learned his freedom from an aruba prison is just four days away. >> it was an emotional reaction whereby when i asked him what he really feels about his release, he started to cry. reporter: the 50-year-old gaitersburg man was arrested but never charged after he told investigators his travel companion, robyn gardener disappeared while snorkeling off the coast of areub a. the body of the 35-year-old fredrick woman still has not been found. the pair took off for their caribbean getaway july 31st and were scheduled to return august 2nd. investigators discovered giordano took out an insurance policy on gardener before their trip. prosecutors believe that was giordano's motive for murder. >> we have an obligation not only to justice but also toward the family of robyn to find out what has happened and to bring them closure. reporter: we spoke to aruba solicitor general taco stein on the phone today.

he says giordano has been held under probable cause while investigators continue to work the case, checking giordano's, pressing him for critical answers that could help solve this mystery. >> we feel those reasons are still there. for us, he still is considered a flight risk. reporter: and still giordano's prison sentence expires tuesday at 8:00 p.m. theoretically he can get on a plane and leave that country immediately. prosecutors tell me they will file an appeal wednesday in court. if they win, they hope to extradite giordano back to aruba. if not, they can wait until they officially press charges. andrea. >> thanks so much. the doors are open and items are flying off the shelves for black friday. these folks waited outside the stores at the fair oaks shopping center and once the doors opened it was fair game. and in new york the ceo of macy's says he likes what he's seen so far today. about 10,000 people were waiting in front of the
