Companion's Aruba disappearance 'will weigh heavily on me,' man says

An American man who was held in Aruba for nearly four months in connection with the disappearance of his traveling companion insisted Thursday he had nothing to do with her vanishing, but said it will "weigh heavily on me for a very long time."

"I feel as if a person I cared about, a companion ... has disappeared on my watch," Gary Giordano said on ABC's "Good Morning America" in his first interview since being released from custody in Aruba earlier this week.

Giordano, 50, had been held in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner of Maryland, who was last seen August 2. Giordano told authorities the two were snorkeling when he signaled to Gardner to swim back. When he reached the beach, he told police, Gardner was nowhere to be found and has not been seen since.

    Who can prove that Giordano's account is not exactly what happened?

    Obviously, nobody, because they're letting him go.

    He should have used some of that vacation money to pay a visit to the Hair Club for Men.

    He should do like OJ, and search for the REAL killer. Like OJ, he should search every golf course in California and Florida until the REAL killer is found.

    Also like OJ, he should deal drugs to make money, and try to sell memorabilia under the table through some shady characters, then confront the same shady characters in Vegas when they fail to pay him from those sales. If he isn't pointing a gun at anyone, he should get away with it, even if he's on tape ordering his buddies to bring guns. Right?

    OJ has a new golfing buddy. WOW. It looks so easy to get away with murder, all around the world.

    The lack of evidence proves that he did it. Case Closed.

    Quite candidly, neither one of these people comes across looking like a model citizen.

    Weighs heavily on his mind? Huh! Giordano, heavy enough to take you to the bottom of the ocean maybe? You need to be sharkbait! Explain the life insurance! You should forfeit it to her family, it would go along way in making you look less guilty!

    I have been browsing on-line more than 3 hours today, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. Itˇs beautiful value enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the internet will likely be a lot more useful than ever before. red bottom
