Today, an Aruba Judge ordered that Gary Giordano be released by Tuesday, November 29th without any conditions. This would allow Giordano to freely leave Aruba and return to the United States.
Giordano has been held during the investigation of the disappearance and presumed death of Robyn Gardner. Gardner disappeared on August 2, 2011 while vacationing with Giordano on the island of Aruba. Giordano initially aided the Aruba authorities in the search for Gardner and claimed that she was lost at sea while they were snorkeling. On August 5, 2011, Giordano attempted to leave the country on a commercial flight and was detained by the authorities in Aruba. He has remained in jail since then.
Giordano and Gardner met on an adult matchmaking site called Adult Friend Finder which claims to be, “The World’s Largest Sex & Swinger Personals Community.”
Prosecutors in Aruba have indicated that they will appeal the order to release Giordano.
