The Montgomery County man suspected in the disappearance of his traveling companion in Aruba has been ordered released from police custody by Tuesday. Fifty-year-old Gary Giordano has been in jail on the Caribbean island for nearly four months while investigators gathered and evaluated evidence in the case of missing person Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Md.

In a private hearing on Friday, the judge ruled that Giordano must be freed Tuesday without any conditions.
