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?
