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

[ceyler]

It was her Personal car....located in Maryland

Its seems like the facts are a little off,( the boyfriend was changing his stories I read) I wonder If they had a rental Car? when I went to Aruba the locations they mention seems seem pretty far apart and I know there was always someone around it wasnt like the Caymans where you could snorkel and not see a person for a while, I wonder If there is a missing piece of luggage and or bed sheets?There must be Camera footage of them leaving to go snorkel,, but, I think they never snorkled that day,,I wonder If that Hotel is all inclusive ..? I think it is and that means lots of drinking and who misses a meal when Its free ,,I bet they didnt eat breakfast the day she was missing,,

The bf said in the interview earlier that she said she was going on a family trip? Why would that story be different now? Gosh can't anyone just tell the truth.

Also it must be a strained relationship or the family doesn't know anything of the bf if they didn't think to call him. She supposedly has been dating him 2.5 years and been living with him for 6 or 8 months. And the family doesn't contact him? Seems like she doesn't fill her family in on her life.

It is confusing with the bf and her "dating" GG a couple times a month....

I do not believe it is AI

I am a bit confused as there are two threads about this case
Is there one I should post in over the other?

Maybe the BF did not know until she left that she had gone with another man?

Did she really meet him online? And then go to Aruba with him? yikes...

Has anyone read anything about the dynamics between the two of them at the resort?
Did they mix with other tourists or keep to themselves?

A photo of Giordano at the link. He has criminal records. Domestic violence and thefts. It's not sounding good.

From the LInk posted above:

Giordano was also previously married. He divorced his wife in 2008 amid allegations of domestic violence, according to Maryland court documents. During the divorce his wife obtained an order of protection, court records show.

Court records also indicate that at least one other woman has sought an order of protection against Giordano and that he has several arrests for thefts under $500.

I also found this one: (A Mercedes?)

The age is correct (the article is from 2003) then 42 - the location is correction (near Fredrick or Germantown Md.)

I just wonder IF it's the same person, with the same middle initial "V"

Employees observed the man removing Target stickers from each box, according to police. Realizing he was being watched, the man abandoned the shopping cart, fled from the store and got into a silver Mercedes Benz station wagon, police said.

Through its investigation, the Montgomery County Department of Police's Career Criminal Unit discovered that the man was the same suspect who shoplifted from the Target Feb. 1 and March 1, according to police. The man also stole merchandise from the Target in Frederick April 24, police said.

"Through our Career Criminal Unit, they work with a lot of loss prevention agents at the different stores to see if there's a pattern," police spokeswoman Officer Joyce Utter said.

Police identified Giordano, who was arrested by the police's Repeat Offender Section, as the suspect involved in the thefts, according to police. He was released after posting a $2,500 unsecured bond, police said.

IF there is another thread, then I must have posted yesterday onto that one, because I don't see my post here.
:waitasec:

In it, I said, on a FB link for finding Robyn, a woman spoke up and said that she had met them in Aruba in the Hotel lobby, talked with them and Robyn sat (not too close to him)............she said she noticed he was much older then the girl, and she said that she noticed the Tatoos on Robyn's arms and they spoke about them.
It's on the FB link.

"Maryland court documents show that a Gary Giordano there has a criminal record, including two orders of protection taken out by women that claimed he was violent. One was taken out by his ex-wife during their divorce procedings.

That's all him. Do you happen to know what his earlier wife's name was? The reason I ask is that there is a photo of him from 2009 with another blonde woman who looks very similar to Robyn. I am wondering if there is a pattern to his choices in women, ala Ted Bundy, whose victims resembled the looks of his ex-girlfriend.

Police detained Giordano when he attempted to leave Aruba after reportedly promising investigators to remain on the island.

He also told investigators that travel insurance had been purchased with Gardner's mother listed as the beneficiaryhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/10/earlyshow/main20090530.shtml

Suspects Attorney Says 'There's No Proof': http://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-missing-aruba-natalee-holloways-mother/story?id=14271819 (Video at link)

In Aruba he can be detained without charges being brought against him

IMO, they will find proof
I know it is difficult without a body or a crime scene

 

[HatesSociopaths]

I hope they are searching his house in Maryland. There is likely evidence that will profile him and build a case. I also suspect there may be prior victims and crimes for which he has not been caught. This could be very helpful in getting him behind bars.

I think Gary must have caught her texting Richard and he got very upset.Last message to
Richard "I Love you".I wonder if she was just using Gary to get away.

This is what I think happened. Sad!!
