I find it interesting that GG walked all the way down around towards the back of the dive shop to where he parked his car to fill that cup he had in his hand when they were obviously getting ready to leave. It's a hot walk in that sun and they were planning on leaving within a couple of minutes after his return. Not sure how fast those sleeping pills work but if he dropped one in her drink at 4pm how long would it have taken to work?
Another thing I found interesting. Most restaurants, let alone those with a bar available, do not let you bring your own drinks to the table. He was able to do that and I'm sure that made them "quite" memorable. I mean who does that? So cheap you won't buy a drink but you think nothing of renting a RAV4 which is almost $400 a week. An SUV is not needed unless you plan on driving along the cliff areas of the eastern most coastline because in the high rise area all the roads are paved. I had a small KIA and did just fine. Even drove through the National Park which is mostly paved but some of the areas still have dirt roads. jmo
Ambien works very, very fast. That's why they instruct you to go to bed immediately, better yet, have it ready to take when you get into bed.
And it is troubling to me that he would bother to return to the car to refill their cup with oj and vodka when they were preparing to leave the restaurant. He obviously couldn't wait till they got back to the car for another drink, but then Robyn would have been there and he couldn't have slipped anything into it without her seeing him, hmmm. :shakehead:
Here is the article that gives the timeline: S&BBM

"At 3:57 p.m., Giordano returns to their rental car outside and refills his blue cup, going back inside at 4 p.m. Seven minutes later, Gardner heads to the bathroom again. One witness has said that at this point she seems sober but groggy.
They leave together at 4:13 pm., appearing to be talking normally, with Giordano again walking ahead of Gardner but stopping and waiting for her to catch up at one point."
She seemed sober but groggy, this sounds like the Ambien, or perhaps another drug such as Rohypnol, a common street / date rape drug, taking effect. That 5 minutes after Robyn went to the bathroom was just enough time for GG to get the ticket and pay the bill, then they were out of there. Jmo.
