Hey Dushi'

You are absolutely right--NO Such Vid!!

You and I were discussing this on 9-09-11 on Post #738 There is also the article you referenced in that post .

Ann Angela a spokesperson said they had viewed the Lobby security tapes and there "was nothing there"
The NE had printed video pictures of the supposed argument, but it was stated it was a "re-enactment"

Maybe MaryAnn can check this post out.

Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the Aruban public prosecutors office, said authorities are still trying to piece together what Giordano and Gardner were doing in the days before her disappearance, and how they were getting along. She said police have reviewed surveillance video from the hotel where they stayed, and examined images of Giordano and Gardner, but didn’t see anything unusual.

“We have the video and we don’t see anything,” Angela said.

Thread number 4, Post 468 give you a picture of the exact spot where GG claims he and RG went into the water. I was unable to link to it so if someone else can bring it over we can see it on this thread. Thanks

 

[Dushi]

I couldn't find the link. Can you post it please?

Yes

i have posted it and i will find it and post it again

Here is a side by side of the two dresses:

ETA, I have blown up the pic of the securitycamera footage, and even though the colors are vague it does look like she is wearing the same dress there as the day before.

Not sure but I belive the photos were not even taken on the same vacation

 

[Dushi]

Oh I don't know, they make their money on tourism? I know I don't want to go to Aruba because of all this carp - and I would definitely be alarmed if my young daughter wanted to go.

Taco Stein said GG is still the prime suspect.

So i shall take this as your opinion
nothing obvious

The url you posted doesn't work. Sounds reasonable that there's nothing on the tapes they can use. It's mentioned in so many places, amazing how a rumor spreads.

This article, which doesn't appear to be a real news site, says there was a rock with a bloody hand print....

Here is a better look at what the water looks like in that area. No way she went into the water there in her barefeet. jmo

Bad link....see below.

Not sure what's going on, that one is not working for me either....

]I have heard this stated several times and I don't understand why Aruba would benefit from another unsolved mystery[/B]

These things don't go away, they hang there

As was stated in the release statement, a judge decided there was no evidence strong enough to bring charges

Taco Stein also stated that they are continuing to look at any new evidence and should that evidence be found, they would file for extradition

I had to go back and read your post again.

BEM: Who said Aruba would benefit from another unsolved mystery? I guess I read that differently since you bolded my "Aruba wants this to go away".... which obviously means they would not benefit if the case continued to dominate their news.

It is in Thread 5, page 11, post 270 from IslandSurfer. I could link to it but not sure what is wrong.

I think the Arubans just wanted GG to go away. From reports of those living on the island they wanted JB gone, also. Send him home and let the US deal with him. jmo

Here's the video Islandsurfer friend posted about Nanki beach showing the rocks and water video.

JB gone....what? They couldn't be hospitable and take him snorkeling?

FWIW Robyn was not wearing the same dress two days in a row.
(in reaction op various posts in the thread before this one)

The dress in the evening of July 31-August 1:

The dress on August 2:

-----------

Noticed something about a week ago, so asking if anyone else did. Only speculation, asking a question, IMO.:

As they are leaving the restaurant, Robyn appears to be looking to the right, while GG appears to have his upper body turned forward and appears to be looking forward.

There is a car parked immediately in front of them. From what I can see, there might be one of those silver windshield heat shields on the dash (I could be totally wrong, though). If there was a heat shield in the windshield, do you think it might be possible that someone could have been sitting in that car watching them? If so, Robyn probably wouldn't have noticed since her line of sight seems to be towards the right.

It might be the camera/lighting, but it does NOT look like the same dress to me. One has slightly different color variation. To me it looks like she liked the dress so much that she bought another one almost exactly like it. I wonder if LE has both dresses? He may have left the look-alike dress on the rocks instead of the one that she was wearing when he pushed hre off the cliff into the rocks below.

Maybe the same pattern, but definatly not the same dress. JMO

The dress she has on sitting at a table has predominantly red in it, the one she wears two days in a row, has mostly light blue.
