No, it's not the Natalee Holloway case. It's the case of Robyn Gardner, a beautiful, blonde, 36 year old wannabe model who is looking for love in all the wrong vacation partners. Having just lost her day job and going through a rough patch, Robyn decides to lie to her current boyfriend, Richard, and take Gary up on his offer for a free trip to Aruba. Gary, an older man (and certified scuba instructor) is someone Robyn had recently met on the Adult Friend Finder website. Not only has Gary been trying to get Robyn to go away with him since they first hooked up, he's also been kind enough to purchase a large amount of traveler's life insurance on Robyn. (Always a good sign!) Get ready to roll your eyes into the back of your head as the details of this case play out. And just when you think you know where it's going… there's another insane wrinkle that will leave you agape. Definitely one of our wildest cases. Stay safe out there and do your research when choosing your vacation partners!

Robyn Gardner, a 35 year old woman from Maryland, flew to Aruba for a tranquil vacation with Gary Giordano, a man she had met online. Two days into her vacation, they stopped for lunch and proceeded to Baby Beach for a snorkeling excursion, only for Robyn to vanish without a trace. The inconsistencies and suspicion surrounding Gary's account led to his arrest on murder charges.  However, he was eventually released due to a lack of sufficient evidence for prosecution. This case is a gripping roller coaster of emotions and perplexing clues, leaving the lingering questions: Did her companion play a role in her demise? Was it an unfortunate accident, or was there another reason for her disappearance?

Two days into their trip, she disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Though she was never found, police received a call that would blow the case wide open and place all of the suspicion on her secret love interest.

Robyn Gardner, a 35-year-old native of Bethesda, Maryland, was reported missing during a luxury snorkeling vacation in Aruba. Gary Giordano, a “friend” who took her on a vacation trip to the island, made the report. Ms. Gardner was seen leaving a local restaurant, early in the day.Giordano tells police that he and Gardner went snorkeling together. He indicated that the currents were getting strong and they decided to go back to shore. He said he lost sight of Ms. Gardner, and he thought she had been taken offshore by the strong currents. But when authorities and local citizens say they noticed that Giordano was sweating profusely and had a noticeable scratch on his neck. Local authorities searched the immediate area with no luck. They eventually brought in cadaver dogs to try to find Ms. Gardner, but nothing was found. Police then became aware that Mr. Giordano had taken out a $1.5 million life insurance policy on Ms. Gardner, naming him the beneficiary shortly before the trip to Aruba.Joining Nancy Grace Today:Danielle Unglesbee - Victim's Sister, Travel Planner/Professional, Memories Travel & Tours, www.mymemoriestravel.comJim Elliott - Of Counsel, Butler Snow LLP, www.butlersnow.com, Instagram: JimElliott1957Dr. Jorey Krawczyn [KRAW-ZIN] - Police Psychologist, Adjunct Faculty with Saint Leo University; Research Consultant with Blue Wall Institute, Author: Operation S.O.S. - Practical Recommendations to Help “Stop Officer Suicide” (July 2021) bw-institute.comKaren L.
