess I'm not really surprised to learn this... I never really felt this was a premeditated act of violence against this woman. I don't think Giordano had any plans to murder Robyn when the trip first began, but I think something happened while they were in Aruba that caused him to lose his temper and snap. As someone who's experienced domestic violence firsthand, I know how quickly one can lose their temper and flip out... it seemingly comes from nowhere most of the time.

 

[belimom]

With GG as beneficiary: then I believe it was premeditated 100%.

Without GG as beneficiary or no policy: then I wonder if he had plans "with" her that he needed to drug her for, then mixed with the vodka (if this is true), she had a reaction. By the time he got to where he was going with her, she was either dead or on her way... ... (<MOO if this is the scenario). He then concocted the whole snorekeling story. By the way, didn't I read somewhere that there was an open but unused condom? I'll look for the link. (ETA: here's the link: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1108/17/cnr.07.html)

 

[HatesSociopaths]

Just a thought but maybe the insurance angle was used in court to buy 8 more days. It leaked but was only a way to buy some time. MOO.

This Just In.

I have just confirmed the following information:

GG does indeed wear a rug.




Let's hope Taco asks for some type of reward money to exist, to get these people talking.

Enjoy,
