An American man detained in connection with the disappearance and presumed death of a Maryland woman in Aruba has been ordered to remain in police custody for another 30 days as authorities continue their investigation, Aruba's public prosecutor announced Friday in a press release.
An Aruban judge issued the order Friday for Gary Giordano, who was arrested on August 5 "on suspicion of involvement in the disappearance and death" of his traveling companion, Robyn Gardner, three days earlier, the prosecutor said.
Giordano, a 50-year-old Gaithersburg, Maryland, resident, has told investigators that he went snorkeling with Gardner on August 2 and that she failed to return to shore with him as they snorkeled at the southern end of the island.
Giordano's attorney had argued at a court hearing Friday that his client's "life is being destroyed" and that he should be released from custody.
FULL STORY
Good. They need to hold this guy until they find out what happened.
They really need to keep this man locked up until they have some clue as to what happened with the lady.
Strange things happen in that area! Bodies just disappear. Is that part of the Bermuda triangle?
This could be Casey Anthony all over again.
If there is no evidence of a crime, how can you prove that a murder was committed? How can you keep a man in jail without evidence of a crime?
Years ago, I went swimming (body surfing) with a buddy at a remote beach in Jamaica.
I lost sight of him, got out of the water, and looked. I became convinced that he had drowned and told some people.
A few minutes later he walked up to me, smiling.
He'd met a girl, and they disappeared behind some trees. (I never even saw her.)
That could have happened to this woman that we think was murdered in Aruba.
The only common thread between the two cases is Jose Baez. In the Anthony case, there was PLENTY of evidence a crime had been committed AND who committed it. Little girls generally don' t get away from the mother responsible for them, accidentally drown, then miraculously put duct tape on themselves and walk to a mucky swamp and jump in....all while Mom is off dancing. Robyn Gardner didn't just magically disappear either. Keep the creep in jail.
I say we all pitch in and purchace a ticket for Nancy Grace to Aruba... .
Nancy's the one.
She doesn't need evidence: she has emotions.
That is possible JIF. However your friend didn't take out a large $$$$ life insurance policy on her. There are strings that tie him to her that are questionable and why a lot of people believe he is guilty. There are a lot of possibilities on a case with no physical body.
You gotta know befoe you start ho'ing!
portland tony. you r a perfect example of an as.hole. who lets these guys get away with such bull. he sounds like another pig.
This guy got a llife insurance policy on his "good friend" just days before the pair took off for Aruba! That says it all, to me!
GUILTY .NEXT CASE!
