After a week of fruitless searching on land and sea for missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner, authorities in Aruba believe that she will not be found alive.
Prosecutors in the case are diligently gathering enough evidence on prime suspect, and Gardner's travel partner, Gary Giordano, before he goes before a judge on Monday in order to extend his detainment on the Caribbean island for an additional eight days, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
Giordano told police that Robyn was apparently pulled away by the ocean current as they snorkeled off the southern tip of the island on August 2, reported MSNBC.com but her remains have not been recovered.
"As long as we don't have a body, you can question whether or not she is dead," explained Solicitor General Taco Stein in Aruba. "On the other hand, with all the publicity on the case, if she were still alive she would have made herself known."
According to ABC News, Giordano's Maryland home was searched by the FBI on Thursday, whil
