Gary Giordano, who had been held for four months in the disappearance of Robyn Gardner in Aruba, was arrested in Maryland after he was found naked with another woman in the back of a Cadillac Escalade, police say.
Giordano, 51, and a woman identified as Carol Bock, 45, of Tennessee were arrested for investigation of indecent exposure after they were discovered by Annapolis police responding to a call of possible sexual activity in a car in a parking garage last Friday evening.
When officers shined a light through an SUV window, the pair were seen lying naked on a mattress in the rear cargo area with a blanket hanging "in what appeared to be an attempt to conceal their activity,” say charging documents reported by the Washington Times.

With Gary Giordano, the main suspect in the case, freed on Tuesday, family and friends of Robyn Gardner, who went missing in Aruba almost four months ago, have spoken of their frustration at still not having any answers.
"We still don't know where Robyn is, and that's the issue I'm concerned with most," Gardner's boyfriend, Richard Forester, tells PEOPLE. "I am hopeful that the U.S. authorities will be able to find some answers from the computers and phones as to what happened and hopefully that will lead to finding Robyn."
Forester admitted he was still working out how he felt about the release of Giordano, Gardner's traveling partner, whom Aruban authorities consider a prime suspect.

Casey Anthony's defense attorney has a brand new client.

In July, Baez successfully defended Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of murdering her daughter Caylee.
After the not-guilty verdict, Baez, who had only been practicing law for three years before taking Anthony's case, told Barbara Walters, "After I heard 'not guilty,' I had a moment. I thought, 'My life is going to start to change.' "

Gary Giordano, the man suspected in the disappearance of traveling companion Robyn Gardner in Aruba, "is not a monster," his father said on Tuesday's Today show.
"The least I can do is stand up for my son and tell the world that what they've been hearing about him is not true," Frank Giordano, 80, said on the NBC program.
Frank Giordano also released family photos of Gary, including some with his three sons (their faces masked for privacy), to display the "other side" of the man he says has been vilified by the press.
"I would like to show … the side that shows Gary as a good human being who's good to his family and good to his friends," Frank Giordano says. "I know he would not be able to kill someone."

New Aruba Witness: They Weren't Snorkeling
Originally posted 08/22/2011 09:30AM
While Gary Giordano has told police that traveling companion Robyn Gardner disappeared in Aruba after the two had gone snorkeling, a fisherman who saw them contradicts Giordano's claim.
The witness says the couple took a walk along the reef at 4 p.m. and then drove away a short time later without going into the water, reports ABC News.
"We're investigating that material, seeing the relevance to the investigation," said Aruba Solicitor General Taco Stein.
Last week, Giordano, 50, was ordered to remain in an Aruban jail for another 16 days while police investigate what they call "serious inconsistencies" in his story about the Aug. 2 disappearance of Gardner, 35. Police on the Caribbean island presume the Maryland woman is dead.
