ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) ? U.S. businessman Gary Giordano has been released from jail in Aruba after nearly four months of detention as a suspect in the disappearance of his traveling companion, Robyn Gardner.
Giordano is now free to leave the Dutch Caribbean island but his immediate plans are not clear. Prosecutors still consider him a suspect in Gardner's presumed death. He left the jail with his lawyers.
A judge allowed his pretrial detention order to expire Tuesday, ruling prosecutors failed to present enough evidence to continue holding him as a suspect in the presumed death of Robyn Gardner.
Giordano has denied wrongdoing. He says she was swept out to sea while they were snorkeling.
