Robyn Gardner Missing: Dogs Arrive In Aruba To Search For Maryland Woman's Remains

The Huffington Post/Associated Press

ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- A team of cadaver dogs has arrived in Aruba to search for the remains of a Maryland woman who was reported missing two months ago by her travel companion.

Solicitor General Taco Stein tells The Associated Press that the dogs arrived from the Netherlands last weekend and will begin searching soon for the body of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner. He says the search will focus on a southeastern section of the island known as Seroe Colorado.

U.S. businessman Gary Giordano has been jailed since Aug. 5 on suspicion of involvement in her presumed death while authorities pursue evidence against him. Giordano denies any wrongdoing and says Gardner was swept away while they were snorkeling off the Dutch Caribbean island.

Giordano's attorney recently criticized investigators for staging a "one sided" reenactment simulating Giordano's claim that Gardner's drowned in Aruba's Baby Beach. Giordano continues to deny any wrongdoing despite his reportedly checkered past involving women.

Authorities are also investigation a $1.5 million insurance policy taken out under Gardner's name that listed Giordano as the beneficiary.

Police have stated that they believe Gardner is dead.

Aruba is one of the most beautiful places on earth & the people there are so friendly. I have been half a dozen times & already have vacation plans for next year as well. I live in CT and there were over 130 murders last year alone. Aruba is only 70 square miles (19.6 miles long, 6 miles wide). Get over yourselves saying you won't "go" somewhere because two american girls went missing over the last few years. If I could find a way to live there, trust me, I would. Oh, and Hawaii had 24 last year.

What took so long? The Aruban police are clearly totally incompetent. You have to wonder why anyone even wants to go to Aruba after the Natalie Holloway disappearance. It took another country to trip up Joran who was so obviously guilty.

didn't we read this like, a week ago? we'll be starting the search soon? i don't know why, in many many instances, they don't START with dogs. i've always had dogs, and their noses are never wrong. dogs know a LOT before we do, and they don't lie.. Trained dogs are invaluable in SO many things. why don't they use them first?

If it's the Aruban police walking the dogs then forget it. The dogs could be standing directly over the body and they'd swear they searched and found nothing. They are one of the most inept (and probably corrupt) police departments in the world.

Isn't a little late for that? This woman has been missing since the beginning of August---it is now October 7th. The sharks have already chomped her down & s**t her out.

Who really cares. A female can do what she wants. She was not married. Men do what they want go with women they really don't know. So why should it be different for women.

It is the Dutch justice system. They don't have to have a reason to put you in jail. And, we don't have to go there. Problem solved.
