ARUBA - Robyn Gardner, 35, Maryland woman missing in Aruba, 2 Aug 2011 - # 9

[Elley Mae]

what exactly is he supposed to do when he gets to aruba? drive around the island with an open window and a megaphone shouting "robyn!! robyn!! where are you??"? should he don scuba gear and dive looking for her remains? what can he do that ALE hasn't already done?

now, i understand if remains are found for him to want to go to aruba to leave a memorial/say goodbye, but this isn't the case yet... so i don't really see why he should go there or be condemned for not going there.

(and i don't think one can compare this to BH traveling to aruba asap learning of natalee's disappearance... NH was a minor... and BH is her mother. not the same thing at all imo)

He could borrow that traveling billboard from george anthony:floorlaugh:

i realize you were trying to be funny but sorry-- don't find this funny at all... RF has no idea what happened to RG... most people think GA knows exactly what happened to caylee and knew shortly after the car was found. that billboard was a farce. RF and GA are not even comparable in my eyes.

I think RF is just trying to be a thorn in GG's side right now. jmo

my comments in blue

fair enough
I can understand not being interested in RF

In came up because we were discussing RGs relationship with him

And he has made many remarks about his relationship with her

We are trying to understand, why, if she was in a relationship with RF, why she went away with GG

To be frank, I don't want to bash him, I am trying to understand him and her

And he has put himself in the middle of it all

And his intentions may have been honourable but he has not come out looking good IMO

He seems to be another bully JMO

Let's see if I can explain my comment.:

No I don't expect him to drive around with a megaphone calling out her name,
Now that would be silly, wouldn't it?

No I don't expect him to don scuba gear and go diving looking for her remains.
That would also be pretty silly ,wouldn't it.

....but you asked those questions, so here is my answer.

My comment/ my opinion:

I find RF to be disingenuous. He has inserted himself into the middle of this case, because he CLAIMS to be "in love" with Robyn Gardner.
Tell me if it were your fiance, lover, husband,someone you loved deeply, would you be able to be camera ready at the drop of hat, but never go to the "Place" you loved one disappeared? It is a show of support. It is a show of respect. It surely isn't necessary NOW, but in the days immediately following her disappearance it might have been the right thing to do, perhaps even accompany her parents. I believe in the beginning it was everyone's hope they would rescue her or recover her body.I would think he may want to be there to support her parents if nothing else.

I also find it curious how it is all RF, all the time on TV, and we have yet to see her parents. Perhaps he is the "family spokesperson", I doubt it though, he has not helped this case in any way, it is all talk. So there you have it MY opinion / my comment.

.....and there is absolutely no way I compare RF to Beth Hollaway---if for no other reason then, Her love for her child was palpable. :twocents::twocents:

but you initially asked why he hadn't "set foot on aruba to look for this woman he loved... "... hence my comment.


i find your comment above this unnecessary. if everyone else is entitled to their opinion, so am i.

 

[LambChop]

I have only heard RG's mother and brother mentioned as her family. I would think they were advised not to make any statements to the press, at least not at this time. The investigation is still ongoing so I'm not sure what people would want them to say. jmo

I see what you're saying, but we don't know where RF has been.

And that Robyn's parent's or family haven't come forward isn't really indicating anything positive on their behalf either, imo.
At least RF is doing something, and seems to be the only one. Whatever his reasons are, are his own.

Then we have Robyn's so called best friend / roommate, whatshername (Christine?), who bragged about giving Robyn's clothes away to charity as though she was doing a good deed and Robyn a favor. It's as though she believes GG's story, that Robyn just drowned? But no, Robyn wouldn't go snorkeling, so it can't be that. Therefore, she must believe that GG murdered Robyn, so then, how and where, and if that's the case, then where is her body? Something about this "best friend" just bothers me, so I will shut up about her. I guess I'm the type who doesn't give up that easily and I don't like people who do.

The fact is we or no one really knows what happened to Robyn or where she is, dead or alive. So why did this "best friend" of Robyn's do something like that before what happened to her is fully known?

Perhaps RF has his own reasons for doing what he does, I don't know. But for me to imply it without knowing would just be presuming something I don't know. Plus, he's the only one out there who seems to care enough and who has enough moxie to still keep the attention on this case as far as the media goes. Maybe I like him a little if for no reason other than he seems to be a fighter, not one who just gives up at the drop of a hat. jmo

Authorities made a request very early on for the family to leave TV Murdertainment Talking Heads out of the investigation. The family has respected that request. RF has not.

Wow. Wonder why they singled out this particular case and this particular family. Like I said, if there's something I like about RF, he's not a quitter.

Just my Two Cents

Nobody is going to tell me to keep my mouth shut when I have a family member missing.
Good Luck!

I do enjoy reading your thoughts and opinions

Thought you were saying you had a family member missing until I reread your post

Its early!!!!!

I don't think they have singled them out. Since the FBI was working with Aruba on this case obviously they know more than we do and have asked the family not to speak to the media. It's still an ongoing investigation and GG is a very dangerous person, IMO, with his threats and stalking. The family may have a reason to be fearful of him.

As far as Robyn's clothes, perhaps her roommate asked the family and they requested she donate them. I think they have accepted the fact she is not coming back.

And let's face it whether you like RF, or not, he is keeping RG's name in the news and that is important. He may be doing what the family feels they can't. And he certainly is not one to be easily intimidated by GG as he appears to have a "bring it on" attitude towards him. jmo

 

[Dushi]

If she was spending six nights a week at RFs house, She may not have had many belongings at her friends.

Is this the same friend who travelled to Auba?

LOL, I am not very timid :blushing: and sometimes I am very :furious:but one thing for sure is I don't take directions well.

When I arrived at family home after being informed that Dad was having problems and the cop told me not to enter property I told cop it was private property try and stop me, he didn't.

So with that said I would not have listened to no body if Robyn was my daughter, I would have went to aruba.

RG's mother did go to Aruba. She was down there before GG tried to leave the first time. jmo

You are absolutely right. I suppose if RF went there immediately after RG disappeared, he would be there and "able" to help them look. That is what I meant, sorry , your right, that was not clear.

....And that comment WAS my opinion.

That's possible, but she claimed she was Robyn's "roommate", which sounds like most of her belongings would be there. But maybe most of her stuff was at RF's. Yes, she's the one who travelled to Aruba.
